I must confess to initially being quite fond of found footage movies, and the odd gem occasionally still pops up. Unfortunately this isn't one of them and joins growing list of misfires in the genre. The premise is quite interesting, but the execution fails to deliver. Even at a relatively short 76 minutes, it seemed too long. When the back story is outlined at the beginning of the movie I really was expecting something above average. However there was very little in the rest of the film that capitalised, or even referred to, this back story. There is basically just a lot of running around screaming and extremely annoying shaky, out of focus hand held shots. Some mostly unexplained arguments and confrontation between the main characters, but very little in the way of actual action. The ending is predictable, and has been done so much better in other movies. There really is nothing new to see here. Next.

Typical amateur effort of a found footage film. The production values are not terrible, though little is asked of them. The acting is not great, so there's no suspension of the sense of disbelief and as a result you feel the whole time like you're watching a college film. You don't get lost in the story like you would in a better FF film like Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity. It feels false throughout.

Another problem is it relies on the same old tired tropes that were once interesting in FF, but no longer are: the rumbling sound when something supernatural is about to happen, accompanied by the video blurring and skipping; infighting between the trapped victims; the evil spirit using the voices of already-dead victims and other people to trick the trapped victims; the tearful sign-off right before the last girl is killed. Sound familiar?

The film feels forced, is badly acted and has nothing new to say, so I wouldn't pay for it if I were you. Even if it's free it doesn't have much to say.

I'm usually quite patient with bad movies, but this one was painful. I think a creative child with an Iphone probably would have done better camera work than this crew. Sure camera POV is efficient in general to set an atmosphere "à la Blair Witch", but this time it's mostly bad camera work, bad lighting. It's incessantly shaky with too many scenes where the only thing visible are the actor's crotches and off voices which aren't clear at all. The best camera work was with the camera on tripod from the scenes in the hall and haunted bathroom. The sound was bad, the actor's all spoke at the same time rendering dialogue quasi-inaudible.

As for the acting, it's a miss. The interviewer girl is annoying, and continues to be more so until the end. The psychic is probably the better "actor" amongst them, but the script is deficient. The result is just sad. It is not scary but merely uninteresting and unoriginal.

If you want to spend 1h16min watching people sitting around a banal looking classroom screaming and freaking themselves out, this is the movie for you. Otherwise, stay away from Classroom 6, where boredom is the true killer.

I'll start by openly admitting that I'm one of those people who actually enjoy found footage movies, even this type of Grave Encounters mimicry, but this was not an enjoyable experience. The set up had promise but didn't manage to deliver anything but the worst of the genre. Too many characters confused what little plot there was and the scares (even jump scares) were non existent. The atmosphere was okay and i did like the way they chopped in forward flashes of things to come but overall it failed. It failed to follow story lines through, it failed to answer any of the questions it asked, it failed to make me care about the people and it failed to scare.

It is short but when there are so many movies out there that do it right (or at least to a satisfactory standard) there's just no point in watching this one, it will disappoint.

I am usually a fan of found-footage for a few key reasons; 1. The acting is usually on par to many big-time Hollywood productions.

2. The use of practical effects over CGI makes things look more realistic.

This movie has nothing, and I mean NOTHING, redeemable, to the point where I am wondering if I should contact the creators and ask for my time back from watching their abortion. The actors are not competent enough to carry the film, and end up being more annoying than you would care to admit. Seriously, I wanted the whole cast dead within the first 35 minutes.

The story has been done ad nauseam, and so much better by more talented individuals. There are no special effects to speak of, and the few moments where anything happens are so few and far between that you begin to wonder if this movie was just an excuse for some people to be seen some twisted vanity project.

The worst offender is the neck-beard holding the camera; he was just an insufferable tool, and the constant shaking of his Tourette's like camera work actually made me nauseous, to the point of vomiting. Very rarely have I had this sensation of physically being ill from the movement of the camera in a film, and this a$$hole succeeded in that respect.

