Reviews

tigerlily923 I never usually review a movie, but I chose to review this one to save anyone else from wasting their time waiting for the good part to start. If you are bored and looking for something mildly entertaining maybe this is for you, as it was in my case. However, as a scary movie fan, this was very disappointing. Most of what was in this movie has been done before in others, far better might I add (made identical to Paranormal Activity). The reactions of the characters made very little sense, for instance: they are more worried about scratching noises and pots and pans than the father and pipes vomiting red bloody goo... When events happened in the movie, there was no follow up, leading to many loose ends. Something major would happen, and come the next scene, it was never mentioned again. This was the biggest problem I had with the film. Also no one seemed concerned that several people were found brutally murdered, all of whom were in contact with this family prior. Things like this made the movie even less believable. All in all this was a decent movie for jump scares, but the plot was underdeveloped and disappointing. I feel the movie would have been far move successful if they had actually done their research on the bell witch and put more effort into the plot than the effects and crappy gore deaths. Also note since this movie is a "found footage" type, there are a lot of jerky camera movements that, at times, make the movie far less enjoyable for some. If you are looking for quality or decent plot this isn't it. But for some mild laughs or scares, this satisfies that. I am not sure why they even base this movie off the bell witch legend.. It is mainly poltergeist/demonic activity and then they occasionally show a lady with messy dark hair and what looks like a store bought Halloween dress. I guess this would be the witch, although I have seen my trick or treaters in scarier and more legitimate attire...
Stan Darsh This movie gets an extra star out of me for the unintended hilarity. Whilst my girlfriend sat transfixed, I either chuckled quietly or laughed out loud, earning irritated looks at first, but gradually mutual understanding. Seriously couldn't help it. After the 4th time they send the SAME EXACT COP to a grisly (supposedly creepy) murder scene, i just about lost it. After the Mom calls 911 for the 3rd time, and also for the 3rd time hangs up on the 911 operator for no reason, I was rolling. I can't take credit for this as I didn't notice it, but the January "21th" date tag, now that I know it is there, makes it even funnier. If you need a solid laugh, check it out.
Tanya Michelle I really wish there was a positive note to my first review, not gonna happen. Unless I was meant to laugh so hard I may or may not have weed my pants.This has to be a joke, right? I wasn't expecting too much, at least I wasn't let down, much.I have seen a few movies on a tight budget, but they still were a decent watch.This was absolute rubbish.I'm still trying to figure out why I even watched it to the end.
tim-arnold777 An 11 year-old with an iPhone and a vague notion of storyboarding could have done a better job. Tedious, repetitive and far too much screaming and crying. None of the characters were sympathetic...just pathetic. Less than halfway through the film I wanted them ALL to be dead just to be put out of my own misery. Also, terrible audio continuity. Some scenes I had to turn down the volume 75% for fear of ripping my speakers, then other scenes were virtually silent movie. I normally don't write bad reviews. I see a LOT of movies, so while I may have panned a few on IMDb that represents less than a tenth of a percent of the movies I have seen and enjoyed and didn't consider a complete waste of time.
