Catskill Park

I honestly believe I could get my phone, spend 1hr on a script and spend a few days making a more entertaining, better acted and looking film - yes, it's that bad, I genuinely cannot believe this has even been released.

I enjoyed this movie. It might have been low budget but the acting was good and the movie had high tension throughout and it was creepy. I would recommend it to all science fiction fans.

I think high school drama class students could have delivered a more convincing portrayal of the main characters in this movie. The acting is forced, almost comedic in parts where the film is supposed to be serious and suspenseful. The constant arguing between the two male friends early in the movie is annoying and it made me want to turn it off after about 15 minutes. Although painful to watch, I kept at it and finally some action took place around the 30 minute mark. However, the film goes downhill from there and this found footage novelty isn't worth your time. The effects are lame and the camera angle of the characters running through the forest in the dark is unrealistic; the lens is too far away from the actor for him to be holding it with his hands. It's obvious a third party non-cast member was holding the camera in front of him. Skip this piece of garbage and save your time.

With the stupid camera jumping around, this movie quickly becomes unwatchable.

I got about 45 minutes in, and I just can't take it anymore.

Besides, If this were real life, what kind of person would film constantly? You're camping with a pretty girl. Put down the damn camera. Makes no sense.

If any effort had been put into this at all... even the slightest bit, I would have given it a better score.

But this is the worst kind of ultra-cheap "let's make a movie because who knows, some suckers will pay to see it and we'll at least get our $15 investment back" tripe.

Shame that when they 'found' the footage, they couldn't find a light, some dialogue (and no, screaming, shrieking drunkenly at each other, crying, and sniffing don't count), some even remotely likeable characters, or perhaps some action aside from bumbling around the woods in near complete darkness.

Seriously: this was so bad, I refused to waste more than 15 minutes on it. I jumped forward several times out of curiosity, and every single scene was a couple of idiots stumbling around in the dark woods crying and dribbling crap, and not making any headway.

My advice? Go watch grass grow. It's 200x more exciting, and you'll be getting in touch with nature.
