User Reviews

Words can't describe

How awful this was. Granted, I don't like "vlogers" or YouTube personalities, so I went into this hoping these idiot kids would die. I watched this in German, as that's all Amazon had, and no I don't speak German. A good movie you can follow by body language and setting. While this is far from a good movie, I was able to follow it. And I wish I couldn't.

Having seen Chernobyl years ago, I was hoping this was going to be of the same suspenseful quality. It isn't. 10 minutes in, at max, you pray for characters to start dying. By the time any action starts, you're already dozing off. Using infrared cameras was a horrible idea. All it did was add headache to the already terrible story.

The ending/twist is worse than an M. Knight movie. What a cheap cop out. All this movie did was solidify why I don't care for YouTube "personalities" or people born after 1992.
