Any word on reviews?


I'm sure this had a screening recently.

SEBO!!!

Yeah, I was at the cast & crew screening a number of months back.

Walked away extremely impressed. Of course, Traucki doesn't reinvent the found footage genre, but he's managed to make a found footage movie that satisfies and surprises more than it irritates. There's a bone-chilling sense of atmosphere, and the ending is genuinely scary.

I've written a full review, but I've been asked to keep it on ice until the film's release later in the year. It has been picked up for distribution, so now we wait and see when they decide to unleash it.

What kind of monster is it?
PM me if you don't want to reveal it on the forum.

Thanks

It best works as a surprise, but if you want to be spoiled, that's cool.

Seriously? I could usually find something good in every movie but the only thing here worth mentioning were the end credits. I'd give it zero stars if I was allowed.

Gee, d'ya think maybe the experience was diminished since you were watching a dodgy pirated copy on your laptop, and not in a cinema? It was fantastic in the cinema.

I care so little, I almost passed out.

I have to agree here.

I've seen a few Found Footage films on the internet (this included)and were disappointed and never had a good experience with them. However I've eventually bought them on DVD and had a much better experience ( I sit in the dark, uninterrupted on my own with 7.1 surround sound headphones on a HDTV :P).

I bought this recently and had a much greater time watching it and I really like it now, so the experience of the film is EVERYTHING when atmosphere is involved; THE JUNGLE has a lot of it.

The only complaint I could give it was that it ended too abruptly like most FF films tend to do: The rule for FF movies is that when the camera guy dies the film ends, so I wish the creature/demon killed the hunter first, then a little chase for the camera guy and then get killed.


EXPLAIN MOVIE!!! EXPLAINNNNNN!
