This is the first film I've watched in a long time that I kept checking the run time to see when it would finish. The only reason I watched it all the way through was because I'd spent so long watching it and waiting for it to get better, I thought I might as well see it through to the end.The lead female character, Jill, is incredibly annoying she literally says nothing of any meaning throughout the entire film - just nonsense and clichés like at one point while driving pretty aimlessly around Los Angeles, she says, "This is where all the stars go to die.".Apparently, her boyfriend (behind the camera) is an 'artist' and he's doing an 'art project' which basically involves filming Jill acting dumb and being totally 'edgy'... Her idea of edgy being stuff that we've all seen before (and probably done before too).It's a boring film. If you're looking for something similar, but better, watch Grave Encounters, or even Grave Encounters 2 - both are extremely similar in location and theme and, although they were also filmed on a low budget, they're far superior to this nonsense.I've given it a 3 out of 10 because the acting isn't the worst I've seen, it's just a bad script, annoying characters and a dodgy plot.

A girl is interviewed by the police. He mentions a tape, that her boyfriend is dead and that two others are missing.And now we get to see the tape. Basically a guy films his girlfriend at all times. She's a painter, free spirit, fun-loving, wild and very cute. We follow them one day as they mess around, go to a coffee shop, into a store, then drive around as he shows her a place that could be used for a fancy art exhibition of her work. The place is an abandoned hospital. She of course rushes in through the fence and goes inside. He's reluctant but joins her. And of course everything seems fascinating to her. Incubators, children's toys, old beds. She gets on one and he restrains her. Then he leaves here there for a good while. A ghost appears and enters into her of sorts. At some point she starts bleeding profusely out of her nose. As they leave, he car is being towed so she calls a friend. A couple arrives. They of course wants to see the place. So even though the girl was freaking out earlier now she goes back in. They start tagging the walls. This new guy is a complete jerk and a bully. He even has a gun with him and gets very touchy with the girl even though his girlfriend is right there. They separate, run into each other again. Our first couple meets up, discovers the archive room and she finds some tape and a file and starts bleeding again. Meanwhile camera guy finds a room with cameras and sees what actually happened to the other couple and why they are missing. But his girl flips out once again. At the end we get some more background story of the place and its patients.sxtape has one big advantage over all other crappy found footage tapes. It's centers on an attractive girl. If you are going to make a lame POV movie, that's what you want, your camera on a pretty girl occasionally in erotic situations. And this movie for the first half hour is fun and entertaining. But from there it goes downhill when the other couple arrives an we get nothing but abusive and obnoxious behavior. While the background of the hospital and the patients is interesting enough the movie unfortunately settles for psychological terror, which is never particularly scary let along interesting. A decent effort to rehabilitate the dreadful POV horror subgenre that doesn't go far enough.

O.K before anyone else thinks about renting/watching this movie a word of advice there are plenty of decent movies to rent better than this pile of hot steaming mess...o.k lets break this down for what it is one of the WORST found footage movies ever made.stupid plot, retarded lead female actor and one of the dumbest ending i have ever seen..for the 1 hour and 24 mins this movie runs for there is plenty of better things to do or see.whoever wrote the story must have been sniffing paint thinner or some heavy duty solvents because the story is so stupid.any reviews that say this film is good are utter nonsense this is one of the most boring, dumbest films ever.would give it a 0 if i could.Don't WATCH THIS TRUST ME ITS THAT BAD.

I love any and all things horror and found footage stuff is always worth a look for me. Since this was free to watch (look around), I figured I would do one of those 10 minute run throughs. Watch the first scene, fast forward looking for good parts, back up if I hit one, and then watch the ending. I ended up watching the whole damn thing. Quite liked it. It's no Grave Encounters, but it's worth a watch for sure. 9 times out of 10, if the IMDb reviews suck..they're usually spot on. Completely disagree here. Some of the bad reviews seem to be from people who don't even like found footage in the first place. Not sure why they posted here. I'd definitely recommend it though. Good stuff. Rate it 8/10 on a horror movie scale.
