74 minutes of obnoxious shaky cam, screaming, and bright lights!


Don't waste your money. Although, I did love the music when the movie ended. Anyone know where I can find that?

Pretty much my only gripe with the film was the atrocious shaky cam, simulation of missing frames, and everything else they used in a feeble attempt to make this look real.


I fracking hate shaky cams. And it just got worse and worse throughout the film rendering it borderline unwatchable.

This film could've been quite decent if they filmed it like a normal movie.

Another thing that bothered me was the little boy... sometimes I FORGOT he was holding the camera. The script does a bad job of reminding us there's a little boy holding the camera lmfao. Like he would be running with the mom and daughter but the daughter would just be screaming for the mom, and the mom would ask if she's alright, and I felt like they kind of forgot he was there sometimes.

Yeah that's exactly my thoughts. It's like he was a ghost. Nobody cared about him ever. He was just following them like he wasn't really there.

that and some decent acting would have made it watchable.

I don't know why, but I really like found footage. Some of it is bad, but not this movie. I liked it a lot actually. It kept going at a nice pace and never got me bored. The mom and the redneck played their roles really well. If you are into found footage, you'll like this movie.

Couldn't agree more. Including the music. The music at the end was the only thing good. Terrible film!! Like to know what the music was though.
