Watch Mr. Jones For Free

hyped garbage

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This movie breathes fresh life in the found-footage genre with some spazzy photography and creative cuts. It builds suspense beautifully - and keeps it there, so that you find yourself holding your breath for more than half the film! It takes a departure from clichéd jumpscares and other horror movie tropes and uses a formula that's not generic so that the final result leaves you unnerved and conscious of the silence of the night. The TRUE objective of a seasoned horror-addict, not those loud BOOs that give you a temporary adrenaline rush.The backstory is a bit weak, and character development lacking. A couple, Scott and Penny, take off from their city life to make a nature documentary. 'Don't you ever feel like leaving it all behind and running to nature?' Scott asks in the beginning, or something of the sort. No, we don't. Scott realizes pretty soon (in the first 5 minutes) that he doesn't either. And not a minute too soon. His exposure to the wilderness leads him and Penny straight to the door of Mr. Jones.Called Mr. Jones by (fans?), this is a guy in a mask and a cape living in isolation and leaving bits of what this movie's characters seem to consider 'art'. Yeah, nobody would consider that art, unless it came with references from an art college, an agent and a 20 dollar entrance fee.Penny is enchanted with what can only be described as creepy tribal tribute effigies, and so they instead make a documentary about Mr. Jones. This is when it gets scary (again, not a moment too soon).While the backstory doesn't hold up too well, my main issue with this movie is in two things: the switching front-to-back camera, and the ending. Other camera-work is simply riveting, but I don't know whose idea it was to turn found-footage into found-footage + cameraman's face. The face shots of a scared Scott lend little or nothing at all of value to the movie.Lastly, yes, the ending. It makes everything (all the nightmares) go away. That sort of dulls the horror. I was disappointed to know that Penny had been right all along and Mr Jones really WAS trying to protect them. It would have been so much fun instead if he was evil and they slowly lose their minds between dream and reality. But that's just my opinion.Definitely worth your time, if only for the scares that really work.

I love found footage films so I obviously had to give this one a chance. I really like how it started out, two people moving to the woods to make a nature documentary. I like this movie because it is different. Not a group of teenage friends who rent a cabin in the woods and end up being slashed to death by a creepy figure. Just two adults leaving their hectic life in the city to try something else, but find something entirely different that captures their interest.But then it takes a really bad turn. No more found footage and a really trippy and vague ending. This movie could have been SOOOOO good! But the ending, it ruined it all. Sigh.Even so, I can recommend this movie to anyone who liked found footage movies. Just don't expect a perfect movie. It's not flawless, but different. And that's what I like about it.

A dreaming couple downsize to the woods, where they enter a nightmare.Huge amount of skill in the storytelling. The opening sequence has lovely dialogue between a couple travelling in a car (the out-of-range phone conundrum is dealt with in seconds), then the editing flicks brilliantly through the exposition.But this doesn't hit the bass note needed for horror. Or, as an earlier reviewer said, it doesn't click and it's hard to tell why. It feels like an exercise in horror, rather than a horror, and I really didn't react to any of the scenes with fear, although there was tension throughout. The writer/director probably prefers original drama, rather than genre - if not he should stick with advertising.It gets back to the problem of treating horror as metaphor. Horror has nothing to do with reality - it is a dreamworld where the bizarre is made literal. So in this case the stolen package has to be the core, has to be explained consistent with the dreamworld. Instead, it's treated as a symbol and we never find out what's inside. This is genre - it's that simple. David Lynch is an exception.So much to admire about this: writing, directing, editing, sound. And the actors were good. But not a good horror.

I don't really have much to say about this movie.Its sound like good movie to me but I found very boring for most of the movie. That really annoyed it the movie was far to confusing to follow and I didn't really understand what the hell was going on,I didn't the fact it going back and forwards were other people were taking about Mr JonesI Did not find any of the movie scary or anything but There were some weird moments in the movie, which kind of liked even thought that really puzzled by the story.I thought the acting was really good in this moviei going to give this movie a 3/10
