This is a horror flick, taking the road of a fake documentary (mockumentary) that's all about the plot.The whole thought put into making the overall Marrow structure kinda amazed me. While watching, even though you're not thrilled or anything, you're deep curious to know what's going to be the outcome of all that.Acting is regular, nothing special. Also, I liked that they went down the practical effects road. Even though it's pretty obvious that the effects are cheap, I like that feeling you get while seeing someone in rubber costumes and go full "aaah, practical effects all the way"! (It's way better than seeing bad CGI).There're some jump scares here and there, but that's about it; it's all about the story indeed.

I'm a little torn on this one. On one hand it's very well made, everything looks very authentic. Well, except from the fact that one very important role is filled by a rather well known actor. Because you see: this is made like a documentary (mocumentary if you will), and it is very well made. It is pretty believable and "realistic"-looking. Alright, you get that this is a scripted movie, but you sort of forget it from time to time, too. So good job on that, movie!I didn't find it scary, and there are not that many parts that are meant to be scary either. But I would still have liked a little more horror. As a matter of fact, the parts where stuff goes down, I think they could have been a lot better. Seems kind of random.Most of the cast plays themselves, and they do an overall good job. To sum up: nothing great, but a pretty easy watch.

Jesus! I was dumb to enough to watch this movie as of 25/3/15 cause it was 6/10 stars rated.What i didn't look into was the age of people that voted. Yeah all under 18. No i wasn't expecting that this movie was going to be something good, just something to watch and eat pizza, but now really, this is the WORST movie i 've ever watched. Boring boring boring..... Really boring..Nothing happens the first 60minutes, and then the last 30 minutes you see some not B not C but some D quality monsters appear. No its not the low budget, its the lack of creativity that destroyed this movie, and of course the director or talentless actor or writer or whatever he thinks he is. If you are going to watch it, just find the FF key on your controller.

Horror is my favorite genre of movies, unfortunately for me, because there really just aren't that many good, watchable, horror movies produced and released - by watchable, I mean it holds your attention enough you WANT to see what happens, and you're not just watching it because you don't want to turn it off (which I've done, a lot) halfway through because it sucks so bad it just isn't entertainment, it's torture. (An idea for a horror movie maybe?Torture as in strapped to a chair and made to watch horrible horror movies with your eyelids taped open) This held my interestenough to watch it straight through, mostly because certain scenes had great potential, but it was never realized. There isn't any gore, but there really is a creep factor - the "Monster Hunter" comes off at first as an eccentric man, perhaps a bit (well, a lot) fixated on the subject - the 2 guys who are making the film are believable, and play themselveswell. The idea behind it is kind of cool, but there just aren't enough scenes (none, really) that will make you jump out of your chair, leave the lights on when you go to bed, or make the hair rise on the back of your neck. It's a watchable movie, certainly worth the $2.99 rental on Amazon, but not good enough to see in a theater. The ending of the movie had some good potential, but, it ends with lots of unresolved questions. Bottom line: Unambitious, had a lot of unrealized potential, but it still entertaining. Don't rent it expecting to be totally freaked out - it just really isn't that kind of movie, but interesting enough to sit through. The film makers give the impression that they couldn't decide how to end it, and as a result, it had potential to be great ending, but they just didn't flesh it out enough. I like indie horror movies - some are awesome - WER, an indie flick, was one of the best werewolf movies I've seen in recent years for example, but this just is middle of the road.
