What a waste of my time!!!
Mabel Munoz
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Melanie Bouvet
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Seen a trailer for this while watching another straight-to-DVD film some years back & thought the concept to be quiet interesting. I mean, I'm not a big fan of found footage, but this one grabbed me & I had to put it down on my watch list!The film is about a plane which crashes into a government testing facility due to turbulence experienced in the flight prior, to which we also learn that it is new years day! Of all days, this happens & the plane crashes in of all places on of all days! Typical, but hey! It works!Anyway, they crash, survive & happen to be in a government testing facility where these "creatures" lurk! Now through all the bitchin' & moaning you get in this film, the Blair Witch style of film comes in. Moaning, screaming, complain & bitchin' seems to dominate this film over 85% of the time. It gets on your nerves so much so that just want to get on with the film & get to the point.Although you see quick glimpses of the creature, or whatever it is, you don't see anything other than the group screaming & yelling 85% of the time, its annoying & then comes the end which wasn't too bad, but not much of a twist! It was actually disappointing! The effects of the dinosaur were terrible & simply unimaginative!Sadly , not great, despite its concept! 3/10

I've read some pretty scathing reviews about Tape 407, so I naturally didn't have many hopes for it. Plus I'm getting as sick as most horror fans about the amount of 'found footage' films that are being churned out. This is one of those 'Blair Witch' movies filmed from a single camera all the way where you constantly shout at the screen "Why are you actually filming all this?" We know the 'first person' gimmick is just a way of filming on the cheap, but, if you can get over that here, it's not quite as bad as people are making out. Not quite.Perhaps one mistake was making the camera-person a sixteen-year-old American girl from L.A. She does tend to shriek quite a bit. However, her shrieking is soon drowned out by everyone else. The plane she's on crashes in the middle of an American military testing base/desert and the survivors end up getting stalked by a load of monsters.The film also leaves you a bit shaken due to the excessive shaky camera-work to go with the shrieking. All in all, it's a tough watch, but it's not all bad. Some of the characters are actually quite fun to watch - the air hostess is believable and passenger 'Charlie' is wonderfully annoying, making you just want to strangle him.However, and I hope this doesn't count as a spoiler, the opening test card to the film tells you that this footage is 'found' therefore you don't have to be a genius to guess the ending. The ending. The ending has left a lot of people cheesed off. Anyone who was enjoying it up until the end feels like the film-makers used one too many clichés to be believable.Yes, for all its - many - flaws, I did sit through it and feel I didn't entirely waste an hour of my life.I can't bring myself to recommend it, as it's clear that the majority of people didn't. However, I think there will be a few people out there - like me - who at least saw SOME good in it.

After viewing this film I find terribly bad. I give it 1/10. The story is ridiculous and makes no sense. The girl has a voice more annoying it would shoot willingly. Is this also a tanning voice in the English version?No doubt that was "inspired" by "The Blair Witch Project (1999)." But this "inspiration" is that of a Neanderthal.Somehow by cons there is something real: today's generation is that of cameras. And this generation prefers any film, for example a person doing burning, and "share" it with his "friend (s)" that put the camera aside to help.Hey look, the guy next door is burning. And the friend replied: Cool!Today people love to be filmed from every angle and in the film this gang of idiots are normal to be filmed every second. By cons, if I had to live such a situation a long time ago that I would have committed one or more murders. Finally, all those who hold a camera would not stay long in life.Ah yes. There will be a sequel. And we use this time "Google Glasses"! Wonderful!I like to listen principle all movies until the very end as a poorer one. But I must admit that it took me a week to watch it in full as this movie is crap!Hard to imagine that in 2013 we do the "tricks" as bad. The people who made the film have never seen blood for real, otherwise there would be less red on all the faces of the "actors." What "film" ridiculous. Kids 5 years with a camera can do better!The sad thing in this film is that the camera batteries, held by two idiots did not stop after 1 second filming!PS If you love throwing, this film is for you!

After surviving a plane crash and landing in a strange facility, a group of people find themselves stalked throughout the area by a ravenous creature that's part of a government testing operation and must find a way to get out alive.An utterly annoying and aggravating found-footage film which really goes to show that this is a genre which really needs to go away and quickly with an endless series of useless and quite terrible ideas on display that are only possible in such a film. As with the majority of these films, the fact that there's very few times where, realistically, a person would be filming in such a situation really destroys the credibility of the film as who would be concerned about filming when a monster's attacking members of their group or making sure that the person who stumbled and fell gets back to their feet, and at one point even doubling back to grab it after being left behind are just some of the pointless scenes on display here, and then it contains all the usual trappings of the genre with an inability to focus on anything resulting in tons of blurriness throughout and shaking camera scenes that are really annoying. The lack of explanations don't help, and it's not until the end that anything gets resolved at all, and with only a few genuinely creepy and suspenseful moments brought on by it's action-packed second-half, there's not a lot to like here.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
