Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The audio is so horrible it is unbearable. This movie is literally impossible to watch. Not because of the footage.... but because the audio of the movie has white noises and garbled sounds purposefully inserted into it to give the impression it is found footage from messed up cameras. Why didn't someone in the sound department tell the director how bad of an idea this is??? I had to turn the volume down almost to the point where I can barely hear the film because randomly unbearable loud noises would appear out of nowhere. This is ridiculous. 18 minutes into the film it is the worst audio I have ever heard in a movie, PERIOD. But then 2 minutes later it actually topped itself with even worse audio. WHY?!? Oh my God this is atrocious. This is egregious to the art of cinema. Manos Hands of Fate sounds 10x better than this movie. Can you imagine??? Wow. I hate to be an extremist with a 1/10 rating when clearly the video is good (except for the random video artifacts that are also inserted to give the impression the cameras are messed up), and the story is good too! And the male lead actor genuinely seems like an over-the-top angry perverted murderer. But the audio in this movie is so horrible this movie deserves the lowest rating possible. 1/10. HORRIBLE!! Make sure your TV is turned down if you watch this movie or else you might blow your speakers and destroy your equipment.
What can I say? I went into this not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. The actors that play the husband and wife are pricelessly funny and charming. The action, or violence, was...'censored'. By that, I mean that the knife wielding and punching and choking and other acts of violence looked very staged. Though they blurred the 'nudity', they goofed. You could see the flesh-toned underwear the actors were wearing, which completely spoiled the shots. The husband reminded me of a low-rent Christopher Meloni, and the wife was vapid but smart at the same time, almost like a Stepford wife. The extras, who played the victims, were well done, and the story was interesting. All in all, a good view.
OK, so...it's an interesting film. The actors that play the couple are pretty good, they definitely appear eccentric.My gripe with this film and why it gets a low score is the god damned garbled 10 times louder junk sound that plays when a specific camera is on.The film claims to be a film edited together from a bunch of found footage by an actual film maker so it just really grates on me that this supposed film maker would just leave this ridiculously way way louder noise in, like, he wouldn't turn the noise down or just cut the noise out because you literally can't hear ANYTHING that isn't this garbled noise. I am aware that this isn't a true story and that it's meant to feel like found footage but just.. WHY?!
A perverted couple try to produce their nightmare home-movie, featuring the murder of three lost souls.Wow. Far from perfect, but the degree of perversion is extreme. The couple are well played, but it would have been better if the actors learned their lines then ditched the script and riffed off each other - instead the characters are intimate but a bit stilted, and I guess having the writer/director in the lead role broke the rhythm. Script-wise, the end is nice and ambiguous, but the emphasis should have stayed with the couple to round out their story.There is a huge mistake in the coyness over sex - some directness was needed - even one intense scene would have done the job. And some opportunities for disturbing gore were turned down. So another barrier for the audience. I guess that's why so few horror fans took notice.This is a POV cam film (not much shaky stuff) so bear that in mind. Editing is good, pace good, and it crosses the line in a brisk 73 mins. Mood claustrophobic, music is barely noticeable, sound mostly natural, but maybe too much scratchy interference in the effort to create unsettling atmosphere.Overall, a weird and interesting exploitation film that held itself back for no good reason.
