HeadlinesExotic Boring

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Andariel Halo This was a movie initially a bit difficult to get into, as it came across boring and the characters rather unlikeable in the opening several minutes. As such, I had started the film weeks ago, then given up and only re-watched it now.once it gets past its establishing period, it becomes shockingly fun. While the vast majority of the film is essentially filmed in night vision on a camera, there is very little that is hard to see and it's not at all difficult to keep track of the action going along.the plot is serviceable enough, in the form of an amateur documentary on people who claim to be real life "monsters"; a vampire, a Navajo skinwalker, and someone possessed by a demon. each one gets a brief interview segment, then Stuff Goes Wrong and the adventure ride begins.while filmed in a by now familiar style of found footage running from a demon monster thing, the use and constant interchange between three completely different types of monsters actually works in maintaining a vibrant pace without getting overly bogged down, while giving us some unique "fight" sequences with the different monsters.It all plays out rather like an adventure game, with each monster as a "boss fight" to be defeated in different ways, with the demon in particular being the most unusual of the group with a hallucinatory pseudo-flashback sequence involving one of the protagonists.rather than go through each "boss" one at a time, they end up recurring several times, often playing to their original mythos (as in, the Demon leaves its initial victim and possesses someone else, the Vampire gets killed but bites someone and that person eventually becomes a vampire later on).The movie began to slog a bit near the end, involving a twist ending reveal that in my opinion killed the fun of the movie, no longer indulging itself in various monster mythos but instead going with a familiar, bland Christian-centric Satanic rituals and talk of an antichrist. It all came apart around there, losing focus from its initial monster mash premise and going for something entirely different for its last 15 minutes

careyrhondak I thought it had some good scare scenes, although the character build up was way too long. I think the acting was fair, some were way better actors than others. It had some cool supernatural scenes, but in the end evil won. I was disappointed in that. I was hoping to see God and angels at the end, but no such luck. Evil exists, but so does Good. I felt tricked and let down, just like with the paranormal activity movies. Good stuff, but evil always wins. I think it would have been way better if Good would have one this one.

trashgang Mixed emotions by seeing the monsters. look, the first half is rather boring and even the interviews with the three monsters isn't satisfying. But I waited to see what the fuzz was all about and indeed, after half throughout this flick things go wrong.Is it original, no it doesn't because this is done years back when mockumentaries and found footage flicks were a hype. And yes, even here it's all shot in night vision when the creatures are awake.On part of the effects that is rather above mediocre. Clearly based on jump scene's. So for me it's a trip down nostalgia, not a good story and some moments even too cliché and even laughable but the last part makes it worth picking up.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

airsnob Classic example of a good movie gone bad because it had too much human ego involved. The writer wanted more out of this picture than it could give. He wanted a character study , a romance and a drama and found footage horror .. if that sounds like too much, imagine watching it. I was actually bummed because this could have been so good, if they had just stuck to found footage horror. It has great effects and a great plot. The actors are all talented. The production was OK too. The camera work was awful- they needed to clean that up , have it be more straight forward. But for what they were going for - found footage, this could have been so much better. Instead of doing what everyone else does at the end, have everyone scream at the top of their lungs and run around like chicken with their heads cut off. I mean this got so chaotic and bad at the end, the story just instantly evaporated and seriously all you hear for the last twenty minutes is incoherent yelling and shaky is a kind word for what the camera did. The camera work is so chaotic that it is pointless trying to watch it. They could have made such big differences if they had just allowed some actual attacks and gore to be filmed. It would have upped the horror really nicely. Again, a great plot gone bad. Which is such a shame. The end just seems like they ran out of money and got really lazy ... Where else it went wrong? In all the lame sub plots between characters , and as a consequence the characters themselves. I mean maybe with a better script they could have pulled it off. But the end result here is caricatures of identities. We have the junkie who hates himself for getting high ( even though that doesn't happen in real life. If junkies didn't suffer from major denial issue they wouldn't be junkies.) we have the bitchy ex girlfriend who everyone wants to sleep with except she is really not that attractive to warrant the attention . In real life, this girl would be begging for her ex back. We have the Dick jock who is alpha male ( they don't make movies ) and last but definitely the worst of all is the token black guy who talks like super urban kid and is named Jamel ( the kind of black guy that would never hang out with a bunch of white people and in fact, doesn't even exist to hang out with black people) So the movie was ruined by all the useless and frankly irritating character studies and dynamics of their lame relationships and stereo typical personalities. Guys- you should have just made a horror film. Alluded to the issues and kept it subtle and sharp. Also obviously you're racist . Would have helped immensely if the writer actually knew just one black man.
