Michael Ledo You might want to skip the first few minutes of the film as it is a plot spoiler the reoccurs at about an hour and twenty minutes. The film is almost all found footage, as a crew films the show "Home Hunters Global" hosted by Kate Banks (Carrie Genzel). The crew is in a remote village of Moldova, a Romanian culture. They have returned to film the house of Becky Westlake (Brigid Brannagh) who bought the "worst house in Moldova." Upon their return they find the house if magnificently restored as they stay in a nearby village being ugly Americans with their cameras. There is a story about a local witch being burned at stake about 100 years ago. There appears to be something significant about frogs too.The acting wasn't solid. There was an attempt at humor, more towards the beginning, but there was nothing to indicate the film was a spoof. Alex (Kris Lemche) provided us with a few funny lines while everyone else was his straight man. The film takes over 50 minutes to get going, which maybe why the editors opted to splice a plot spoiler in the beginning. Mia Faith provides us with minor eye candy.Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.Note to self: Never yell "witch" in a crowded bar of Romanians.
iamtherobotman I've given this a 4 out of 10 mainly due to the ending of the film. Up until that point the story was OK, obvious, but OK. A Witch legend in darkest, deepest Eastern Europe. It was generally handled quite well, never scary or overly suspenseful but pleasant enough to watch. We had the standard characters - The bitchy boss woman, the arrogant stoner, the woman's man and slightly ditsy blonde as the film crew, all played their parts well enough. Outwith that we had the lovable local the Artistic woman deciding to leave the big City for country life and the Footballer Boyfriend who came across more of a cocksure Boyscout than a Professional Footballer.As i say all was going along as expected until the last five minutes and for some reason it decided to go all Disney on us. It just didn't fit with the rest of the film and had the feel of a Script writers child had got their hands on the final draft and rewrote it as a five year old would have a film end. It was never a great piece of film making but the ending just completely ripped it apart and ruined it totally.
rebeccax5 I've had to watch it twice. At first it seems very cheesy and idiotic. By the end it's BRILLIANT cheesy and idiotic! A real surprise, silly and bizarro. Meta-funny.It don't want to give anything away, but i'll say you have to stick with it.Yes, it is a scary movie and at first it seems VERY lame. By the end, it's BRILLIANT, very lame, a dark, funny comedy.When I first put it on, after seeing a Netflx ad for it, I was immediately disappointed, so I started doing housework and barely paying attention. Then, I fell asleep and woke up halfway though. It was very trippy, so I restarted it and saw it actually paying attention. Very original and CLEVER,
Blank Spot They're Watching actually has pretty much material to be a standard found footage film. A workable idea about witches and legends around a small town, local freaks, Americans with lot of swearing, and idea about witches actually pretty lame, but due its lameness, I thought fewer finally did a movie about that. Which makes the idea may developed freshly.All of swearing jokes and dull character development, surprisingly, are lovable and enjoyable to watch. Although I keep thinking, why are these adults really don't know about handling manners with local stuffs? Anyway, after the dull segments (which eats like 3/4 of duration), the climax set when their van is broken, seemingly interesting. I like the easy twist (nah, it is not that hard to guess the secret) and how they keep it as suspenseful as possible. But, everything start to be a mess when a sudden thingy Ghostbuster-esque fx coming. I almost want to stop the movie right now.I know it is comedy horror, but knowing that 90's ghost fx reappear in found footage film seems really nonsense. Either it is a part of comedy spices, or seriously intended, it is just not fit into the movie. But, the deaths and few low-budgeted-CGI-gore are interesting enough to see. When bodies starts to flying with power of CGI, and when a priest starts to burned with CGI fire, it seems my taste to care about the end already finished.At the end, I conclude that probably IT IS because of we never really had (or I never watched) any crappy-CGI in found-footage, because of found footage limited its range by kind of low budget and realistic moments. The different nature of CGI in this film, maybe like what a exploitation-genre in 80s resurrect today with found footage. I like most of story and like how they not trying to make the movie too real smart or too real dumb. I like how the awkward shots with the CGI was given. This movie can get few instant likes.But consider how unrealistic the CGI shots in found footage, I cannot say that I would recommend the movie to my pals. It is just too awkward to watch this.
