| User ReviewKyle Mfor a B class horror movie, it was pretty good |
| User ReviewKera Wif you enjoy the paranormal activity movies, this is a must see. |
| User ReviewKyler CFound footage film cheep graphics feel like it could have done better but overall good back story and I like how they based it off of an American legend and that it was based off true events |
| User ReviewJack AThis movie used witches as an excuse to cover up the fact that they pretty much copied every aspect of Paranormal Activity. There was one part that truly terrified me tbh, but other than that, it was pretty much full of predictable and basic scares. There were also many events left unexplained. Plus, the ending was bad and cheesy. |
| User ReviewEd COne line summary: Found footage death elimination derby; camera quality better than some other found footage disasters. --------------------- The Robertson County Sheriff's Department (in TN, I think, rather than TX or KY) has a short segment where they say they found some footage from the cell phones and video cameras on or near the Sawyer families corpses. So, we are locked into 'found footage.' Later on in the film the cops called to find Dana Sawyer refers to himself as from Adams County PD. Brandon gets a video camera as a birthday gift. He starts annoying everyone immediately. He records some poltergeist activity in empty rooms, but never seems to notice this. He records a whole lot of other things that get ignored. The daughter has terrifying dreams. The lights flicker; the electrician they call gets electrocuted on an outside junction box. The son and his friend find some history of the county which includes the Bell Witch. As it turns out, the house and grounds intersect with the land owned by the Bell Witch. As time wears on, the family dies except for one. --------Scores------ Cinematography: 4/10 The usual mix: anything from shaky cam plus bad everything all the way to full-lit, beautifully framed and focused. The long intervals of static shots of empty rooms were not a plus. Sound: 4/10 Varies, just like the visuals. Some of it is really poor, where words are hard to figure out. Acting: 2/10 More or less at reality-TV level. The exorcism scene just sucked rocks in terms of acting. Screenplay: 2/10 Nothing new. Perhaps 10 minutes of content stretched over 90 minutes of bad visuals and iffy sound. |
| User ReviewDavid TThe quality of this film's poster/box art is just about equal to the quality of the movie itself. What starts out as a surprisingly decent first half quickly turns into a mind-numbingly tedious and horribly acted second half. Another found footage film that expects us to believe that there would be horribly cheap video fx trying to recreate camcorder static and an ominous musical score backing the tapes that were found and seized (and publicly mass-released) by the US Government. My eyes literally hurt from rolling them so often while watching this movie. This is nothing but more bottom of the barrel Redbox garbage, but if you have half a brain you should (hopefully) be able to tell that from one quick glance at the inept box art. |
| User ReviewCourtney Kok, the concept was interesting, and this adaptation of the bell witch legend had some chilling shots. the scariest part of this movie is that appearantly, this area of Tennessee is where everyone carries there own personal cameras and documents their lives. The electrician wad a little far fetched, but who carries flashlights with cameras attached? According to the father they are "up to their eyeballs in debt", but he can buy his son a state of the art video camera (only it looks like something from 1970), and the son has 6 security cameras with night vision capabilities just laying around. it started out as a B rated, T & A horror flick with the kid living his life through a video camera apparently obvious to all the weird stuff he is recording(ah...he must not have time to review his stuff), then tries to become a combination of the exorcist and the Blair Witch Project, and fails on all accounts. I have seen worse, but not ny much. lastly, I think if I was the cop that is constantly being asked to investigate all of this weird and gross stuff (with a camera on my chest! see what I mean!) I'd either leave the force or demand a raise. |
| User ReviewRob RProbably the worst film yet of the found film genre. The acting and plot were bad. The special effects and locations in relation to the story were horrible. It is almost like they shot the film in a day. And what's worst is that it was not scary. I have never wanted a film to end so much in my whole entire life. |
| User ReviewDeb KBad, for a found footage movie. This statement alone should be read as "Spend your time watching something better". The film adds it's own facts to a real life haunting and tapes together pieces of memorable cinematic moments in horror films that people would actually LIKE to watch. I will give it props for it's attempt to add some visual effects (a waste of budget, but good attempt nonetheless). Overall, this film is not worth the time of any human soul. The episode of "Truth Or Scare" about the Bell Witch Haunting will leave you with more jitters than this piece of garbage. |
