But as we enter a new age of online TV the producers find themselves up against a new hard edged web series which makes their show look decidedly quaint. It's time to up the ante, but will the team go too far this time, and are they about to prank the wrong guy?

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
adonis98-743-186503 A group of people run a TV show where they set up locations to scare people. Things go horribly wrong when the producer wants them to get darker as they set up an asylum to spook the new target: a creepy guy who used to work there. Scare Campaign is another low budget horror flick with lot's of gore that feels like it was made by a 9-year old and believe me it feels like that. (0/10)
Darkwalker173 The premise was interesting, the script started out strong and had me thinking that I had figured out what was going on quite quickly until there was a twist, but from that point on something was off with the script, disconnecting me from the previous flow of the film, and the ending, though the writers thought perhaps would be cool or leave room for a sequel, was annoying. The acting was average as well, though I did like Ian Meadows in this. All in all, an average film, that in my opinion, missed the mark to being a good one by very little. I would say it's worth watching if you have nothing else to do, as I can think of many movies that are worse than this one in the same genre.
Seth_Rogue_One Who doesn't love a good prank gone wrong video? Where a pranker is acting like a douchebag and finally gets what's coming for them?And here we have in a sense the movie version of just that (except more extreme of course as it is a horror) so this should technically be right up my alley.But it just didn't quite hit the right mark.First of all it's a little bit too silly at times, especially in the first half, where as I think it would have worked much better if they took a more serious approach.Don't get me wrong I don't mind a good horror-comedy, but if the comedy is not funny (as in the case of this) then I prefer it to do more of the former than of the lesser.Especially since the actual scenes of horror were fairly well- orchestrated and it had some cool twists.The acting could have been a bit better as well, but partly of that could be because of the direction.Had a look at the directors' resumes and it turns out that they directed '100 Bloody Acres (2012)' which I actually thought was stellar, and that was a horror-comedy as well... So it is a genre that they can do well in, in this it didn't quite come together though for some reason.
riko442 This isn't just a horror movie, it's a criticism of modern mainstream horror which is build on cheap scares, lazy writing and production that sells to masses. Brothers who made this film know the horror genre very well, know what it does have, what it needs and what it lacks. Through witty humour, parody and well working eerie atmosphere they tell the story of two generations trying to come to compromise- old, build on atmosphere and the second one, build on shocks, gore and viral marketing. In 80 minutes, you'll encounter fear, dread, laughs, twists and parodied situation we all hate in haunted house and slasher movies.It's not just great horror movie, it's also well established criticism of now-day's horror and not just that, they are not two old grumps, they also celebrate our generation's horror as well. Nicely done fusion of two generation with one pinch of criticism. And to that reviewer bashing the open ending... they did it on purpose, the whole movie was build on it.
