if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It’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.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

But why have such idiotic protagonists? For people trying to sneak up on and sneakily film a swinger's party, they make more noise than an Iron Maiden concert....this Lets the whole film down really... all the pissing about in the barn before the climax destroys the gentle momentum built in the early stages of the film. Waste of a Good, if unoriginal premise, Could have been so much better. Some nice bleak locations in Winter Looks like a lot of work went into the film but when they came to actually making it, they couldn't be bothered to see it all through and just wanted to get it done and (hopefully) count the cash. A brilliant turn as a vacuous celebrity hungry slapper by the stunning Natasha Sparkes who deserves better.

I'd say this was a pretty good film to be honest, not the best of course but good overall. Funny/annoying at the start & grim/scary at the end as to what happens to them! It brings a good build up as to what happens to them.The only thing that I didn't like was when they said it was real & several things didn't add up which contradicted this line totally. Such as follows:If this was real there wouldn't be any footage at all. The worshippers would have taken the footage with them so no evidence wasn't left behind & when the said "The Brotherhood have yet to be traced" how can this make any sense when finger prints could be found on the cameras of the so called footage which they the so carelessly left behind? It don't add up!!!"The parents have given their consent to show you what happen" Now we all know if your son/daughter was killed & brutally slaughtered in the footage (even if it was off screen) then you wouldn't want anybody else to see! Nor would you want it to be on DVD for peoples enjoyment as they wouldn't allow it.Lastly why would they have actors names at the top if it were real! They wouldn't give their names away either! So it's all made out to be real.It was good but thew whole "this is real" just contradicted the whole film!

All right, it goes like this: Three totally annoying idiotic British characters walk around thinking they are so cool and great. They have absolutely no respect to anyone, no survival skills, not even basic reasoning. They have only their Puma bags, glittering dresses, super big egos, they want "to be famous, to be rich, to kick some ass". So they have decided to put themselves in the middle of the trouble just for fun and that's all.I have felt some sympathy to the heroes of the most "found footage" movies, but this trio of imbeciles is just annoying. They can not even shut up or switch off their phones. I have wished so hard that someone finally puts them out of their misery! They have just asked for that. They have just asked for that.This is not a horror movie. This is God's punishment for their arrogance and stupidity. It is almost painful to watch the "fun and cool actions" of "the heroes" for the most of the movie but they finally get what they have asked for. So basically the movie ends well.The movie is not that bad but the characters are really super-annoying.

Well what can I say i'm one of those hardcore found-footage hounds and I wanna devote my time in reviewing films when I go to college.Let's start by having our three main protagonists of the movie: Nathan, his girlfriend Gemma, and his best friend Danny. They all wanna have a good time and they've told that in some area there's a local swingers party (kinki). For being so ignorant the three trespass and what though was to be a swingers party is a night of survival for three as they try to escape the grasp of a satanic cult known as Beelsebub. And they're all sacrificed as a blessing to Satan.My god the movie was good. But the majority of the play length is filled with long dialog but they somehow saved up the scary and intense parts for like the last 20 to 30 minutes of the movie.The atmosphere was really so awesome and the tension is really high. Some random pop ups but its effective. The auditory apartment fits in perfectly with the characters. The acting and the scenes are good not perfect but its fine.Overall, great film but if you're a found footage fan and want to be scared all night, then by any chance don't watch this unless you want to see something else before any new found footage horror film comes out.
