    Feel like I got scammed into watching this movie by that excellent Trevor Henderson-y poster.

    The acting and cinematography and general filmmaking prowess are all hovering somewhere around the student film to pornography level. Genuinely bonkers that this is the second time the director’s made this piece of shit. 

    There are some good scare *ideas* here (although all are stolen from Prince of Darkness and The Void), and the few creature effects are great. Two stars for that (and the pig).

    This could have been great, but was ultimately let down by the lackluster execution of some nifty ideas.

    For one, Adam Green really should have gotten someone else to play his character. (Which would've made his camera man's "maybe we should just get an actor to play you" a nice little meta-joke.) Not only is he an absolutely horrendous actor (as are everyone in this movie who are playing themselves), but he is also extremely unlikeable - a Troy Duffy-esque…
