I get what they were going for here, I think, but the reviews claiming this is wildly frightening or ingenious are nuts; this is an interesting premise executed by mediocre actors without having thought through the premise to anything intense or exciting. I watched it because I watch everything horror, but I wouldn't try to sell anyone who wasn't a hardcore genre fan. The main characters aren't particularly likeable, and the scares are fairly pedestrian without establishing either something viscerally or existentially disturbing. The only other point I'd make is that the "found footage" thing is a little goofy because SO MANY CAMERAS that it comes together as an edited film.

It's In MemoriAM. With an "A." Seriously, somebody should have caught this. An actor, a tech, an editor, a producer... SOMEBODY. If you can't spell a word, it probably isn't a good idea to use it in the title of your movie.The movie gets points for containing some truly creepy moments, but the premise is weak--is there something unique about this sort of cancer, that documentation would be of use to posterity? is it a life insurance thing, proof of illness, SOMETHING? anything? any reason at all the cameras are on except to make the movie?--and the last ten minutes undo just about everything. I won't say WHICH iconic horror film this particular movie takes its ending from, but it's pretty much a direct rip. If you're unfortunate enough to go ahead and watch this thing, you'll see what I mean when you get there.Again, some half-decent weirdness here and there... but overall it's pointless, unbelievable, and generally not worth your time.

I'm usually not one for a film I would call formulaic, crap like the J-horror rip offs or stupid gore fest revival makes me gag. But this movie, well, I have never seen an audience jump and grab onto each other like they did in this one. For an indie movie made in the director's own house (yes, her own house), the acting is pretty good, the camera work is impressive and the pacing is excellent. The complete absence of a score makes this even more all to real. Had the chance to talk to Amanda and she is not 100% on this film getting picked up and released, but I hope for the sake of all of you out there it does, you will love it and it will haunt your dreams for days.

I'm not one to usually give cheesy analogous one-liners, but "In Memorium" is a surefire mixture of "The Shining" and "Blair Witch Project".Director Gusack creates a film very much in the vein of "Blair Witch Project", and from the get go there's this sense of pure dread and impending doom that's presented with a stark gray ambiance. Director Gusack has a handle on characterization, pacing, and story and takes a tired concept adding a wonderful air of originality, unease, and suspense. "In Memorium" is an intense simplistic piece of the horror genre.
