Synopsis

Tom Riley thought he was getting the deal of a lifetime when he bought a house below market value at a Sheriff's sale. He invested every penny he had with the plan of flipping the home for a profit. Once he owned it, however, he noticed strange happenings, all of which were captured on 21 Surveillance Cameras located throughout the home inside and out. At first he thought people were breaking in, but he soon realized he was dealing with something Paranormal.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
x-lofty-x I don't have a single positive thing to say. Bad acting, bad storyline, didn't make it to the end!
misscath-02668 Found footage is one of my favorites if it's done right. Kind of a Paranormal Activity without the backstory. Lots of suspense and good writing, although it dragged at some points. Didn't get scary until near the end. My biggest complaint is the main character was a whiny, nasty little man who was beyond irritating.
Saiph90 Found footage has been flogged to death and beyond, one more shaky film inducing a headache is one to many, so my heart sank when we started watching the film. With using stable house cameras thankfully we had the alternative to the hand held camera. The central character is not hugely likable but is watchable, his motive for staying put is all his money is tied up in the house. When he is badly beaten up in his bed even the most hardy would have upped sticks. This has some nice scares and only having the one central character works well to build tension he is obviously a loner and he is by himself to face the demon. Maybe a bit more reveal on what is 'Bad Ben' might have helped, I am reading there is a film out there as a prequel which I am intrigued enough to track down.
chrisandjade-59663 I didn't expect much from this. Found footage films are nothing new and can be predictable. The reviews ranged from 'awful' and 'waste of time' to 'cult classic' and 'original and scary'.To begin, the only living character in this film is a pretty normal, if a little ugly, man. Not your young good looking couple or annoying group of teenagers. That in itself makes the film somewhat original. He is a likable character and his actions are both funny and realistic (though at times pretty dumb). I didn't find myself routing for the guy though, I didn't care about him. The film delivers a good handful of jump scares and peep through the fingers moments. The story of Bad Ben is interesting and you definitely want to know more.The film leaves many unanswered questions which are hopefully answered in the prequel.Overall it is a very scary film that I would recommend. I might have been ambitious giving it 10/10 but I rate horrors on scare factor. If I'm scared, It gets a thumbs up.