The moral of this travesty; some people are not cut out to write, direct or star in a film, and the public should make it their duty to constantly remind them of the fact. DO NOT give this movie your precious time. You will regret every grueling moment of it.

If I could leave no stars I would. The camera man must have never held a camera in his life. No idea how to handle nor work a camera. I got a migraine from attempting to watch the constant shakey, bad angles. Constant extreme close ups and then pans out then back in. Odd angles of up nose shots, crotch shots, arm shots. Nothing happens for more than half the movie, pointless recordings of conversations about nothing. Only entertaining actor was the hispanic guy who gave spurts of comical comments. A whole movie with bad acting, worse camera man ever in the world, story line just dragged on and on. No imagination what so ever put into this. An actual documentary would have been way more interesting than this garbage. Please who ever created this whole movie continue working a regular 9-5 and don't ever attempt making a movie again. Spare us your lack of talent.

Ok it isn't a new idea with handheld found footage but I was still game. The "camera guys" need to zoom in and out constantly was ridiculous. The participants fear when nothing had actually happened was silly and unbelievable. The wanna be fued with the two guys was out of nowhere and pointless. Also the lack of camera focus was irritating as well as the countless crotch shots. Like, why?

THIS STARTED OFF AS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT I THOUGHT OK I WILL WATCH A FEW MORE MINUTES BEFORE I GET SO BORED THAT I WILL HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO WATCH! ALL I CAN SAY, I WAS VERY SUPRISED, CAUSE I WAS HOOKED! THE REST OF THE MOVIE HAS SOME GOOD JUMP SCARES BUT ALSO HAS A GREAT PLOT THAT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE! ALL IN ALL, I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!

A rather dull, mediocre acted horror, with lack of scares... seemed like it had Potential at the start... but didn't get where it was going

To date I have rated 1,026 movies on IMDb, but I have only written one review.

I save them. I save the reviews for special cases.

I also watch a lot of found footage. I have seen and rated 56 of them at the present time. I feel they help me work out my karma through intense self-inflicted suffering.

This is my second review on IMDb.

I know there are worse movies. There are. But this one is terrible. Everything about it is utterly terrible. It is an extraordinarily terrible movie.

I feel that, because I endured it in its entirety, my karma is drastically closer to being expunged. This dreadful experience has brought me one step closer to Nirvana.

So, if you enjoy terrible, terrible writing, terrible, terrible acting, and terrible, terrible camera work (even for a found footage "film"), or, if you feel that you need to have your astral body scoured clean by pure suffering, then this is for you.

Otherwise, I recommend anything else. Anything.

It's not too often you can say a paranormal found footage movie is a rip-off of a specific movie. They all borrow so heavily from each other, but this one is clearly a rip-off of Grave Encounters. Classroom 6 however, is far worse. Take everything Grave Encounters did and make it cheesier, less entertaining and far less scary. The biggest difference between the 2 of Grave Encounters tried to keep the scares going for far longer. Making the breakdown of the characters far more believable and honest. Also GE felt big and maze like. This movie has an entire wing of a school and they do little with it. Overall, entire thing feels like a lazy ripoff.

If this was a college project or an exercise in copying the Blair witch for uni then for an amateur its not a bad attempt. If its a commercial release then shame on you. Its a poor mans rip-off of the original blair witch project. the acting is poor, the casting is poor and the scares are a really rubbish attempt at hiding the fact you are copying other better films. Wouldn't waste my hour and half if i were you

You'll still think this is below average, at best. Positives: The acting was good, especially the actor playing the psychic. Decent premise. Negatives: Incredibly boring. Not remotely scary and not even a jump scare. The extent of the "scares" are the ghost/demon/whatever it's supposed to be (because we never see it) tossing back a tennis ball and yanking a couple desks around. I've seen hundreds of these movies, many of which I imagine had a similar budget to this. At least these other movies attempted (though likely failed) to scare you. This doesn't even bother. I found myself thinking, ok so here we have a crew member tossing a ball into the hallway and here we have some other crew members yanking desks that they tied a rope to. Neat.
