Peter Kourakos III Matthew and Jessica are on their way to the hospital. Jess is pregnant and they're going to their second ultrasound to learn the sex of the baby. Matthew is recording a video journal and in the midst of it, they get T-Boned.The accident causes Jess to miscarriage, but also takes out Matthew's right eye.One year later, Matthew is installing an iPhone camera into a prosthetic eye to record a party over the weekend.Along with two other couples, the weekend excursion is at Matt's boss's house. His boss is letting them use it as part of recovery for Matt's accident. He's also a conspiracy theorist/trapper and built the property to catch a sasquatch.Matt's friend Joe brings along his new DSLR camera and is also frequently recording.During the party, a meteorite hits and Matt and Joe go to investigate...That's essentially the jist. Mathieu Ratthe wrote and directed what could have been a brilliant movie. Instead what we got was something that was almost good.The acting was at times forced and wooden. Other times it wasn't terrible. The plot involved stupid people doing things they shouldn't be doing - like sticking their arm in a strange meteorite. There seriously could have been a better catalyst for everything. The ending was a bit disappointing as well. It wasn't badly written, but I felt it was badly delivered.That being said, there WERE some good points in this. The movie involves aliens (not sasquatch), and we only truly see the alien at the end (see my previous statement). The scenes where the alien is involved have great tension and deliver some pretty good jump scares.Also, the direction is done really well. The cast may not have done a great job, but Mr. Ratthe has his vision and I only hope he improves. Also, the production values were very good for being a low budget film.As some people know. I've become a fan of found footage movies over the years. The best in recent memory were Chronicle, The Frankenstein Theory, Diary of the Dead, and of course, Cloverfield. With a little more refinement this could have joined that group. In fact, this could have worked out as a Cloverfield movie. If it had a bigger budget...who knows?All in all, the bad in this outweighed the good. The potential to be great is there. Mr. Ratthe just needs a little more time and the right support behind him.Frankly, I hope he gets it.

skonowe The reviewer's that review this movie has anything lower than the seven are beautiful. You are absolutely terrible reviewing you should be ashamed of yourselves and resign

ddbeuth If I had known this was a "found footage" type of movie, I would have never watched it. Unfortunately, once I start watching a movie, I have to watch all of it. Rarely have I hated this compulsion more.**** Spoilers ****The movie starts with some narcissistic putz paying more attention to his camera than to his surroundings with the result that he and his pregnant wife are in a car accident, his wife loses their baby, and he loses an eye. In the accident scene, his right eye is obviously injured. In the very next scene, he has a patch over his left eye. Over the next five to ten minutes, the injury goes from right to left and back again a few times. One would think that someone involved with this production would have jotted something like "it's the right eye, idiots" on a post-it note or maybe the actor would have realized that something was amiss, but apparently not. This pretty much set the tone for the entire movie.Obviously not having learned the dangers of ridiculous levels of narcissism from the accident that killed his unborn baby, the guy makes a prosthetic eye camera -- complete with epoxy and strands of ... stuff! Bet that felt good in his raw socket. He, the Mrs. and four friends then take a trip to a cabin in the woods. Overused cliché, anyone? Oddly enough, everyone seems perfectly content with letting the one person in their group without depth perception do all the driving.What followed was a display of overacting rarely seen outside the confines of late night infomercials aired only on the really cheap channels, as our heroes raced back and forth through the woods and corn fields, cameras a-shaking', while aliens grabbed at them from the dark and took their clothes. Apparently this was an attempt at communication. Why beings capable of interstellar travel would be limited to the meager communication options of stripping people naked and leaving cryptic crop circles isn't explained. I would think that such an advanced species might realize that a simple, "I say, ol' chaps, that thing you found is ours, and we would like it back," would be more effective.The final thing that made me groan was near the end when the guy was reviewing the video from his camera eye and came across footage of the accident at the start of the movie. You know, video from a time when both his eyes were real (although one was a bit deflated). I suppose he could have copied the video over to his eye from the camera he was using at the time of the accident, but why?I would have given this movie one star, but the dog in it was really cute and gave a better performance in his thirty seconds of screen time than any of his human costars.

nobodyelsepost Shitty footage, incredibly secondary plot, stupid story, awful dialogues, hysterical and annoying personages, talentless acting, no directing, techniques we saw billions of times. It cannot even be spoiled as there's nothing to be spoiled: several idiots in the county-house behaving like imbeciles right from the scratch - and this is obviously supposed to - whooooo! - scare. this is not a movie, this is garbage, just garbage.
