everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's one of the most original films you'll likely see all year, which, depending on your threshold for certifiably crazy storylines, could be a rewarding experience or one that frustrates you.

I ADORE the opening of this film....and then we are thrown into that awful, extended, whining and sobbing interrogation with the main guy and the cop. O-M-G that annoying sequence could have been cut down by a third and still made sense. I love films that mix the use of traditional cinema and found footage. This one does it ...ermm...kind of well. My only issue was that when it switches to FF it was so ugly looking and sounding. We get it, it is supposed to be video camera footage, but we are still watching a movie and want it to look decent. No one believes FF is real anymore, I wish filmmakers would stop spending so much time trying to make it seem real. Overall, this is a great popcorn flick. I recommend.

Moving into a legendary house, a group of paranormal investigators attempts to cleanse a legendary haunting while the police investigation looking into their actions try to find out the truth, and once it all comes together they realize the truth about what happened and try to stop it.For the most part, this one wasn't as bad as it could've been. A lot of what makes this one work is the fact that the initial story and setup of the house itself has a lot of stellar history involved. Not only given the newspaper articles that go into detail about what happened, but the opening attack featuring the police investigation of the accident gives this a solid opening that not only gets this going nicely but gives a rather strong foundation to this one which is nicely carried out by the dual story lines running throughout the rest of the film. With the flashback feature allowing this one to run the investigation angle at the end of the happenings while having their encounters shown alongside this, there's a lot of fun to be found. The setup of the troop inside the house where slowly things become quite extraordinary and managing some subtle spooks with the video evidence turning up the moving objects on the walls or broken light sources that fail to work properly moments after working start this off rather nicely, while the concurrent investigation piecing everything together solidifies their activities nicely by being as wrong-headed in their resolutions as they eventually end up being. Since the flashbacks have everything which includes objects bursting into flame, sending people flying across the room or suffering from actual physical trauma gives this a lot of room to play with throughout here as well as the seance sequence which sets into motion the final half which has some rather fun times here. These here make this one a lot of fun although it does have some pretty big flaws to it. The film's biggest problem is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of interesting elements present as this one goes through the rigors of the familiar haunted house tropes frequently, giving this a routine appearance for the most part. There's a rather familiar feeling here that makes the film feel routine here with the way the concurrent investigations are handled which are all apart of the way the police investigation is handled, making for a rather familiar time throughout here since this one force along plenty of familiar elements due to this feature. Likewise, the idea of the multiple finales makes no sense and tends to drag this one on endlessly since there's a lot of rather strong ways this one could've ended yet the fact that there are just all these twists piled on makes no sense as for why they're all included here. These features here bring this one down somewhat.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

A group of ghost hunters visit a house where a séance happened that resulted in a few deaths. The paranormal investigators decide to do another séance which turns out to be a bad idea.This one opens up with the police arriving on the scene of what appears to be a bloodbath. One survivor is found and the police begin to question him. The story is told through flashbacks leading up to present time.Fast paced, keeps you hooked and loaded with jump scares. Bonus points for not being a full blown found footage flick. I would sum this one up as a Unusual Suspects meets Ouija. Worth the watch.6 birds flying out of your mouth out of 10.

Come on now. Personally I've struggled to find ANY found footage movie interesting but I do understand some like them & I admit i have reluctantly admitted to liking a couple of special additions to the genre (not the popular ones tho). But the whole thing is getting out of hand now. Just having a bunch of out of focus, badly lit, jerky video snippets of doors slamming, staircases, torch lights & screaming faces does not make for a great movie. It's time directors of horror flicks stopped cheating viewers with this cheap gimmick. I really wanted to like this movie but I gave up half way through. I already knew from the start that most of them got killed coz in addition to tedious found footage camera work we get even more tedious "earlier that day" footage after all the bodies are discovered at the beginning of the movie - so there goes the suspense/intrigue/anticipation. THe only mystery left is who did it and is the final person still alive but since you get no real sense of who they are or why you should care anyway you end up well.... not caring. So the movie has nothing about it that drew me in or made me want to spend any more time getting through to the end. It was a chore so I stopped watching. If this sounds like how you like to spend your time tho, by all means have at it.
