I don't like the movies that simulate the "handheld" cinematography, I've walked out of many theaters for that reason, they give me motion sickness. This movie's "handheld" feel was beautifully executed. It showed some motion and some scenes were shot in "selfie mode", but it wasn't that bad. Anyway, there are two types of movie that creeps me out. The ones that mess with my head, and the others that give me the "being chased/something in the dark" willys. This movie gave me tons of the latter. I love horror flicks, and I've watched so many movies about possession, and this movie knocked Deliver us From Evil out of it's number one spot for me. A few scenes had me laughing giddily because I was a bit freaked out. Lara V. (Carson) had a split personality throughout. She could be sweet and timid, but she always had this menacing look about her, and when she switched, sometimes it was overdone, but it didn't bother me. Great twist at the end, too.
Now,the bad. The acting in spots was terrible, the plot is contrived and worn out, and one spot where Carson's friend plays a video for the male lead, it was so over the top... Well, you'll see what I mean. Then again, there are cult movies out there that are so ridiculous, it makes this movie look true to life. Either way, it's definitely not a 10 but it's great for a cheap thrill, as long as you can look past it's flaws.
