Highly Overrated But Still Good

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Admirable film.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The camera work was bad even for found footage and the story was all over the place. This was just bad.

I'm really not entirely sure why this film has gotten such awful reviews. I personally thought this was beautifully captured and written. It's definitely one of those films that you really have to pay attention to understand it. Because there wasn't much dialogue aside from the dialogue between Penny and Scott, it leaves a lot of the film up to the imagination. The ending of the film ties up everything perfectly and pulls all the information gathered from the rest of the film and makes complete sense. Every single question that you would have about Mr.Jones has already been answered. Where did Mr.Jones come from? From the last "Mr.Jones". What was Mr.Jones doing? Warding off the dream world from the real word. Why didn't Mr.Jones want to talk to Penny/why didn't he talk to her? Because he's literally battling his own reality where the real world and the dream world are colliding and he has probably learnt to ignore anything that talks to him. Everything makes perfect sense, you just have to piece it all together in your head.In terms of the cinematography, it was shot wonderfully. In the beginning, there is a featured "shot montage" just like the series of shots featured in Scott's colliding world's. The way this movie was filmed ties perfectly well with what is happening. It's quite obvious that the choppy and confusing shots were put in there for a reason - because the character's in the film were confused about what was going on and also trying to put everything together. The shots mimic the plot and it is wonderful in all honesty. If you're in search of a film that is terrifying, seemingly realistic and extremely suspenseful, this is the film for you.

Mr. Jones is now streaming on Netflix, and when I came upon it I think I was taken in by the striking cover art (it's not the one listed here on IMDb). It's of one of the "statues" in the movie, silhouetted against a plain background, with some relatively cheery looking writing underneath it. It's a hell of a poster, and a great advertisement for the film.It's a pity I can't say as many good things about the film, because I really wanted to. Something about the film doesn't quite click, and it's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is. The action is good, the villain is creepy, and there's a good story. All ingredients that a horror movie needs to nail. Even the acting is good, much better than it needs to be.As I said though, it just doesn't... click. The format chosen for this film was a really, really bad choice. It's completely overdone, and it doesn't suit many films at all(I can think of 2 films where this choice worked). All it really does here is serve to rip us straight out of the action on screen, made even worse by those obligatory moments where the camera dramatically cuts out and random, documentary-style interviews littered throughout the middle sections.The closing sections of the film are also strewn with bad choices. It slips into a slinky, Lynchian nightmare for the last half hour, which is good on a purely visceral level (it's well made) but it feels practically unrelated to the rest of the film and offers us no progression on what we've already seen. It's all style and no substance, which is a shame when the film actually sets itself up so well.This is a film that may be enjoyed by some, but not by most. Some films don't need an ending, and do well by leaving out a definitive one. This is not one of them.

I don't really have much to say about this movie.Its sound like good movie to me but I found very boring for most of the movie. That really annoyed it the movie was far to confusing to follow and I didn't really understand what the hell was going on,I didn't the fact it going back and forwards were other people were taking about Mr JonesI Did not find any of the movie scary or anything but There were some weird moments in the movie, which kind of liked even thought that really puzzled by the story.I thought the acting was really good in this moviei going to give this movie a 3/10
