Five friends head out for a holiday to a remote island off the coast of Ireland and visit an abandoned hostel. As the night draws in and they fool around with a séance, the friends come to realise they are not alone...

Another week another found footage horror. I'm a big advocate of the found footage genre, ever since the behemoth of The Blair Witch Project exploded onto our screens in 1999, we have had an abundance of film makers trying to emulate that films success.Many have nearly succeeded, like Cloverfield, P.A, and Skew to name a few, but there have been a plethora that have really failed to make the cut.And here is another example of a failing.So we have your atypical team of teens going away for the weekend to have a party and a something a little more spicy, but of course, we always have the one with the video camera, the one who knows about the legend of the house/place, and the one who for some reason thinks it's a good idea to do a Ouija board...And this is where the film fails, it never offers anything original, we just have our gang hearing very loud noises in the shadows, one swears that they have seen something, the others think that the party boy of the gang is playing a prank, and then they begin to get picked off one by one.The setting looks like an abandoned working men's club, the cast are your atypical unlikable group you can't wait to see the back off, and that's the film.It's boring, and even though it has quite an encouraging premise, the makers never really give the concept the respect it deserves.I'm sure I will trudge through more found footage films that are just as bad, but you never know when that gem will pop up next, so in some sadistic way, it's worth putting up with dreck like this.I'll suffer for you guys....

A film that lacks any form of substance is going to get a very brief review from me. This is another found footage film, a genre which I totally disapprove of.I can't even think of anything to say in a review as there really isn't anything to point out in the movie other than how crap it is. This movie is an hour and half of shaky camera work and screaming with all the actors arguing over the top of each other non stop. Its painfully frustrating. Its unforgivably awful. Think of all the time, effort and money the cast and crew could have been investing into other recreational activities instead of giving birth to this frightful abomination of celluloid.Why am I even reviewing this movie? Why am I giving it any more attention that I already did by falling into the trap of watching it!?

Horror movies are awesome and the ones that frighten you and make you sit at funny angles are worth they're weight in gold.There's a lot of rubbish out there believe me I've watched them all, I just cant help myself no matter how bad. Because of this that makes me a bit of an expert. So when I tell you ya must see it ........ Get on it. The characters are excellent the acting is quality I was sat at a funny angle for the second half. Not saying the build up was not up to scratch because it was it gets the horror going really well. I was forever stopping the movie and rewinding to see if anything was going on in the background. Deserves to be up there with The Blair Witch, Rec, Cloverfield and Evidence. All Fantastic FF horror in they're own right. A Must See for True Horror fans. 3:)

I have never before written a review for a movie. I actually opened an account on IMDb to write one for this movie. I gotta to say, with the amount of crap horror movies out there, this (considering it's a so called 'B' movie) is better than most I have seen this year and many more before that! From the off..(regardless what you hear about 'the slow start') it grabs your attention! It reminds me a little of Grave Encounters (but just a little mind you). This movie is on a whole different level. It actually scared the S*** out of me for most parts. Which none of the "Hollywood Blockbusters" have done for me in a long while. I will recommend this movie to any horror fan out there...WATCH IT!
