An average movie

After hearing not so many good things about this flick, I wasn't expecting much but my kids were keen on watching an horror flick so we ended up wathing this. Personally, I always had a weak spot for the found footage genre. Indeed, I loved 'The Blair Witch Project' and I enjoyed both '[Rec]' and 'Paranormal Activity'. However, after watching this flick, I now understand the whole fatigue concerning this genre. First of all, the reason why they choose this directing style is pretty obvious. It is really cheap ass. Furthermore, it is quite usual that they use non-professional actors making the whole thing even less expensive. So, all those aspects were present here but two things were missing, originality and cleverness. Indeed, except for a few creepy moments, it was pretty tedious and really uninspired and all these flaws were even more obvious with the ending. Many criticized this ending and, indeed, the makers pushed themselves into a corner and it was indeed pretty underwhelming. To conclude, I don't think it was really awful but it was definitely pretty weak and I don't think it is really worth a look, even if you love the genre.
