Good but unpolished movie
19 December 2015
This is the first review I'm writing since EVER because I really have to rectify all these bad ratings and reviews for this movie. First of all, the title is super misleading. This is not a ghost movie. It's more of a mix between horror and science fiction. This movie is nothing like the traditional ghost story, probably why most people are so disappointed.

I've seen people reviewing this movie who turned it off after only half an hour screen time: BIG MISTAKE! The story starts to take shape after 45 minutes and it gets really interesting from there. Small details reveal the plot and even though not all is clear at the end, I understand that some people might not get it at all and just sign it off with a low rating.

I have to admit that the plot feels a bit messy, you get dropped off in the middle of the story with creepy entities appearing and not knowing what has happened to the family beforehand. But give it a chance. You might be surprised. It is obviously not the best movie ever, but I appreciate that the makers tried something different. It's just a shame that the big audience will never like 'different' kind of movies. Many of my favorite movies have bad ratings on IMDb. Honestly, this movie is better than some blockbuster movies who appeared in the cinema. But I guess there is no arguing about matters of taste.

And to people who say that the house is too expensive for a single mom: you probably mean 'too expensive for a unemployed single mom'. Because if not, you're being really sexist.

Great start, bad ending
19 December 2015
I love found footage films so I obviously had to give this one a chance. I really like how it started out, two people moving to the woods to make a nature documentary. I like this movie because it is different. Not a group of teenage friends who rent a cabin in the woods and end up being slashed to death by a creepy figure. Just two adults leaving their hectic life in the city to try something else, but find something entirely different that captures their interest.

But then it takes a really bad turn. No more found footage and a really trippy and vague ending. This movie could have been SOOOOO good! But the ending, it ruined it all. Sigh.

Even so, I can recommend this movie to anyone who liked found footage movies. Just don't expect a perfect movie. It's not flawless, but different. And that's what I like about it.
