This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Boring

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A group of friends travel to a deserted hostel in an isolated area of Ireland. After a long road trip they have to travel to it by row boat (which they do in the dark of night).When they arrive at the hostel there is no electric so they are in darkness. They begin drinking and smoking weed and decide it would be 'fun' to play the Ouija board game by using a glass and paper.They appear to make contact with a spirit who doesn't want to say goodbye which freaks one of the girls out. Strange things begin occurring which escalate as the movie progresses.This is a found footage style movie which, initially, is one of the better of the genre. The acting is initially excellent, very believable; the banter and chatting between the characters is very fluid and natural. The characters are happy, fun and likable. There is a subtle depth between them, showing solid relationships, affection and care.The beginning of the movie is really good and engaging but as it progresses it loses it's grip on you as the script and story begin to become shallow, predictable and annoying.Sadly there is a lack of originality, this has all been done before - and better. The characters begin to become extremely irritating with constant shrieking and screaming from the female characters which becomes unbearable at the end, so much so that I had to turn the volume down.The ending comes with basically no explanation of what has gone on or why. It's so disappointing as at the beginning the movie had so much promise. I have rated it a two purely on the quality at the beginning.

First off I would like to say I really hate it when people who are attached to a film come on here and give it positive reviews, just let your movie speak for itself, why try and trick people into seeing it? With that said I feel like I must say that those fake reviews in no way effected my thoughts on this film or my following review.So here we go again with another cliché found footage film. Since the success of Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity we have seen a huge influx of these types of movies, and honestly I think it's safe to say that this may be one of the worst ones that I have seen (I have seen a lot). The film kicks off with a group of friends driving out to a hostel, once they get there we are treated to about an hour of them talking over each other and saying things that no body cares about. We never learn anything about our characters, we are never given any information that would make us care about them or what is going to happen to them.So after an hour of nothingness things start to pick up a little bit, there are one or two flashes or a creepy girl in a dress and then things just get obnoxious. There is a point in the final 25 minutes where one of the female leads screams almost non stop until the final scene, a high pitched extremely annoying scene. I really wanted to shut the film off at this point but figured I had made it that far so I might as well finish it. So the friends just run around in the dark while they get picked off one by one (I guess, it doesn't really show what happens to most of them), then we get one more really poorly edited scare scene and the credits roll.This is a bad movie, odds are the people who made it knew it was a bad movie. Found Footage is the go to genre for film makers who don't have an original idea or any kind of budget. Obnoxious characters, no real dialogue, bad effects, and a terrible pace make this one of the worst found footage films ever made.

OK, i'm gonna try to be objective about this film.The only thing i save from this movie, is the acting. They do their job very well. But even that can't save this film from being a waste of time.Like usual, the people who commented and rated this film are sure related to it. It is sad, because it has a potential to be a good film, but NOTHING happens in the first 45 minutes. There's no tension, suspense, nothing.Some effects are OK, however the "scary" scenes are so fast that you don't even have the time to understand what you just saw. Big mistake over there.The editing is poor. There's like 30 min (after the movie really begins at minute 42) of shaky camera and dark images where you can't see anything.Believe me, this is nothing like the Blair Witch Project. It's just another found footage, that could have been decent.The 3 points go for the cast.

Bets horror found footage ever They're usually always bad, but every so often a little gem manages to float to to the surface of the quagmire. Invoked happens to be a good one, a very good one, in fact Invoked is an no-budget effort but Rosa and Mendes have managed to make the most of their location, while also throwing in a few CGI effects to add a supernatural quality to the film's finale. This Irish horror hits all the right marks – and it's one of the best found footage films since The Blair Witch Project hit screens at the end of the last century. This is definitely worth a look for horror buffscentury. This is definitely worth a look for horror buffs.
