I have mentioned in my other reviews that found footage isn't my favourite in the horror genre only a few I liked, but I feel this one is too cliché and predictable. It flows of many other similar style films.Saying that is does have a few good things going for it, the lead actress is very attractive and the couple had a very wild side which maybe could of been explored more? Its only when 2 new characters were brought in the first half hour was okay.So the plot.., We start of seeing a woman being interviewed by detectives explaining her partner has died, then it shows Los Angeles artist Jill having her life videoed by partner Alex, the couple have a very sexual manor and nothing is too extreme. Alx tells Jill he has the perfect place for an artshow, an old institute for bad women. Wanting to look inside Jill goes in and find some disturbing things. Regardless of what they found Jill straps herself to a gurney and Alex insists on making a sex tape... After jokingly leaving her for a few minutes it turns to disaster an angry ghost unknowingly takes over her.This is when the movie goes downhill... the couple leave after being shaken up but bump into friends Bobby (a flirty womaniser who wants Jill) and his partner Ellie. The film turns into more macho trying to get Jills attention ignoring the fact shes possessed.The ending isn't so bad I wont give that away but I guess that makes the movie somewhat redeemable

You have no clue why other people hate it - well, again, it probably means it's one of ten movies you have ever seen and this one was the best. No shame in lack of experience though, I guess.Enough of the cruelty. The movie stinks - of boredom, nonsense and drivel. If this was the very first FF movie ever made, then maybe it would have stood the test of time, but this being 2013, well it's a no go to anyone that admired the first Blair Witch Project or The Last Broadcast. This one here, ladies and gentlemen, is a failed student project. But the blonde chick was kinda hot. Crazy, but hot.
... View MoreSo my girlfriend and I decided to give this one a shot because we are fans of found footage horror movies and really liked the Grave Encounters movies. We didn't expect too much from this movie, and that's about what we got. To sum up sxtape quickly, just imagine Grave Encounters...now remove all the parts where stuff actually happens, and you have this movie. Firstly, having only 2 characters for the bulk of the film really limits what can happen, especially when the story and dialog are as horrendous as they are here. The characters are not developed whatsoever and I feel like they act in completely random ways during the events of the movie and I don't get any kind of definition as to their character or personalities. The setting itself is great, but highly underutilized. Once again, we have yet another movie in an abandoned place where the director expects the location to carry the movie and make it "creepy" and "unsettling" by default without adding further elements to conjure those moods. So, we're left with a movie that mainly involves two people walking around in an asylum (that was performing lobotomies in 1982 apparently! to hell with sense. oh and the water and power still works. suuuure) and talking about random stuff (sometimes sex, sometimes "this is weird we should leave...but let's stay for some reason"). I didn't get the feeling that there was anything beyond a very loose story arc for this movie (there is going to be a boring intro, a "creepy" overly drawn out mid section, and a brief & very predictable climax). There was some stuff that happened, but there was no particular purpose behind any of it and none lead to any significant developments. One huge flaw I found with the movie is that any time a scene starts to pick up - you hear something in the distance, ominous music starts to play, some ghostly voices echo in the background, the cameraman starts to run...OK this is about to get good...and then, bizarrely, the camera shuts off and comes back on a second later in a different location where nothing is happening and nothing became of whatever situation was about to go down. This completely kills the mood. I have no idea why this "technique" was used over and over throughout the film but it made it a chore to sit through, since any time you think something is about to happen you are jarringly let down. I think there is also a plot about ghosts or something, but it is never fleshed out, nor does it have much bearing on anything that happens other than to provide a boo scare or two.Ultimately, this is just a bland attempt to follow in the footsteps of movies like Grave Encounters. Not the worst thing ever, though not particularly worth watching unless you absolutely must see every found footage horror movie out there.
