Storyline

Popular prank TV show, Scare Campaign, has been entertaining audiences for the last 5 years with its mix of old school scares and hidden camera fun. But as we enter a new age of online TV the producers find themselves up against a new hard edged web series which makes their show look decidedly quaint. It's time to up the ante, but will the team go too far this time, and are they about to prank the wrong guy?

User Reviews

Not just a horror movie

This isn't just a horror movie, it's a criticism of modern mainstream horror which is build on cheap scares, lazy writing and production that sells to masses. Brothers who made this film know the horror genre very well, know what it does have, what it needs and what it lacks. Through witty humour, parody and well working eerie atmosphere they tell the story of two generations trying to come to compromise- old, build on atmosphere and the second one, build on shocks, gore and viral marketing. In 80 minutes, you'll encounter fear, dread, laughs, twists and parodied situation we all hate in haunted house and slasher movies.It's not just great horror movie, it's also well established criticism of now-day's horror and not just that, they are not two old grumps, they also celebrate our generation's horror as well. Nicely done fusion of two generation with one pinch of criticism. And to that reviewer bashing the open ending... they did it on purpose, the whole movie was build on it.
