Like another reviewer said, a movie for me is either I'm in or I'm out, in the first 15 minutes. This one, I was in! Kept me entertained. I particularly rated Rick Yale playing the convict, acting wise. Shame he wasn't in it more. Yeah, the plot may not have been the most original, but not many films are now. Hard to come up with an idea that hasn't been done in some capacity, by now. This one touched on some bizarre big brother come Saw concept. What I expect from a netflix flick now is a good standard of acting, a decent dialogue and a storyline that can keep me entertained. Not expecting every film to be an earth shattering unique, block buster. This one I felt had good pace from the start, to draw me in, was entertaining and definitely delivered an overall good effort, though slightly predicatable twists. Character wise, gave a fair bit of personality and background to help with the storyline to the main characters. Looking forward to potentially a sequel!

First, I thought I was actually going to fall asleep with boredom waiting for anything of note to transpire. I actually started to noddy dog. The back story was dull as dishwater, characters lacked any appeal or a anything to keep your interest. Nothing happens for aaaaaaaages. Just lots of boring 'artsy' shots of sunsets and a dull blonde girl spinning around in the dessert, in various dresses, talking about her dead mum alot, as its her character's whole personality that she has a dead mum. Then when the action starts you're no better off as can't see a thing. Just left listening to screaming and booming sound effects. The storyline that never was becomes even less so. The ending is of course poor and explains absolutely nothing, really. Honestly, it tries so hard to be something special, yet is so bad. Just lots of fake blood when you can see, but mostly noise and everything to dark and badly filmed to make out. The worst found footage film I've ever watched to be perfectly honest, and I've even watched Dybbuk Box: The Story of Chris Chambers.

Totally agree with another reviewer that the "home" of one of them is definitely not. The house is bare. No ornaments, photos, art on the wall, coasters on the coffee table, drawers for clothes or anything. Barren. Either a stage set or rental for the film, as are some of the others, so already makes you think about how much more of it is faked (all of it) Not a great deal of any major interest happens. The youtubers try to act unscripted and 'natural' yet don't quite pull it off. It feels very scripted. Basically a paid plug for their social media. A lot of the content is fluffed out with pointless footage like opening a car, over head shots of the car etc. Felt like it tried to evoke the tension and feel of such as Blair witch and paranormal activity with the interviews over the phones with supposed real people, and such cases, and the sudden ending, yet didn't have enough creepy content in the middle to build it up.
