good back-story, and good acting
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
But why have such idiotic protagonists? For people trying to sneak up on and sneakily film a swinger's party, they make more noise than an Iron Maiden concert....this Lets the whole film down really... all the pissing about in the barn before the climax destroys the gentle momentum built in the early stages of the film. Waste of a Good, if unoriginal premise, Could have been so much better. Some nice bleak locations in Winter Looks like a lot of work went into the film but when they came to actually making it, they couldn't be bothered to see it all through and just wanted to get it done and (hopefully) count the cash. A brilliant turn as a vacuous celebrity hungry slapper by the stunning Natasha Sparkes who deserves better.
I saw the trailer on youtube and thought WOW this looks right up my alley! Sorry to say that the trailer contained ALL the best bits. Although the story is good it is let down badly by the poor acting, especially Maza who seems to be doing a Danny Dyer impression throughout the film. As the film is short (75 minutes) I thought it would get to the scary part pretty quickly but you will have to sit through 58 minutes of Scott Bates' cringe worthy script before anything nasty happens. Many youtubers compared it to Blair Witch but I wouldn't. The Blair Witch Project is a masterpiece compared with this weak effort.It is not the least bit disturbing because the characters are such idiots you don't really care what happens to them. Its also not jumpy, scary or gory. A complete waste of time.I really hope that countries outside of the UK are not put off by this boring film because us English are very capable of making truly awesome horror films like Eden Lake to name one!
I actually had high hopes for this film, especially as it was British and gave us an automatic connection to our very own BB. The characters were introduced well and although it was extremely slow you still felt the need to persevere and find out what was going to happen. The clues as to the real goings on at the farm were introduced well, although it was blatantly obvious it wasn't a haven for Friday night Swinger parties from the get-go and I actually felt sorry for people from the characters' hometown as it didn't really glorify their intellect. If anything it disrespected it!(Unless of course that was intended, which i doubt!) The acting was actually very believable in my opinion, yet the real let down was at the very end of the movie when spelling Beelzebub as Belzeebub was the first no-no, swiftly followed by 'No members of the Brotherhood of Belzeebub have yet to be traced'. Now correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't that mean they HAVE been traced!!! All in all, If you want to see a whining Davina McCall lookalike for an hour and a quarter then enjoy. If you like a on the edge of your seat movie then avoid at all costs! ( 10 out of 10 for the acting though, as it really was credible.)
Let's keep it simple here. Found footage horror is my favorite sub-genre of horror and i've seen quite a bit of them.This one here in short without spoilers is "trespassing gone wrong". The characters, acting etc are all good no problems there. Mostly in the "not enough scares" part that this kind of lacked for me personally.However it is still worth watching in my opinion just don't get your hopes too high for it. I mostly would recommend it if you ran out of this sub-genre to watch and needed another one to tide you over until you see the next paranormal activity or something like that.Last 15 minutes of the movie are where its at and with a short run time which is the way these movies should be. You don't got much to lose so give it a go.6-6.5/10
