A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Don't watch it waste of time . This is my first review that i make and I'm here to tell you to now watch this movie.I stopped the film at 30 min in because i was boring as f from this Shi**y movie.I don't know what to say more just don't watch it waste of timeBad acting , bad writing , bad cinematography , most of the time you have no idea what the f is happening because of the camera that keeps shaking and stuff.I'm done i don't wanna see this movie ever again or even remember of it because it was so f awful.And i don't what are the others reviews . i really don't get it bad movie and they are giving i 9/10 like ??? hello ?
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I especially appreciated the acting, use of music and that a lot of the elements where off screen and thus left to the imagination. The movie starts by allowing you to get to know the characters more and thus actually care about them. It also shows family life in a very believable way, thus making the movie even more scary. I would recommend this to horror fans. Especially those who like 'old time' horror.WARNING: SPOILERI also loved the use of the camera and TV as characters. END WARNING: SPOILER
Approaching this film with the doubts I've come to view almost all "found footage" horror films, I was truly amazed with this entry. With the exception of the Paranormal Activity 3 and 4, all the found footage movies I've seen in the past year or two have been awful. But this film is different. Even though the directing is about what you'd expect in found footage stuff (actually a little better than PA), the writing and acting are awesome. After a brief section introducing the family members and friends in the story (with some nice humor), then the action really rolls! Once things get moving, there's hardly a stop to catch your breath from then till the end. Just the ending in itself will leave you breathless. The characters are well made and acted, so you really do care about them and care what happens to them. Every family has its "skeletons" in the closet, so if you come from the average family, you can relate to the characters here. If you see any found footage horror films in the next 12 months, make sure it's Paranormal Activity 4 (and 5?) plus this movie!
I saw this film recently at a private screening, the "final final" version (I think 99 min. long?) in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. I'm not sure about the hype that something like this really happened in Malaysia, but the film delivers on its own. After the story got set up, I was grabbing my seat the whole time. DJ Perry and the Filipino cast was excellent. Plus one great Malaysian actor! Very good! Hooray! If you want to see a film that will scare the wits out of you, this is really it. The "home video" setup made you feel like you were trapped in some dark place, a nightmare where you could never wake up. I had nightmares myself the night I saw it, about people getting chopped up and mutilated. If you check out any horror film this year, see this one!
