I went into this assuming it was one of those dumb found footage ghostie films with the budget of a Big Mac and the filming quality of a brick. I was sorely mistaken, it's SO much worse.
It tells the story of a debate team riding in a bus to a competition and how they fall foul of a supernatural entity of some sort.
It's found footage alright with all the usual tropes but also falls into several of the moronic pitfalls I've been seeing lately which make no sense. For example a found footage movie is supposed to be raw footage and shouldn't be edited, it certainly shouldn't have a soundtrack and things like premonitions/random cutaways shouldn't be visible at all.
So immediatly this had me annoyed, but that was nothing compared to what else watchers have to look forward to. The acting is amateur hour to cringe inducing extents, the plot is baffling and I can only assume the entire movies budget came from product placement.
I generally dislike these movies but they are works of art compared to this abomination. The cover artwork is the most professional thing about this travesty.
One big nope of a movie with a side order nope and spinkles of nope over it. NOPE!
The Good:
Cover art
The Bad:
Cringe inducing
Dreadful acting
Defies logic in places
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
People in found footage movies are devoid of common sense
Some movie makers like to recruit actors from retail outlets instead of acting schools
I actually found myself missing the old school terrible night vision generic found footage movies that all have exactly the same ghost hunter plot
