Good concept, poorly executed.
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

View More"13 Cameras" was actually not half-bad for a fundamentally found footage flick up until the end, where you would think it would be at the best this caliber of film is capable of.The final scene with the Igor-like character (who is so cartoonishly creepy it is farcical and would have been much more frightening had he been played as a seemingly regular guy) and his new running mate, while desperately intended to shock and shake us, is as repugnantly barbaric as it is indefensibly inexplicable.Oh, and one more thing young not-too-with-the program couple. What have we learned from these last few moments of this most distasteful experience? That's right.If you haven't already, NOW would be the perfect time to get out and introduce yourselves to your neighbors.
... View MoreWhile the movie itself was great, especially considering the point the move is trying to depict is spot on. It overall was a very well rounded movie. I cant bring myself to give this movie anymore than a 5 as the entire movie was making me very angry and the ending of the movie I wanted to scream. You would think after watching through the entire movie some justice would be served. But guy just walks freely and it burns at me deep inside that I actually watched the movie in full. I personally hate the movie as a whole. So as the film produced was great in the sense they did exactly what they were trying to depict in the film. I just cannot rate this movie over a 5 for the simple reason that I absolutely hated it.
... View MoreI'm not normally one for calling a movie dumb, but where this picture is concerned it's a word that practically leaps out at you in every frame of this poorly constructed piece.A young couple awaiting their first child rent a house from Gerald (Neville Archambault), a grotty foul smelling man who has secretly installed cameras so as to spy on his new tenants...OK! Ignoring that upon first meeting Gerald a sane couple would run a mile - because with that there's obviously no film - but what we are asked to digest from that point on beggar's belief. How are we meant to react to a couple (and a film maker) who find a locked secret stairway only for them to not give it a second thought for the rest of the film?! It's actually insulting. The dumb set-ups and that of the character's behaviour continues unbound right up to the ridiculously staged finale. As for the acting on show...It's a big chance missed for something genuinely unnerving, maybe even for a bit of cerebral social commentary. Avoid this if you are looking for either of those things. 3/10 for a toothbrush scene that will either make you squirm or laugh in equal measure.
... View MoreA young couple move into their new home but their new neighbour takes prying to a whole new level. This film isn't going to win any awards for originality but it isn't a bad film for its genre. Neville Archambault is perfectly cast as the ultra creepy landlord. In his case you really can judge a book by it's cover. Although the pacing is maybe a little slow and repetitive it does at least build up the tension with a couple of really well done and creepy scenes. The film never really goes anywhere but the ending at least tries something different. This is just an OK film nothing special but not terrible either and being pretty short maybe worth watching once if you're at a loose end.
