Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Steineded How sad is this?

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

paulclaassen This was more disturbing than scary and one you probably shouldn't watch alone because of the unsettling premise. I found in interesting, albeit very disturbing, until the final twist, which ruined the film in a way as everything that happened seemed a waste of time (not from a watching point of view but from the protagonist's point of view).The film had some great scenes and also some scenes I simply could not watch.

Matt345 This movie was mentioned in a list of recommended scary movies. I guess this movie is quite scary, and also quite sinister, and while I would commend its little use of jump-scares, I would say it makes an even greater sin: trying to make things scary by loud sound effects and music. While those are themselves conceptually and technically commendable, I find it an equally annoying and silly tactic. Speaking of silly, the film's "boogeyman" looks just like some "evil" metal band member in face-paint. Which I find ridiculous. At least one sees him rarely and there are some other alteration-effects to his look.The plot contains some baffling elements, and the protagonist unfortunately, while at first seeming relatively intelligent, turns out to be quite a douche, in a gratuitous way. A scene where we see him in an old TV-interview (he's a True Crime writer) is almost like a parody-sketch of an interview. The plot is generally unexplained and things "just happen" from a day-to-day-basis, which makes the plot feel somewhat unconnected. Maybe to some extent this is deliberate, however the premise and other things could still require more explanation. E.g. of how the writer is in possession of all his research material, which no-one else seems to have seen (although he is not a very secretive person either), and he himself seems kind of slow and indulgent in getting through. Assuming to be able to solve a crime by just watching all the ritualistic murder videos seems also fairly contrived.A minor but consistent element of bafflement, and attempt to make things more scary, was that the protagonist, who almost always works at night, always leaves the lights out when he wanders around the house following some strange sounds, presumably to be more thoroughly surprised when he finds something or someone (it is otherwise pointless).

teddyeb Today you do not see a lot of murder tapes but these ones were the best.Pool part 66 was the most disturbing a family being tied to lawn chairs and puled underwater by an unseen figure drowning them , BBQ 79 had calm music and Lawn Work 86 was my favorite overall it had great music and had a jump scare.This movie is a very gripping , dark and suspenseful movie and the other 2 tapes were Sleepy Time 98 which had a family and dog and the unseen figure did not kill the dog but killed the family and Family Hanging out 2011 was a classic murder tape.

jerralagbayani This movie was so disturbing I can't even watch it again!!! With the scenes of the tapes to the curse, Mr. Boogie is probably more scary than the Nun. It's the thought of how terrible it would be if those tapes were real. Every tape just seemed too real for me. I give it a 6/10 because I can't watch it again EVER. I'm being serious I may only watch it again if my friend coincidentally has the movie.
