Overrated

not as good as all the hype

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

FF horror tends to get standard low ratings, people probably like movies shot as commercials better. For a FF horror flick this one is pretty nice, not many dips, kept me engaged right until the end. Acting could maybe have been better but hey, its low budget after all.

It is a boring carbon copy of so many movies with this plot and Horribly done. This German version seems it was just made for that' Germany 'with stealing every Part of the movie Paranormal and other video documentary style ghost movies and worse than that doing a poor job of it. Mostly a sit and squirm movie that will put you to sleep in your chair or more conveniently a couch when you do fall asleep. Very little of not happens and when it does it is petty crappy. Not even worth a view on a slow night. Generic and anemic and just plan Boring !

There is very little that is original or exciting in this film. It's a standard modern-day haunted house "found footage" style horror. Some of the spooks amount to silly jumpscares, some of them provoke laughter at how silly they are, and some are so incredibly subtle that you would never even notice if you weren't actively looking for something out of the ordinary. The characters are fine. The setting is fine. There's a decent enough backstory to the old castle, and all of it is clear and evident and predictable. It still manages to be fun and oddly entertaining. It tries nothing new and gives nothing new, and by the first ten minutes or so, you're well aware of this and thus have the opportunity to bail out early on without wasting much of your time.The only major complaint I would have is that every single instance of spooky jumpscare or ghosty activity is preceded by very loud and very noticeable on-screen static and video distortion. It makes an already predictable moment even more predictable.About the only thing memorable for me is this film is German and I do not know German

Like the others, I've seen my share of found footage films. Despite the Netflix rating of 1 star, I gave the movie a whirl. It was not terrible. I don't mind subtitles, so that aspect of the movie did not bother me. High marks for setting and location, one of the key elements that pulled me in straight away. The acting was good for the most part and the pacing worked fairly well. As for the negatives, the most common of all flaws 'why don't they leave' jumps out. The writers attempt to quell this by portraying the main dude as being so passionate about capturing proof of the spirit, but it doesn't fly. They get their proof early on, yet continue to tempt fate. No one, not even an entire professional crew would have stayed beyond the initial incidents. Also, I realize conflict is the secret ingredient, but to have the main guy accuse his buddy of trashing the place (as only an evil entity would), after having already witnessed multiple paranormal events, was ludicrous.But enough of the negatives. All in all, a decent attempt at horror, some creepy camera captures ala 'Paranormal Incident', with a few twists.
