I don't understand the bad reviews of this movie. It wasn't predictable. The music was great and perfectly timed. The acting was great. Especially Leonard (the clown) who was such a comedic relief and so likable. The ending scene was done so well, I was stunned and had to rewind it so my husband could watch the last 5 minutes with me. Of all the horror movies I've watched (and I almost exclusively watch horror films), this one actually scared me even with the comedic breaks. I think anyone that gives this less than a rating it deserves is either not a horror fan or doesn't appreciate a stunning piece of art like this is. Definitely a 10 and though I don't buy movies often, I'll have to purchase this one!
... View MoreOne of the worst horror movies I've ever seen and actually it probably is the worst horror movie I have ever seen! I was very close to turning it off a couple of times which I never do so I forced myself to keep watching. Thankfully it is not too long. I knew I would not like this from the start based on the filming style which was Blair Witch style with the annoying shaking camera. However I could not believe how bad this was. Nothing is clear on the indoor house scenes and the outdoor scenes with the Clown guy seem totally pointless. The very outset of the movie does show promise for originality but it just goes nowhere and the acting is very poor also. So bad its almost untrue so don't waste your time!
... View MoreThough low on gore and shock value, this film actually exceeded my expectations on great scenes that kept the hand-held recorder believable without being blurry or shaky. The character development wasn't the strongest, but the portrayal of the fairly one- dimensional characters was spot on by the actors. The final scene and the way the plot threaded through the three perspectives was for me very successful. Those who enjoy the psycho-thriller genre should enjoy this film! The only really disappointing thing about this film is that there were not enough of the "clues" and contraptions by the people setting the entire game up. I also would have enjoyed some exposition about whether this game had been played previously by the antagonists (no spoilers) or if this was the first iteration of this game. I really enjoyed the "clown, family, girl" motif and if a sequel were to come out where the dynamics of the plot shifted but with the same motif I would surely watch. Overall, a very well done film that met the expectations it set up.
... View MoreWhat a mess from the director of The Strangers. Keep filming or someone will die, the film actually has an interesting plot and concept but sadly turns into a mess with its ridiculous ending and an insult to the audience The SCARE here is similar to The Strangers and some of the scenes are quite effective and intense in delivering that but don't go in expecting any GORES here. The film starts out pretty interesting and engaging but gets more tiring as it goes and ends with a hugely unsatisfied and stupid twist. Overall, this is one of those found footage films that fails to deliver its premise and enough thrills or scares and is ultimately just a waste of time. >>C-<<
