Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

aubie84 You have a choice in life- Get attention by hard work, seek positivity, overcome challenge, achieve life satisfaction... Or- This, needing attention by shock, negative posturing, and wallering in weird, base-need mindlessness- This film is an attempt at the latter and, like cult member insecurity behavior, they take peoples money to scare them as if they are now important, accepted and part of this club, new fetish, or documentary... Waste of time- Transparent in the intent, and insults the minds of productive, thinking humans. Here, sign my paper. Pay me your money... Boo- thanks. The 'scary' part only -is that people actually buy into it and can't think two steps ahead. Go to a haunted house?... Watch a horror flick?... See a Dominatrix?... but This is pathetic- I really tried, I strained even to get any smidge of value or understanding- but No- sad to watch distorted people with weak minds pretending to want to belong- Not sure which is more sad to watch- the dweebs (actors) paying to have weirdos scare them... Or the BOut guys taking these peoples money, filming a shake cam videos, and exploiting these troubled, psyche-dim participants- to make more money selling the silly process as a documentary? Too close to call-

milo_is_here Just a note to anyone interested in this movie and the previous reviewer....this IS a REAL documentary. This stuff really did happen and is happening. These are real people who were part of some of the experiments.It is not a 'so called documentary'....it IS a documentary. After all that though, I didn't like it. People who like this sort of thing may find comfort knowing they are not alone and there is something out there that can cater for them.

Rødskjegg The so called documentary feels fake and is boring. When something does happen it's way too dark and shaky to see anything interesting. None of the subjects felt compelling or real and lack motivation. This movie takes itself way too serious.The only redeeming factor is that is shot somewhat nicely.Oh and that 'secret' survivor group that's willing to be on camera, come on...

Ryan Manley The film is very well made. This director knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat and take you deep into the minds of the people involved in the documentary. I happen to know about the haunt, so the film didn't really scare me, but if you haven't heard of Blackout, just watch the movie and you will be shocked. It is 100% real, and the documentary is very well made. The surprising thing about the documentary, isn't even necessarily the few glimpses that you see of the haunt. It is the people who go through it and let it become and addiction... basically an obsession. Blackout really knows how to get into people's heads. They are very good at it! I loved it!
