I'm a sucker for found footage films, it gives horror movies a more real time experience which other movies have a hard time getting across to it's viewers.
However, when you watch lots of found footage films, you find a pattern and this movie follows it to the T.
Cameras everywhere and things go bump in the night and eventually build up. Characters have mental breakdowns and go against each other and then everything explodes on the last night leading to an ending that makes no sense.
This is your typical wannabe ghost hunters who want to be the ones to prove that the paranormal exists but can't handle it mentally and fall apart within seconds of experiencing unexplainable events. The screaming, whining and crying makes this movie very painful to watch and the terrible acting made me cringe.
It was also very maddening to watch due to the fact that there was no common sense whatsoever and the characters emotions did not align with their actions.
Just like other FF films, activity during the first night always seem to go unnoticed and never talked about. It's as if they didn't watch the playbacks the next morning and chose to watch three days later and the first night gets missed.
Found footage films need to get more creative and stop following the typical character stereotypes and repetitive storytelling.
The story had potential but was poorly brought together and fell apart.
I have never rolled my eyes so many times and felt such anger. Please spare yourself and skip this movie.
score 2/10
