Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
mrmay-48013 Actor/actress can only perform as well as the director will let them, with that out of the way, i felt the director was too anxious to create suspense. the constant length of focus during each event only made me want to leap through the film rather than sit through the scenes. hopefully a remake will be in the near future creating a more dramatic approach to grab the viewers into the movie
snickers-09844 This movie had a good story line going for it. I can't say that it's "unoriginal" because the events occurring in this movie actually happened. But as soon as the movie started, I could tell it was going to be bad. The acting, to start off, is by far the worst acting I've ever seen in a movie. It's almost as if these people acting in the movie were strangers picked up off of the street. Not only is this the worst acting I've ever seen, but considered that this was based off of the true story, the plot doesn't make sense AT ALL. How does it expect us to be able to fallow this bad acting when the plot is equally as bad. The only reason that I picked up this movie was because I wasn't thinking straight when at the rental store and though that it was related to Annabelle. As I got home though and put the movie in, I remembered the back of the disk case and that I had heard this story before and still thought this was going to be a good movie. In the end, I'm glad that I rented this movie and can just return it tomorrow. I do not whatsoever recommend buying or renting this movies unless you just want to waste your time. But if your into really bad movies, go for it.
Stevieboy666 Two "comical" paranormal researches "borrow" an apparently evil, possessed doll called Anna. When I picked this DVD up from the budget section of my local supermarket I thought it could only be a mediocre "Annabelle" rip off at best. Oh boy, was I in for a shock! I'm all for low budget films & there are some very good ones out there. But this looks & sounds like it was shot using a mobile phone. The script & acting is awful, save for Kristin Cochell, who does an acceptable job of playing a witch. There are a few jump moments but the film's attempts at both horror & comedy just fail miserably. The special effects are rubbish too. This film may have worked as a short but at 96 minutes it really is a horrible ordeal. I only paid £2 for my copy. I certainly will not be keeping it. Don't waste your time or money.
Holly Yates My experience with watching this movie was a pretty bizarre one. It is played out like a straight up doll themed horror yet there are some scenes which have comedic elements when it comes to dialogue. It leaves me questioning whether this is a horror-comedy or not.This is what I was thinking about the two main characters (who are friends, not brothers as the back of the DVD tells me): Imagine two people, who at times acted like they came straight out of a cartoon, taking a wrong turn and ending up in a horror film and occasionally bumble around trying to figure out what to do or how to talk their way out of crazy situations (i.e. The bar scene and the Satanic ritual scene). These two also follow the brainy friend/goofy friend schtick. Understandably, they act this way purposely as part of the plot involves stealing the doll, Anna (or Susan or Suzanna according to the paranormal museum owner) and using her to make a series of vlogs to record any paranormal behaviour she may exhibit during the week they plan to keep her for.Now I have that off my chest, let's move onto the positives and negatives I have:NEGATIVES: Dialogue audio at times is extremely poor and noticeable. Though there are a few scenes where it fixes itself only to go back to distortion and static feedback (there is one scene in particular where it's clear and crisp with one person talking but with another it's bad). Like what you hear during a low connection Skype call.In the first half of the movie, there is an excessive amount of stock sound effects used to the point where it becomes increasingly annoying to hear. The biggest culprit being the same creaky door sound playing at least ten times on a loop. It does halt as the movie goes on and it then gets replaced by dubbed in heavy breathing, pants and grunts during the more suspenseful scenes.The majority of the dialogue at times is cringe-inducing, especially during the more comedic moments.POSITIVES: Aside from cringy delivery and poorly performed screams, the acting is so-so. The only credit I can give for a halfway decent performance is Justin Duncan who plays Jacob. There was a scene where our two leads are arguing in the middle of the street after running away from home and this was where I thought that Duncan's performance in that scene alone proved to me that if he was playing a more serious role in another movie, he would've done pretty well. The only time he really faltered were the supposedly unintentionally comedic moments in the movie. The two leads, to me, sounded like they were better off doing voice acting for an internet cartoon series since their character's personalities seemed more suited in that category.Overall, I can say that this is all baby steps for this independent movie. Horror-comedy or not, I'm still keeping hold of my copy.
