Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

TheRedDeath30 I really wanted to avoid writing the same review that many others, both professionally and on this board, seem to craft about this move. Inevitably, most people's opinion of this film boils down to whether you agree with some of the directorial choices made in the development of the film. I wanted to approach this from a pure point of view of "quality" and whether I enjoyed the film or not, but in the end all of those other questions come down to that main question, Ray Wise or not Ray Wise?I don't think I'm spoiling anything by saying that this is a "mockumentary" presenting itself as almost real documentary. Adam Green plays himself, following a nutball around who honestly believes that he's found real monsters, which Green reveals is his real life pursuit. At first, following the character more for the laugh value at his belief, then getting serious when they realize he may be presenting more truth than they care to know.The problem at the fore of this theme is the use of a well known actor, Ray Wise, as that nutball monster hunter. The movie really struggles to find its' identity in the play between Wise and Green. Any attempt to properly "hoodwink" the audience into believing there may be some "Blair Witch" kernel of truth to this movie is thrown out of the window when a known actor shows up in the proceedings, playing an over the character. Okay, then. I can accept that as a viewer. We're going to go into mockumentary of faux documentary territory, then, right? We're going to have fun pretending this is real? That would be true, if the remaining performances weren't so freaking terrible. The extended cast of known actors and directors, playing themselves, are so wooden and rehearsed as to be awkward. The main performance by director Adam Green is never believable enough to feel authentic, or crafted enough to feel like a well- acted role. It ends up feeling like what should have been a clever internet short, rather than a full length movie.I love the idea of using Pardee's art as inspiration for a NIGHTBREED-style film stocked with a cast of interesting monsters. What could have saved all of this was to give me some great monsters. All of this critical debate over choices probably would have been secondary had the movie given us some real horror to chew on, but I never really felt a sense of suspense building and the monsters themselves were few and far between, seen only in fleeting glimpses that offered promise, but no real reward.I found myself walking away wondering at the film's intentions, like many. I really can't understand what they wanted to do with the movie and feel like, ultimately, they didn't either. The movie appears to be a compromise between two roads they could have taken and choosing neither led them nowhere.

crdnlsyn13 What an imaginative original concept! Thank YOU As someone who frequents conventions, both Comic Book, AND Horror/Haunt conventions, I was happy to see familiar faces as part of this movie. It lends to the legitimacy of the story. I wish Adam Green would read this, because he totally nailed it.I wish more writers and directors and producers had 'vision' and 'passion' to create something new, as opposed to remakes and rehashes of other peoples works and concepts. I love this documentary style film making, twisted into something out of nowhere.Great Job!!

robertka1 This movie or documentary or whatever you want to call it is genuine, plain garbage, and I am being very kind. Very, very kind. From the get go, Adam's behavior betrays the whole thing. Whatever is said or discussed, whether serious or supposedly funny, Adam (director??) has got a constant and extremely annoying grin stuck on his face. That takes away any semblance of credibility. This whole thing is most definitely not a documentary. It is simply someone trying to pass a home-made movie into a fancy thing which it is not. We were a group of about 12 people watching this thing and, without fail, gradually, every one started talking about other topics and no one continued to watch it. I am surprised that this thing is even listed on IMDb. I gave a rating of 1 star because there is lower rating available. What a disgrace when someone tries to pull the wool in front of your eyes and miserably fails. Too bad Ray Wise was in it. He must be biting his nails for accepting to appear in this home-made movie. A word of advice to Adam Greene "Don't quit your day job!"

mikevonbach Com'on fellows this was--- How can i put this a bad film . It had no climax i't just continuously kept spinning me around waiting for it to make a point .Like that old dead or alive song YOU GOT ME SPIN SPIN BABY LIKE A RECORD BABY SPIN SPIN SPIN SPINNING LIKE A RECORD BABY.
