Expected more

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Bad found footage from the Philippines 2003...although could have been filmed anywhere. Susan (Anne Gauthier) brings her fiance Ken (DJ Perry) home for Christmas being celebrated in remote Sagard. Loss of power, table moves, spell book, snake cult, people die, terrible footage, worse acting. All filmed by candlelight. Where do they get those candles that never go out or shrink? Not worth the effort. Guide: F-word. Sex. Partial nudity.

Nothing to say... Sorry, waste of time and for me it's not possible to give a vote even if it was possible to give -10 it's still to much. minimum length for review is 10 lines... :-/Acting very bad, after each kill 2 minutes cry and back to the coffee table as if nothing happened.Special effect? Where were they and if they where there I think in the 70's they were a lot better!Interacting with each other... Sometimes it looks like every "actor" was talking to a green screen if every scene, per person, was made separately.Acting:- Music:- script:- camera:-

I don't know what the other reviewers are drinking or smoking, but this movie was bad, bad, bad. Don't waste your $ and your time. This is my first review and I signed up on IMDb just to warn you.It was bad directing, bad acting, bad conception, absolutely the worst found footage flic I have yet seen and, as you know, there are a lot of bad ones out there.If I were in a position to do so, I'd can this film to prevent anyone else from wasting money to see it. I cannot for the life of me understand why the other reviewers thought it was so great unless they are related to the director.

Approaching this film with the doubts I've come to view almost all "found footage" horror films, I was truly amazed with this entry. With the exception of the Paranormal Activity 3 and 4, all the found footage movies I've seen in the past year or two have been awful. But this film is different. Even though the directing is about what you'd expect in found footage stuff (actually a little better than PA), the writing and acting are awesome. After a brief section introducing the family members and friends in the story (with some nice humor), then the action really rolls! Once things get moving, there's hardly a stop to catch your breath from then till the end. Just the ending in itself will leave you breathless. The characters are well made and acted, so you really do care about them and care what happens to them. Every family has its "skeletons" in the closet, so if you come from the average family, you can relate to the characters here. If you see any found footage horror films in the next 12 months, make sure it's Paranormal Activity 4 (and 5?) plus this movie!
