LouHomey From my favorite movies..

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

alsation72 A family celebrating thanksgiving are interrupted by strange goings-on: the power goes out and a strange other-worldly craft is sighted. This film has some genuinely creepy moments as the space invaders start infiltrating the house and knocking the characters off one by one.The camera-work is fly-on-the-wall as the situation unravels, a few people also appear as supposed analysts to the filmed event which adds another dimension of reality to it. Really none of the actors can be faulted.At first I thought this was a blatant rip-off of Blair Witch, but then noticed it was a year older.It's pretty creepy ... you might find yourself checking the windows and doors.

patbutcher187 This is without doubt the worst film I have ever seen, I cannot believe so many people have rated it so highly and said it was scary... It is gash! The "acting" was beyond belief, I have seen better acting from kids wearing rubber helmets doing drama at special school.By the time the film was over I genuinely wanted to inflict an eye injury to myself using a spoon to ensure I would never see this horrendous film again.The fact it tries to make out it is a true story makes it even worse, it's not bad enough that it was made and released onto the world like an unwanted STD but then the writer tries to insult our intelligence by claiming it is genuine. I hope he falls onto a spike.

NeverAgain85 Caught this on Sky Sci Fi/Horror movie channel on night. A good movie for what it is really. But what slightly bugged me about it was that the acting was just like watching and episode of an American soap opera, the direction of the acting was going through also. A happy American family is portrayed on screen through the style a la Blair Witch (However didn't this come before Blair Witch?) Anyway, the problem is I don't know what people are saying that it looked REAL when this is obviously far from the truth. First off, the acting is not the type of acting you would expect to see at a thanksgiving dinner through a camcorder. The actors are behaving like it is a movie with awful clichés when it should be portrayed as REAL life acting especially if we are to assume this is actual footage of a real tape. The acting is mediocre at best when it comes to this movie. What the director/writers should have left out was the sudden interruptions they made during the movie having brief interviews with a cop, a rock star abductee, and a scientist giving their thoughts on the "Found" Footage. Pure Garbage in my opinion.However, having said all that, it didn't ruin the movie for me that much. It was in fact enjoyable. What made this movie great was the aliens outside the house and telepathically messing with the families minds, and causing them to suffer from nosebleeds and burns on their backs,and having all the electronics in the house go haywire and having the young girl only barely touching the keys on the piano, making the other family members think she is actually playing the piano, we the audience only notice this however through the camera. A few eerie scenes made me say "this is crazy" a few times, which I loved.Seeing this now, it reminded only a small bit of Paranormal Activity,set in a house giving it a kind of claustrophobic sense with bad s***t going down. However I wont compare it to it that much, this was obviously way low budget, and way back in 1998 especially. So I wont compare it to Paranormal Activity really except for the house setting through the camera. Overall, a decent movie. Just ignore those stupid actors in the "Interviews".

kdnor2011 Before the blair Witch project, three other films made movies that looked like home movies. One was Cannabal Holocaust, which I never saw, the second was the last broadcast which was pretty boring, and the third was Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County, which was great. The plot involves a family named the Mcphersons, they are about to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, when the lights go out. Three of them go out to fix it, and what they find is something that could change our world forever. I won't spoil any more of it, you really should watch it.It's creepy, scary, and unique. Though it isn't the most realistic of these camcorder films. But, when you think about it, none of them really are.
