Dead On Arrival
24 July 2018
The majority of stars for this movie go to the stars themselves, since the fine cast try to do a great job with a good premise that is then butchered by the film maker.

So much of the plot doesn't make sense and the locations and effects are not used to the best of their ability either. Other films have tackled the same ideas and done a much better job at staging, shooting and subtly letting a story unravel. Whereas here everything is laid out far too quickly and then sloppily followed along as if we the audience didn't see it coming from the get-go. Worst of all as a found footage movie it falls into all the pitfalls that the genre is criticised for. The amount of time that people mention turning a camera off or how they have to keep filming is maddening, not to mention the cheat static that is used far too often and far too blatantly.

Overall this whole film comes across as amateur outside of the cast involved. So many other movies have done so much more with so much less, e.g. American Zombie, and they did it over a decade ago. Maybe if you are a casual horror fan you will find something here, otherwise I would not recommend this unless you are a fan of the actors involved.
