Invoked (2015)

Boring

Absolutely Fantastic

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

A film that lacks any form of substance is going to get a very brief review from me. This is another found footage film, a genre which I totally disapprove of.I can't even think of anything to say in a review as there really isn't anything to point out in the movie other than how crap it is. This movie is an hour and half of shaky camera work and screaming with all the actors arguing over the top of each other non stop. Its painfully frustrating. Its unforgivably awful. Think of all the time, effort and money the cast and crew could have been investing into other recreational activities instead of giving birth to this frightful abomination of celluloid.Why am I even reviewing this movie? Why am I giving it any more attention that I already did by falling into the trap of watching it!?

Don't bother. Seriously, you've been warned. We bought this for Halloween night in. What am absolute crock of sh*t. I can only agree with the review left be Cody Stafford and wish I had seen that first.The cover and summary on the DVD suggest level of horror and a story that is simply non existent. The content consists of five stereotypical friends. Predictable behaviour and lots of irritating dialogue. I vaguely recall a ghost appearing in the last 10 mins of the movie but by that point I had pretty much lost the will.Just don't.

OK, i'm gonna try to be objective about this film.The only thing i save from this movie, is the acting. They do their job very well. But even that can't save this film from being a waste of time.Like usual, the people who commented and rated this film are sure related to it. It is sad, because it has a potential to be a good film, but NOTHING happens in the first 45 minutes. There's no tension, suspense, nothing.Some effects are OK, however the "scary" scenes are so fast that you don't even have the time to understand what you just saw. Big mistake over there.The editing is poor. There's like 30 min (after the movie really begins at minute 42) of shaky camera and dark images where you can't see anything.Believe me, this is nothing like the Blair Witch Project. It's just another found footage, that could have been decent.The 3 points go for the cast.

Bets horror found footage ever They're usually always bad, but every so often a little gem manages to float to to the surface of the quagmire. Invoked happens to be a good one, a very good one, in fact Invoked is an no-budget effort but Rosa and Mendes have managed to make the most of their location, while also throwing in a few CGI effects to add a supernatural quality to the film's finale. This Irish horror hits all the right marks – and it's one of the best found footage films since The Blair Witch Project hit screens at the end of the last century. This is definitely worth a look for horror buffscentury. This is definitely worth a look for horror buffs.
