Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
FlashCallahan 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....
kylejcustodio As soon as you meet the main characters their personality becomes apparent. Personality is singular because they all have the same one: annoying grade-school child. from the start of the movie they are constantly talking, playing stupid jokes and laughing at butts several times.The plot is not surprising in any way. If you've seen any ghost story plot this one is not much different. The only difference between this and a ghost story is the character development they borrowed from slashers, by having the characters annoy each other as well as the audience as well as getting drunk and high which never should be mistaken for characterization. This movie was agonizing and the only reason why I watched it all is because I never ended a movie early before.
jcamacho-35733 OK, i'm gonna try to be objective about this film.The only thing i save from this movie, is the acting. They do their job very well. But even that can't save this film from being a waste of time.Like usual, the people who commented and rated this film are sure related to it. It is sad, because it has a potential to be a good film, but NOTHING happens in the first 45 minutes. There's no tension, suspense, nothing.Some effects are OK, however the "scary" scenes are so fast that you don't even have the time to understand what you just saw. Big mistake over there.The editing is poor. There's like 30 min (after the movie really begins at minute 42) of shaky camera and dark images where you can't see anything.Believe me, this is nothing like the Blair Witch Project. It's just another found footage, that could have been decent.The 3 points go for the cast.
thayane_franca Bets horror found footage ever They're usually always bad, but every so often a little gem manages to float to to the surface of the quagmire. Invoked happens to be a good one, a very good one, in fact Invoked is an no-budget effort but Rosa and Mendes have managed to make the most of their location, while also throwing in a few CGI effects to add a supernatural quality to the film's finale. This Irish horror hits all the right marks – and it's one of the best found footage films since The Blair Witch Project hit screens at the end of the last century. This is definitely worth a look for horror buffscentury. This is definitely worth a look for horror buffs.
