There are a lot of found footage horrors these days, and this isn't the best but is very far from the worst.
The actors do a pretty decent job on what must have been a hard shoot, there is a great set and pretty well executed scares without trying to show too much.
It's not the most original but does a decent job on a very low budget.
Worth a watch in the dark over Halloween.

Otherwise, not much, if anything, new here. Paranormal and found footage movies need to come up with something new and/or original instead of the same tired tropes. I've seen "reality" shows more engaging. I watched it through to the end hoping to not be disappointed. It's not a terrible watch for a low-budget flick but, I would only recommend it if you are in need of something to occupy your time or background noise.
Why does IMDB require so many characters?! Wouldn't 250 be just as efficient? I'm not sure what else to say so, I'm just trying to meet the minimum requirement for this review..

It's been done before, Grave Encounters springs to mind, but it's not bad for a low budget indie.
I've seen worse, a lot worse, I've seen better, much better, this sits nicely in the middle ground, a reasonable plot, some scares, I little claret, worth a watch in my humble opinion.
I thought this was actually pretty good for a found footage sort of film. Story was reasonable, acting was reasonable. Had some good scares. I think it's current imdb rating is fairly harsh and think its score should at the very least be a rating of 5 or above. I don't know what the people who gave this movie a really low rating were expecting... yes I admit, it doesn't have the same production value as the Ten Commandments or Oppenheimer or some movie like that, but it isnt the type of movie that needs to. I sometimes think people expect too much from these movies.
Anyway I thought they did a really good job. Well done guys.

Truly nothing new in the found footage genre. After all these years it's getting to seem like they all blend together. This movie starts out like many before and is a bit monotonous at times as well as over dramatic. However, as the movie builds there are some quite good scenes to satisfy both the found footage fans and horror fans alike. This especially goes for the ending.
