That was an excellent one.
... View MoreAll that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
... View MoreIt’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.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreNot too bad I guess. For some reason, I really like found footage movies, but I do have one question. Why are the detectives watching "tapes" when the footage was all shot on digital hard drive cameras? Did someone take the time to transfer all of it to VHS?
... View MoreThese sorts of movies are just crap, if you gave 1000 movie cameras to 1000 monkeys you would have 1000 movies as good as this one or better.
... View MoreTHE LEVENGER TAPES is yet another BLAIR WITCH rip-off with no sense or style of its own. The whole film is a pointless bore, treading water from beginning to end while offering nothing in the way of pay-offs or incident. The protagonists are annoying characters, all of them, and certainly folk who you won't want to spend an hour of your life in the company of. The dialogue is poor which makes me suspect that most of it was ad-libbed. Little happens until the climax, by which time it's all too late, and the slow pace makes it a difficult film to sit through.
... View MoreAbout the millionth "found footage" film about who knows? This big old turd gives you characters who have the personalities of a fence post and the screen presence of a turnip. I did not care for ANY of them. In fact, it would have been fine with me if the guy would have died immediately, he was so obnoxious.After stealing liquor from a store, having an accident with another vehicle (I think...), and going to someone's cabin (natch), the drunk guy decides he has to apologize to the guy whose car he side- swiped. And for those of us who have been around drunks, he's going to apologize come hell or high water. Thus the three leave the comfortable confines of the cabin to run around in the dark, magically disappearing and then reappearing--never remembering what happened. The entire "plot" (and I use that word here very lightly) made no sense. Most of film involved two girls screaming at god knows what and supposedly the "ghost" of a little girl who is all grown up now. Rated R and not recommended.
