- FranBiz6d agoI just love the idea of these fake paranormal shows going to a real haunted place. I love that the movie nods the troupes of those shows, too. There is a back story about the haunted asylum, and I find it interesting. If you're a fan of found footage movies, I recommend it.
- 匚卂尺ㄥMarch 7, 2025A lot of the camcorder/found-footage films I've seen have left a lot to be desired and mostly just had me hoping everyone would die as quickly as possible to get it over with, and I'm not the biggest fan of ghost-hunter style films either. So things weren't looking great! But my niece wanted to watch this, so I settled in ready to spend an hour and a half or so of not being scared, getting bored and praying for the inevitable deaths to come thick and fast but I was wrong. This is actually a pretty decent horror film with genuinely scary/jumpy parts and although very cliche of course, the premise of the ghost hunting crew going into the abandoned asylum looking for trouble works well and there are some good twists and creative ideas thrown in to keep it interesting and keep its head just above the parapet of being too similar to all the terrible similar films I've seen before. The descent into madness is believable and sometimes unsettling and I also found myself actually rooting for certain characters and hoping others wold kick the bucket, which is usually a good sign that the film is engaging enough to have you care one way or the other. Wonderfully horrible ending if a little rushed but I found myself wanting to watch the second one so if you like the genre I think you'll definitely like this film.
