The House in Sherwood

This is a low production found footage film of a woman, psychic, investigating the haunting of a home. She is broadcasting live to rebuild her reputation. as a psychic and medium. At the same time and often in split screen, a woman is playing mean spirited pranks on the psychic as she feels robbed by the psychic for a bad suggestion. The focus on screen is often a small view, and this makes it seem very amateur. The acting of the psychic is okay but nothing special. The acting by the other woman is borderline camp and often off putting to her scenes. There is very little scares or thrills to this film. The presentation of the ghost has a eeriness to it, but little is done to extend or enhance this. Interesting concept that is poorly managed and presented.

Great idea and I love found footage but one of the actresses is beyond annoying I couldn't even make it half way through. I get she is supposed to be an annoying character but holy moly I'd rather have Katie Hopkins. Shame!! I'll swerve anything else she does. The lady who plays Angela is great though!

Right away this film seems like one likely to antagonize some viewers, as it seems to be entirely in second person view, watching the two actors as they film themselves like a Periscope video, complete with random floating emojis and comments popping up from fake twitter accounts and the like.

Very little is explained as to what is happening and why, but thankfully it starts to get clearer as it goes along. Basically, Angela (the redhead) is an alleged psychic, and Karen (the non-redhead) feels she was screwed over by some bad financial advice given by Angela. Now she is cyberstalking Angela, who is filming herself in a haunted flat, and decides to take her revenge by sabotaging Angela, sending her threatening letters and phone calls, and trying to expose her as a fraud.

This is basically the entirety of the movie, with the two actors basically chomping scenery with all the obnoxious energy of exactly what they basically are; youtubers. Along the way, we see some rather unusual stuff that might suggest Karen is possibly butting in on something else entirely.

Overall this is definitely the type of film which if a friend told me they couldn't watch because it was too annoying, I would be like "okay" and accept that.

It started off so bad I switched off after 5 minutes. Next day I went back as nothing else to watch. Worth it, despite how naff it seems at first and the ott of the 2 leads. If you like found footage horror, keep watching and watch the background in Karens footage closely. I adore found footage and this is worth a watch.

I enjoyed this film! It started kind of slow, but I liked that this wasn't a jump scare kind of horror film. It was a spooky one. I will watch it again. I am curious to see some of these other films from the UK.
