Meadowoods (2010)
In a sleepy and uneventful small town, three college students, bored and desperate to make their mark, plot a savage and merciless murder. Electing to keep a video journal to memorialize their bizarre pact, they plot in secret, devising a homemade death chamber that will allow them to see, hear, feel, and linger over their intended victim's torment and final moments of life. Then, chosen at random, a fellow student becomes this victim when she is to receive perhaps the most brutal and horrifying of all fates. The default leader of this macabre trio directs the physical and psychological terror, even as contention and hostility within the group threatens to jeopardize their twisted plan, culminating in a violent and chilling conclusion.

How sad is this?
Brilliant and touching
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This movie shows how college students are today. It portrays the intellectual aspect of what plotting murder is. Whats it like to die? Whats it like to watch someone die, and Whats it like to take someones life? Plus the acting is by far the best I have seen in a 15,000 dollar movie. They put heart and soul into making this movie and they got their point a crossed. It goes to show anyone can kill in a heartless manner to know what its like.It also shows how ad they wanted to be something but how far would you really go? I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a psychological thriller into the unexplained mind of our generation today!!
It was something different thats for sure. Reminds me of Peeping Tom where the killer is making a movie of his victims while he's killing them.In the movie 3 kids that are bored with their normal life in this small sleepy town decide to plan and commit a murder by choosing a random person and putting him/her in a box and burying the person alive(with cameras,microphones and speakers inside the box of course). It seems like a really low budget movie and is also apparently the first movie for everyone in it, so you can imagine it has it's flaws. Anyway the acting is surprisingly good and the plot isn't as bad as you might think(its certainly something I haven't seen before). I've heard people complain about the same things that people always complain about with mockumentary horror, which is there's "too little happening"(there's actually a 5 minute section of total darkness and mostly just screaming and shoveling noises) but I think it just helps to build up suspense and adds to realism, although I understand the criticism. The movie is a little slow but I had no problem watching through and thoroughly enjoyed it. Recommended for mockumentary fans and anyone who wants to see something different.
This movie was one of the worst movies I have ever wasted my time on. If you pick it up in a store, put it back fast. It is absolutely terrible and I cannot believe that someone actually wasted money making it. The acting is terrible, the story is terrible and it actually contained nothing but a black screen near the end of the movie. Had to listen to the victim and watch a blank screen for 10 minutes straight. It makes you wonder what the hell was going on in the mind of this director and also, where in the hell did he get these actors to play in this incredibly boring film (if that is what you can call it). It would be more entertaining to sit at home and watch reruns of Lassie. It is possibly one of the worst movies ever made.
This movie reeks of Cloverfield, that movie whose main star was a Sony Handicam with an apparent thirty-six hour battery life. Shot exclusively from the cameraman's point of view, this film documents three students who plan on murdering someone at random. They film the commitment, the planning, the purchasing of materials, and each others' comments about life, death and other things.As the movie progresses, the three characters fight with each other, get drunk, talk, talk, talk, yell at each other, and talk. When they finally get their target (a music student), they continue to talk about death, about life, and little int he way of the reason to kill her, other than to give their town a wake-up call.The movie slowly progresses and when it starts to get good, it stops. They finally get their target out in the woods, threaten her with a gun, force her into a box that's fixed with two cameras and a light, and then the video goes black. The target lady is in the box screaming, for ten minutes. Ten minutes. Then it ends in a blurry quality of an amateur camera operator. Granted, this movie is supposed to be taped by a film student, but there were a lot of off-camera action we didn't, or couldn't, see.If you really have to see this movie, get it from the Red Box or add it to your queue on Netflix and watch it on your laptop.Kind of confirms the notion that Hollywood doesn't try very hard these days.
