5/10 stars is about right

Not a bad movie, but not great either. The direction felt amateurish, especially the bullet time stuff in the opening scene. I agree with the others that the shaky cam and the glitches were just too much of a chore to sit through, and made me want to leave. There were about 10 people in my theater and about 3-4 left in the first 20 minutes, I imagine for this reason.

I didn't like the Russian girl's monologue about her son. I thought it was corny, and the acting was pretty bad.

SPOILER.....

As for the twist, if the girls wanted to be famous, why go through the whole charade of wearing a mask? And why exactly would a drop dead gorgeous YOUNG actress resort to going on a killing spree, when she can, you know...possibly get work in acting, and become famous THAT way?

Yeah a 4-5 sounds about right to me too, the people posting about how good it is have me confused. It's got a low user rating and critics hate it, yet people on this board love it. Weird.

Like you I thought the glitches got annoying, especially when you can't see what's happening, which is about 1/2 the found footage parts! And the ending was spelled out a mile away, those flashbacks they showed were the exact moments I said out to loud to the person I was watching it with 'it's the 2 girls, they're probably crazy lesbians who want to be famous' and boom, 90 boring minutes later I was totally right, haha.

Yeah the twist made no sense, I agree. They made it obvious who it was, but it still doesn't make sense. I give it a 4/10, as most of it wasn't very well done...

I think a few people who worked on the film are on this board.

Agreed 4-5 is a fair rating for this and final the twist felt forced.

I gave it a 2/10.

I didn't know it was a found footage film going in (hate all of them except the one with the Cthulhu monster in New York) and the sappy parts in the beginning made me kinda sick. The camera "tricks" didn't help either.

Some really hot women though, the Australian girl especially.

Also, who gets weird glitches like that when they're editing?

I vote it 10/10 to balance you guys out. lol. for me this movie plot pretty good. keep me guessing all the way till the end.

I thought it is the boy friend and the star girl work together for this. so the end increase the point for me.

The glitches and camera shaking a bit much. agree on that.

GenusHomo. I think Radha Mitchell is really pretty, so I agree that some of the women in this were hot. I'm watching this now and finding it hard to get into.
