I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
OK, it really is totally unfair to review a movie were you only watched it for 10 minutes but I am as I feel robbed of 10 minutes of my life. Looking through Amazon on my fire stick this was free, it seemed to have an interesting premise so I took a punt. Found footage, god help us this genre has been utterly flogged to death, it is to scary, interesting it is boring. At the start a bloke gets his phone out and starts filming his girlfriend making dinner, I can just image getting home from work and thrusting my phone at my wife as she made dinner, then the friends come for dinner and you film them eating? At this point I gave up with the useless acting utterly boring dialogue and script, looking at other review probably one of my better decisions.
I don't know why anyone would praise this movie, and give a long glorifying review with colorful words. I'm wondering if all those great reviews were friends of the director or actors. The movie had potential to have a great ending. First of all, whose feet were at the garage door, about halfway into the movie? Who was the guy standing on the deck? We were shown all the scenes through his phone, so why would we suddenly "see" his dream at the end? That just throws confusion into the end of the movie. Why hasn't anyone mentioned all the orbs floating around in their bedroom in several scenes in the last 25 minutes or so of the movie? I thought for sure that there may be a supernatural element, since there were obvious orbs? So am I believe those were real orbs that made it into the movie? If they aren't real, why were they added?I also predicted the ending at the very beginning, since he mentions he used to sleep walk. This movie was suspenseful at the beginning, and I was very disappointed at the end.
I was excited to see this movie after reading the plot. Once I saw this was taped with a cell phone (i.e. low budget style) that was a turn off but decided to give it a chance anyway. After the first 5 minutes into all of the rambling on chitter chatter about Bob and who the heck else they were talking about..I became so bored and drawn away from the film I almost forgot I put on "a movie". It reminded me of when your at a house gathering or art galley opening with many people that you do not know and everyone is talking in this monotone voice, eventually what all begins to sound like...blahh blah blah...blah blah ..blah blah. Have no idea if this cell phone captured something more interesting but these characters, voices and script was becoming annoying. More effort in the writing would have been more appreciated to start or maybe more editing to get things going.
OK, So I almost didn't give this one a chance because of a handful of negative reviews I saw on Amazon. I have no clue what movie these people were watching because I loved this one!The acting was great and the plot was simple but effective. I don't want to give anything away, but there are some cool twists and turn throughout the film. The first half is slow, but still keeps u engaged. The second half is where all the action happens and it is well worth the wait. Its only a 72 minute film and by the time it was over, I was wanting more. I especially liked the character named Lawrence! Short but awesome cameo! I would absolutely recommend this film to anyone who likes indie horror films. This ultra low budget indie in my opinion is better than most of the big budget ones I've seen in the past 5 years.
