Wonderful character development!

Best movie ever!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I was searching for a horror flick in the mood of "Soulmate", "The Last House on Cemetery Lane" and "White Settlers" and came across this little gem of a found-footage film.Well aware that there's always a good chance of being let down when trying to find a decent horror movie, and a little discouraged with a couple of the reviews, me and my boyfriend decided to go ahead and watch it anyway. The good reviews were uplifting.Movie starts with one of my favorite horror movie scenarios - couple moves to old house far from people. This time as a house swap where the main couple come from LA, USA to the countryside of Glastonbury, England to work. It is filmed as the video diary of a screenwriter and his musician girlfriend, and it's actually pretty convincing as such. Their work getaway starts off idyllic, but soon they realize everything isn't as it should as strange things start to happen in the night.The movie manages to keep the tension throughout the story, and there were several occasions where I wanted to hold my hands up ready to cover my eyes. So if you like atmospheric indie horror films and the found-footage genre (this is one of the better in the genre, IMO), you should definitely check this out. You might be surprised!

This is one of those fantastic films where very little happens but the suspense of waiting for something to happen is by far easily enough to keep you gripped to edge of your seats or in my case my girlfriends arm.despite the poor acting policeman ,all acting is brilliant and really makes it feel real as its not typical Hollywood overacting.the tense music and self shot wobbly footage in dark areas was so scary we went and bolted our front door.I've seen entire horror franchises,Halloween,Friday 13th,nightmare on elm street,paranormal activity and thousands others and only as above so below in recent times has really scared me like this did.i generally look for films with bad reviews on certain sites just to try them out and so far enjoyed most heavily criticised movies yet hated all the award winning over praised Hollywood trash like frankenweenie,gravity,19 years a slave ,all sin city style films and other rubbish like that.i prefer gritty indie realistic films whatever genre.if you don't watch it and your a fan of horror then your not really a fan of horror.don't expect much action,its just tense suspense,and the ending was a huge let down but otherwise almost flawless and perfect as a film.

If you are looking for a slasher, this isn't for you. But if you enjoy a taught, psychological approach to horror, this should be right up your street. OK, the 'found footage' format is a bit tired these days, but judging by the date this movie was completed, it seems to have been conceived around the time of Paranormal Activity's success, and should have been released before the slew of crappy 'found footage' movies I've had to watch since then. The male lead is a cocky type, shooting his own home movie of his experiences, and the female is a doll fast losing patience with him. In these terms the performances of both the leads are convincing. There are enough scares along the way to have the girls in our home squealing with fear, and there are a couple of pay-offs in the end that had me jumping, and I'm the kind of person who usually laughs off supposedly scary horror movies. Definitely worth watching, but it shouldn't have been released with an 18 cert, as it is no gore-fest.

This is a great film !! best horror film in ages. The house is amazing- a creepy old place in Glastonbury that makes a perfect location for this house swap. I really like the way the storey is told through the eyes of the police putting the CCTV footage together.-clever. The acting is superb and the storey moves at a great pace with the tension building and building all the time. The music and sound effects also add to the feeling that this house is not a good place be! Some of the effects are brilliant and some scenes will have you jumping out of your seat. It really is a classic film with a great original plot that has been sewn together masterfully. I highly recommend that you check it out.
