Review of 21 Days

21 Days (I) (2014)
4/10
Overacted, under thrilling
1 November 2017
If it wasn't for the three pretty young faces filling the screen, there would be nothing salvagable at all about this film. Terrible over-acting, along with shoddy dialogue and a propensity for profanity from the main character seem to the be the only strengths to this piece.

It feels like the producers were aiming for a Blair Witch meets Paranormal Activity product, but in the end they fell woefully short of either benchmark. There were quite literally no scares, and nothing at all to make you feel any sort of compassion for the characters.

The sole redeeming quality of this film was the inclusion of Whitney Rose Pynn, who at least brought some real emotion to the story.

But as has been stated in other reviews, as is the case with all of these found-footage films, in the end the whole mess degenerates into a cacophony of shaking images, screaming voices layered over one another, and nothing you can really see to tell you what is actually happening.

High time for the found footage craze to be over. This should be the nail in that coffin.
