When aspiring horror filmmakers post an online casting call looking for "real life" monsters to interview for their upcoming documentary called, The Monster Project, they find three individuals claiming to be a skin-walker, a vampire, and a demon. Meeting these monsters at a remote mansion in the woods on the night of a total lunar eclipse, the filmmakers invite the three subjects to share their haunting, personal experiences. Working on the crew is a recovering drug addict who suffers withdrawal and paranoia. As a person of faith, he fears his friends underestimate the dark powers they are summoning. When the interviews turn deadly, he must battle the demons, inside and out, to escape the house and defeat the rise of evil incarnate.

Let's be realistic.
just watch it!
Absolutely the worst movie.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
The premise: A couple of YouTubers making fake monster videos put out an ad to film and interview any REAL monsters in the area, without expecting to get exactly that. (The trailer gives all this away, so I'm not spoiling anything.)The premise is great, but there really isn't much of a story. I guess that's the way a lot of found footage movies are if they're done well - they feel spontaneous. This didn't. It felt scripted.The effects are great, and the performances of the people being interviewed are good, in my opinion. But the interviewing team's performances are terrible. A lot of overacting. And who ever heard of a cameraperson that won't shut up? Things get better as the movie progresses, but the beginning is very annoying. I think his character was supposed to be some sort of comic relief?The story was periodically derailed by unnecessary drama among the crew - which they filmed and included in their "monster documentary" for some unknown reason.The atmospheric sound effects and music were good, but WAY too heavy-handed and in some cases, just unnecessary.Loved the special effects and makeup! They were so good that I didn't understand why they pulled the camera away from the action or lit things so you could barely see them. There were enough close ups to see that they didn't need to.The ending caught me by surprise only because it seemed so inconsistent with the rest of the movie. It didn't make sense and felt like a last minute idea. If the rest of the movie would have supported the ending better, I think I may have liked the whole thing a lot more.If you watch the first 10 minutes or so, then skip to about a quarter of the way in, you might have a better experience. If I ever watch this again, that's what I plan to do.It's worth a watch, but this is too flawed to be called "good." It's just "okay." I'm being generous in giving it 6/10.
This is apparently the first real film from this writer/director. I must give some kudos to the writer/director as they tried, at least, to be original, and succeeded to some extent. Most of the terrible reviews seem to be written by people that aren't familiar with the independent/small film scene, and seem aimed at larger projects with a more experienced crew.At times, it's reach did exceed it's grasp, but, overall, I found it enjoyable and I look forward to future projects from this writer/director.
Mixed emotions by seeing the monsters. look, the first half is rather boring and even the interviews with the three monsters isn't satisfying. But I waited to see what the fuzz was all about and indeed, after half throughout this flick things go wrong.Is it original, no it doesn't because this is done years back when mockumentaries and found footage flicks were a hype. And yes, even here it's all shot in night vision when the creatures are awake.On part of the effects that is rather above mediocre. Clearly based on jump scene's. So for me it's a trip down nostalgia, not a good story and some moments even too cliché and even laughable but the last part makes it worth picking up.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
I honestly cannot find it in myself to ever watch this movie ever again. I would rather eat something rotten that gives me horrendous diarrhea and sit on the toilet for 24 hours than endure this movie's hour and a half run-time again.In terms of the acting, the only one who I felt did a good job was Yvonne Zima who plays Shayla the Vampire. Her interview in the movie was the best.Besides that, the only other good thing I can say about this film was the slight plot twist which I honestly didn't see coming. Yet I contribute not seeing it coming to the fact that I was too busy focusing on the garbage that was presented in front of me.The CGI looked like it came straight from SnapChat filters. The "scares" were cheap and dumb. The movie starts off with one, but that doesn't really count and then the rest of the "scares" don't come in until about 53 minutes in. The movie is 98 minutes long. Meaning that it doesn't start the "scares" until about 54% of the way in. From that point on, you can imagine what happens: scares, scares, shaky camera work, lots of running, scares. And of course, because the CGI was completely laughable, not once did I feel scared. My heartbeat didn't even rise.The one scene that probably infuriated me the most is that they place the camera on the ground to fight one of the monsters and we don't see this happening. Instead, we're shown a shadow puppet theater of it happening. That's right: we see it from the shadows fighting off and stabbing the monster. Seriously? You give us the usual bad shaking camera perspective and then can't even show us what's truly happening.Just a plain bad film overall. Would not recommend for ANYONE to watch.
