This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This movie starts out with a familiar enough premise. Friends going on a road trip from the city to the Catskills, in this case to celebrate the birthday of one of the girls and guess what? Yep one of the guys feels the need to film everything along the way and you get the usual "Are you going to film everything"? type complaints which every one of these movies seems to have.Along the way they notice they're being followed by a van (for no apparent reason of course) and they all start to sort of freak out. They stop for food where yes again they see the van. Their destination happens to be this huge house (in a very remote area of course) which belongs to the birthday girls' aunt. When they get there the power is out. The aunt then shows up to turn it back on and at no time do they mention being followed since the girl claims her aunt is "very over protective". Anyway, that night they film themselves eating, drinking and being silly. The next day they go for a walk in the woods where they get lost...only to find their way back. This is where the whining of the girls (one in particular) starts to become insufferable.I won't bother with any other details, suffice to say the intruder(s) show up and bang at the door etc. They leave a video tape which shows that the group was being filmed the whole time.I realize in order to make these film one of the characters usually has to film everything going on. I just wish they gave a better reason why this has to happen. Especially later in the movie when they're running for their lives.Also, I don't like the whole you have to imagine what's going on while the characters are screaming like banshees. I want to see something "scary". Considering the budget apparently was over $300,000 you would think they would have been able to come up with something (how on earth this movie could have cost this much is beyond me). Finally, this movie has more high pitched screaming than any I can remember and man is it annoying. Near the end of the movie I found myself hoping they would get killed just to shut them up as I wished the movie would end. Brutal!
I usually don't do reviews. I read reviews and I give scores - but rarely make a review. But for this film, I just had to. The first 57 minutes, absolutely nothing happens.. You see them sit in a car talking while they drive. Then a car drives past them and slows down aaaaand drives past them again. They eat, and they move on - sooo back to driving and talking again. They come to the house - they talk some more and now drink a little - nothing else. And BAM 57 minutes has passed.. And what has happened? Nothing.. Then the narrative changes to the "bad guy's" camera as he films them doing everything we just saw earlier.. Just through a different camera... Some of the cast disappeared. How? No idea. Who took them? No idea. What happened to them? No idea. Really disappointing.. And why the f... does the bad guy make some weird clicking noise? Sounds unnatural, like he is supernatural/alien/mutant of some sort. But we don't know - 'cause we get told nothing.. My advise -> don't waste your time on this. Move along and find another movie instead.
As many of the other negative reviews have mentioned, the performances are really quite good. The concept is also interesting - an unidentified stalker filing the kids as they are filming each other. But I see two major downfalls in this film - one is the poor use of a terrible soundtrack over the last 1/3 of the film. It shouldn't have one at all (found footage, remember?) - and it's also badly done. WAY too loud, you can't even hear the dialogue through it. The other flaw is that too much time is spent on chaos without obvious cause. The group of friends start freaking out and running around too quickly, and then it just continues in that manner for what seems like an eternity. Of course, once everything falls apart, there's nowhere else to go.It's a shame. Wasted opportunity.
The acting is so crap. Who in the world did they cast for this? Can't seem to work out who in the cast is more annoying or who needs a slap more. Less is more people. As for the movie itself the plot is simple and undeveloped. The scares come but they are too few in far between, and there seems to be no rationale for why this stuff is happening. Apparently it took only 3 months to write and boy does it show. It wants to be Blair Witch (hence the plot similarities) so desperately but succeeds in only coming across as being desperate. Check out the website for this crappy film and you'll see how brainless the film makers are. Dominic Perez if your reading this don't bother making any more films. Your friend was right, making a inaugural film is reserved for people in their early 20s. You shouldn't have even bothered if you're going to make films as inept as this.
