Jesus H Christ what a shit stain of a movie. Where to begin? Well first off all, there are probably 1 or 2 actual jump moments, and even those aren't all that grand. Other than that there's nothing, and i mean NOTHING,interesting about this movie. Well maybe the girls tits.
The premise is that Katie has been haunted all her life by something, so when the hauntings start again, her boyfriend Micah decides to buy a camera and document everything that happens to them.
The problem with the movie is that nothing really happens to them. They argue about the camera, they argue about whether they should get help, they go to bed, they get scared by thuds and doors slamming, repeat ad nausea until you're almost begging for them to just die already.
The male lead has atrocious dialog and delivers it even worse. You ever watch a POV porno, and the guy totally ruins it by talking and talking and the more you listen to him the softer your cock gets because it's clear he's a functional retard? Ok, now stretch that out over an entire movie. There comes a point about halfway through the movie where the tedium of listening to the guy makes you hate the girl, because anyone with half a brain would just fucking get rid of him. She cries, she yells, he tells her it'll be ok.........she relents. Rinse and repeat. It's a fucking chore to watch.
Now then, the big pull of the film are the supposed frights, and as I said, there are a couple of jump moments. But just like the horrible repetitive dialog, there is a repetitive setup to every jump moment. Once you've seen the first one you know when all the other ones are coming, you're just waiting for it.
The idea of the camera and all the footage being found is interesting, but by the 3rd time they react to what's supposed to be a frightening situation by grabbing the camera you just wanna strangle them both. It doesn't take long for it to become more of a detriment to the film than it is an asset to the scares.
Rotten Tomatos has this at 85%. I am so past perplexed that I can't even imagine what these people could have seen in this movie not just to give it a good rating, but to find ANYTHING good about it.
Believe me when I tell you this, the scares aren't there, the story is not there, the acting is not there, there is nothing there. FOR THE FUCKING LOVE OF CHRIST THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE IN THIS GOD DAMNED SHIT FEST OF A MOVIE AND WASTE OF 90 MINUTES.
