Okay, so I love a good horror movie. And I don't mind a few clichés. But what I hate more than death or taxes is goofiness. American horror too often goes for the goofy or the gross-out, and a lot of whatever genuine creepy you might get out of the concept is dissipated by the Beavis & Butthead-level jokes.
Reverb has none of that in it. What it does have is a somewhat standard horror trope--think _Cigarette_Burns_, if you've seen it--played absolutely straight for all the chills it can muster. There's a good performance by the female lead, who I hope to see more of. There's also some fine camera work (the lighting of the studio is a natural) and a nuanced bunch of cheap audio jump-thrills.
Now there are some plot holes. For instance, who might have been holding the camera in a pivotal bit of video (nobody mentioned could). There's also an awful lot of yelling at the screen, 'Just get out! No, dude. Just get out!' But I'll forgive a lot for a genuine chill or two, and I got them.
I don't know what movie the last reviewer saw, but this one's a pretty effective and moderately original bit of Brit-horror. 8/10, because frankly, low-budget horror has a pretty low bar.

I'm giving it two because it started interesting but in the first 20 minutes i understand that i will fall asleep. The only reason that i didn't fall asleep was that the sound was really annoying. oh and that song, i don't wanna here it anymore. I think it was the stupid song ever. When you watch movie of these character you have to like the leading actors, well i was wishing the actress in the leading role to be killed from the beginning. And what was that ridiculous end. And the love scene was i don't know why it was even in the film. I don't have anymore words to express my feelings.
Overral i must say it was very bad and boring don't waste your time.

The movie is just awful, the entire movie runs on the same scenes, from beginning to end, I dozed off many times when I woke up it seemed that I was exactly on the same scene. No too mention the darkness of the movie seems impossible to understand what is going on. I know I need 10 lines to send this subject but the movie is too bad to have 10 lines of review. All I can do is adding bad and more bad review. The story seemed to be done by someone who was drunk or high. I am not a movie reviewer but anyone who watch this thing can't not give anything less than 1 Therefore, lighten up Mr. Director. Invest your money in something more useful
and then a movie such as this comes along, please do yourself a favour and do not watch this movie, by doing so you will in the process do a favour for the entire world and encourage these people to NOT make anymore movies, EVER again. The rating for this movie was 8.3, which i surmise is from those involved with this debacle of a film. The acting is terrible, well EVERYTHING is terrible, problem is, this movie has quite a good storyline behind, however i would have found more enjoyment reading the book. It isn't very often that I want to throw something through my own television, well I now know how far I can be pushed and I hope to god i never ever revisit that place ever again. After getting halfway through this farce i turned it off and thought to myself "What The?", so my recommendation stay away from this movie like it has the black plague.
Apparently, the evil spirits have Sharpie markers. The premise of evil in a recording is decent, and hasn't been done to death. The acting and production aren't awful. The script and execution destroy this movie. Completely flat and boring, relying heavily on imagery. I couldn't wait for it to be over.
