Below average mockumentary
jakegrogan-7523521 February 2022
Here we have yet another contribution to the mockumentary/found footage horror genre. When this style of storytelling is done competently, it can be rather effective in my opinion. Unfortunately, this is not one of those instances. The story itself isn't interesting enough to hold your attention throughout the entire film, quickly losing me after the first few minutes. The acting is abysmal even by found footage standards. Logic issues are prevalent, not to mention the poor editing at times. Low budget isn't an excuse anymore, honestly. I really hate to say this, but the most entertaining and exciting part of the movie is the woman taking her clothes off in the beginning. This is definitely not the worst movie I've seen, not even in this genre, but it's a far cry from some of the better films the genre has to offer.

Spend your hour and 12 minutes doing anything other than watching this

From the first scene, it's very clear what this movie is going to be. Unbelievable actors, the best thing about a great actor, you forget they're acting, you're so caught up in the emotion, the suspense of what's going to happen next, this is not that kind of movie. From the huge holes in the plot, the TERRIBLE soundtrack which is comprised of three random keys on a piano; and scenes where instead of feeling fear, all you can think about is how this movie could be so much better. They fail to pay attention to the small details. There is literally one, and I repeat, one scene that is good. With low budget, comes low budget actors. Not only does this movie not make any sense, you can see the actors can even tell it's going to be a terrible movie. Stay as far away from this movie as humanly possible.
