Pretty good for a low budget production


Lots of jump scares and a good cast (all unknown) made this a very entertaining flick and a great addition to the horror movies of late. It being only an hour long actually worked in its favor, 'cause everything was kept tight and they didn't drag it out for the sake of going on for the usual ~90 mins.

Nice use of the Covid situation as the backdrop too. 7/10, recommend if you love horrors!

I agree. Pretty good horror film, 7/10 from me too.

We should get a 'Which girl did you like and whose death was your favorite?' thread going.

I liked the girl Caroline and Teddy's GF's death was pretty entertaining IMO :D

For what it was I thought it was pretty good too. The fast pace and simple setup helped.

Towards the end it was starting to resemble the many, many youtube horror videos... the ones where the hero/ine walks around in the dark and then there's a final big jump scare.

And, the idea that these people would lug around a laptop as they searched their homes, conveniently pointing the camera ahead of them was goofy.

But, overall, I thought it was a solid movie...

The Makeup Girl Goes Crazy video is also borrowed from.

I enjoyed it. Just when I thought the found footage was exhausted, I was surprised.

Great use of the face filters lol.
