There Are Monsters

First, I like the idea of body snatcher monsters and it was executed very effective in this movie. The characters, tension building, subtle effects, it all works here... but... what on Earth happened with camera?! Such a good movie completely ruined by what I can only call amateurish shaky blurry camera work. It's not only irritating, as the story/writing is actually engaging, but also quite uncomfortable to watch. Why oh why, you had it and you blew it completely!

...but the overdone shaky and out of focus cam makes it pretty much unwatchable at times.

Other than that, this is a very decent "Invasion of the Bodysnatchers"-type remake with a lot going for it. It's a shame someone didn't point out that the shaky cam was just absurdly over-the-top and get the camera operator to hold it a bit steadier - like virtually anybody else using a hand-held video camera would.

Ay you know that actually scared me wow, when their faces moved it actually sent me under the covers. My 25 year old brother was holding on to me for dear life at different parts during the film. I didn't like when he did that but fully understand why.

This has some great ideas and is genuinely creepy in places. Based around a Body-Snatchers type found-footage premise, it's got some great ideas, but ultimately just falls flat due to a lack of budget.

I'm pretty sure it was shot on iPhones, but in all honesty, that mostly works, and the beasties get some really cool stand out scenes. They also sometimes get some rubbish ones.

Sadly, it just needed some more cash and maybe a year or two's more experience for the cast and, presumably small, crew to really nail it. If you are a film student or just really love horror, do give this a bash though, as it's got some solid ideas in it.

Really enjoyed the storyline, shame none of the potential movie makers in the film could actually focus on anything. Felt quite seasick at times and got bored watching a black screen. I get that they were trying to be realistic but I can film from a car window and still focus. Having said that, I did enjoy it
