I jumped. I'll admit it. Maybe I'm not that sophisticated? Or, I watch without having distractions. No phones. No kids. But I jumped. And there's one point (no spoilers) where I asked myself, how'd they do that? I enjoyed the film.

(My first review) I loved it. After hundreds of found footage films - I stumble on this one. What drew me in were the leads. They were honest representations of very normal people. Kevin Hicks was a frightening and imposing character and his wife Vickie was immediately likeable and sympathetic. The supernatural elements were a bit different from normal. No deep explanations and you really don't need any. It is slow. It is handheld. It is low budget. There are no teen leads or nudity. No bad CGI spirits or ghouls. There were some creepy moments that were of the "blink and you missed it" variety (one was a bit derivative but still cool). At least one moment was frission inducing. Vickie Hicks' acting was totally convincing. Get this: A horror film with SEVERAL pets...and none of them die. If you are into found footage and such - I do recommend this as it's a welcome, and odd change.

I was terrified by Kevin Hicks character from beginning to end. Extremely creepy and awkward moments between the characters made for an uneasy "cover your eyes" film. Well thought out and well written story line. Would definitely recommend to any fan of horror.

This movie is captivating, for anyone who likes documentary style films you will definitely like this! Although this is fictional it still has relatable characters and kept me engaged. Many parts made me jump and I even screamed out loud at one point! Its worth watching!

If you're into POV horror, you might enjoy this movie. Its got a fantastic concept, very interesting plot. And the first act is suspenseful, left me at the edge of my seat.

But then it fell into the same tropes as so many other POV horror movies and ended with a dull thud.
