Absolutely amazing
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
A group of friends travel to a deserted hostel in an isolated area of Ireland. After a long road trip they have to travel to it by row boat (which they do in the dark of night).When they arrive at the hostel there is no electric so they are in darkness. They begin drinking and smoking weed and decide it would be 'fun' to play the Ouija board game by using a glass and paper.They appear to make contact with a spirit who doesn't want to say goodbye which freaks one of the girls out. Strange things begin occurring which escalate as the movie progresses.This is a found footage style movie which, initially, is one of the better of the genre. The acting is initially excellent, very believable; the banter and chatting between the characters is very fluid and natural. The characters are happy, fun and likable. There is a subtle depth between them, showing solid relationships, affection and care.The beginning of the movie is really good and engaging but as it progresses it loses it's grip on you as the script and story begin to become shallow, predictable and annoying.Sadly there is a lack of originality, this has all been done before - and better. The characters begin to become extremely irritating with constant shrieking and screaming from the female characters which becomes unbearable at the end, so much so that I had to turn the volume down.The ending comes with basically no explanation of what has gone on or why. It's so disappointing as at the beginning the movie had so much promise. I have rated it a two purely on the quality at the beginning.
10 minutes in and I was already hating every single one of the protagonists. They were all equally annoying, generic and stupid. The only thing that kept me from walking out on the movie was the prospect of seeing every one of those "characters" getting chopped to pieces. Good Horror movies usually try to form some sort of bond between the viewer and the protagonists so that the casualties end up mattering. Well, you won't be seeing any of that in this movie. The same applies for character development. If you like one- dimensional characters this movie will be a treat for you. And don't even get me started on the fake/Ghetto DIY Ouija board. That scene was beyond horrible. I was literally confused as to whether I was supposed to laugh or just shake my head in disbelief.
I love found footage movies. I don't know why since so many of them are utter garbage. This movie wanted to be good, the filming was typical ff filming, the acting was good, the dialog was...forced. It took a bit to move along but at least was entertaining. It gave a creepy feel and that's nice. One of the most annoying things for me was , if this is supposed to be an abandoned hostel..why the fu** was it so clean and nice? Lol. It was cleaner than my grandmas! I guess I'm about done with FF. It's too far and few there's a truly good one. Loved the fact it's from Ireland though. .......Oh and if this film is supposed to be released in the USA in Sept 2017 why did I just see it on NF?? Lol oops someone did a typo!
Seriously I've seen hundreds of horror flicks and this is def. not one of them, it takes more than 45min to get any interest in the movie, really ? nothing more to this than the old group up of friends going to an abandon place to see if something is there, OND OH! something is there, perfect acting, super lame plot in the film in my opinion. come on someone has to do better than this, this movie could be SO! much better with a better script, Actors did a perfect job, plot was lame again in my own opinion :). . . . . . . . . . the rest of movie you have to watch yourself but be warned, this is bad :) more than bad even bad'r
