I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I thought this film had promise. A good blend of 'found footage' and third person perspective. The acting was standard for the type of movie it is, with a couple of standout performances.Spencer Knights, played by Bernie Hodges, was an asshat of the purest variety. More concerned for winning his own network show, he put his entire crew, plus one, in danger for the highest hits on his internet feed. The villain in this instance was the spirit of a doctor who sacrificed thirteen children to open a doorway to the shadow realm. Unfortunately, Spencer re-enacted the ritual, sans sacrifices, and allowed a cambion to inhabit the doctor's wandering spirit. As it ran rampant, killing the rest of the crew and the plus one, it became more real. Fortunately, two of the crew escaped more or less intact.Clem, the caretaker, played by Judith Haley, was a lush after my own heart. She provided enough comic relief, as well as creep factor, to keep the film mildly interesting. She provided the accurate background for the 'ghost', as well as some interesting tidbits of witchcraft and paganism. She used her witchy ways to banish the cambion back into the other realm.A couple of jump scares, but mostly a lot of loud noise and a slowly stalking man in a monk's robe and beak mask make for a so-so film. Had they attempted to inject a little more humor, it might've garnered a little higher rating. Obviously, in spite of its best efforts, it wasn't a really scary 'horror' movie; just a run of the mill haunted house flick.

There is more in the darkness than you know... Mind-full host Spencer Knights puts his crew in peril whilst trying to win his own series as part of the paranormal competition Dark Vision. Find out what manifestations lay in wait for his team inside Baylock's Folly - a place with a dark history and possibly a darker present. Who is it's mysterious caretaker Clem and what are the twisted motivations of the producers at the "Dark Vision Hub"? Step into the darkness and find the answers in this new wave Gothic horror from Stray Spark productions.It's too bad there is no way to check the reviews here on IMDb. The one good review is from a guy who talks about seeing lots of movies and this is great, except he's only reviewed THIS movie!!!In other words, he worked on the film.It's an atrocity. Boring, stiffly acted, poorly written and amateurishly directed.Too bad because the sets are cool enough to have worked well with a crew who had talent.It feels more like a really bad TV show than a movie.The blonde with the big ones should have done a full frontal and I'd have given it 2 stars instead of one.

I watched this movie without any expectations, there were no reviews to base it off or at least not to go into the film with any preconceptions. From the very first scene to the last, the acting is awful, cheesy, unconvincing and dull.A horror movie for me, needs to be scary and tense, this film was neither. I never jumped or found myself dreading the next scene, instead I was wishing the torment would end. At this point, I was ready to scoop out my eyes and tear out my cochlear, so the torment would end.I would not recommend this film to anyone. It was terrible.. Truly terrible.

I found it really enjoyable and fun to watch. It really does make you jump, laugh and scream. OK its low budget, which means the production isn't so slick in places which makes some aspects a stretch to believe in. But this is a horror which seems to have its leanings to more classic films than modern - and I loved that. It's a bit of a roller coaster ride of spookiness and laughs. It starts of slow and intriguing but stick with it as it starts to chug along nicely from about a third of the way in with horror & jumps galore and doesn't take itself too seriously. I say give it a shot - its strangely compelled me to watch it again - which is more than can be said about a lot of movies I've seen lately.
