ShangLuda Admirable film.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
falexandrou The movie was awful. We're talking about a very low budget movie, with no scripts and the worst cast ever. The guy who plays Al Brondin or something, is English but can't be convincing as an English man!!! The girl who plays Jessie Saint Claire, wears a wig and it's so fake. I think they bought it from a Halloween shop. Concept was kinda catchy but it was so poor, that i think even the director wouldn't watch it. It was very obvious and the end was like every other movie that wanted to be different. The director followed the "great" recipe that demands actors that can't act so that the cost is low but they're hot, so that the audience is happy. I'd never accept this movie as a thriller. Music was a big failure too. Thrillers should be all about atmosphere and music. This one suffered from the lack of inspiration. This movie sucks big time
eye-sea Ever since Blair Witch Project, movies with little or no plot use a documentary style to fill up the 1 and a half hours, or so, they're given by the film company.This piece of trash is no exception. It starts off well - the first five minutes a teeny bit scary-ish - but then drops into this very tiresome documentary mode, full of crap interviews, laced with painfully unfunny "humour" and "wit".The guy hosting the documentary is annoying enough with what sounds like a fake British accent. And the make-up sucks. He's obviously heavily made up to look like someone he isn't. Maybe perhaps a spoof on a real TV news host! Who knows! And the character Jesse St Clair, played by Rachael Leigh Cook, wears this badly-made blonde wig that's obviously too big for her head. The sets, the script, the plot, the make-up department, not forgetting the embarrassing acting, all make for a movie to avoid at all costs.I had to steel myself not to get passed the first twenty minutes without whizzing through to the end.Dire. Zero out of ten if I could give zero. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with a one!
travis-j-rodgers Tells the tale of group of news crew members who stumble on to a string of murders that are related by the fact that the murderer seems to be stalking and recording his victims prior to slaying them. I won't spoil any more of the movie, but I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by this film.This movie does precisely what a thriller ought to do. It builds slowly, occasionally relieving the tension, but only momentarily. The high point of the tension is surely the conclusion, and it seems to provide the movie with some replay value. I had no complaints with the cinematography nor editing. The acting was at least adequate, with Elwes being quite funny and dynamic (as opposed to his recent performance in Saw).While there are no scream out loud scary moments in the film, there is a strong sense of tension that builds as the movie progresses. Definitely worth a look. And while I don't work at a video store like the other reviewer, I do rent a ton of films, including the obscure films. This is far and away one of the better rentals.
billyfish Well, I joke, but this really wasn't that bad of a movie, especially in the made-for-TV market. Cary Elwes' performance alone is worth sitting through the film. His quirky, neurotic documentarian wanna-be character is fun to watch, and you spend the first several minutes saying to yourself, "He looks a LOT like Cary Elwes, but..." The rest of the cast is solid if unremarkable, and the scenes that are supposed to be creepy are indeed so. What I liked about the ending was that it didn't tie everything up into a neat little package and drop it into our mail slot as the murderer did with his videotapes. The only thing you're sure of at the end is who WASN'T the murderer, because all the prime suspects are either incarcerated or dead...or are they? It's a fun twist on the murder mystery, with stories within stories, and the whole thing framed by documentary-style monologues and interviews.
