AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

begob This starts really well. You're presented with the mystery of three dead people as the police question the survivor.The survivor is a ditsy artist, who is filmed by her boyfriend as events lead up to the killings. It's all hand-held camera from his POV, and the characters are well drawn by the actors.Another promising thing is that there's some very good art on show, suggesting another way of seeing what's about to happen. Plus there's a good erotic element.So the couple enter an abandoned hospital to scout out a location for her exhibition, and there's a great jump scare at about the half hour mark.After that it slowly goes badly wrong. Another couple is introduced, and you soon get the feeling that the storytellers were stuck for a way of advancing the plot. The rest of the film is random running around corridors, entering dark rooms, getting glimpses of unscary creatures in hospital gowns, and it just feels like the director and writer lost the plot. The tension drains away and you end up clock watching.I'd even question whether this is a horror, because it mostly feels like an exaggerated version of how a manic artistic personality went mad. The point of a horror movie is to make the metaphor literal, and the ghosts in this story don't succeed in that. If you hang on to the end credits you'll get two gratuitous sex scenes that have at most a faint relevance to the story.It's worth a look, but the epic fail of the storytelling is unforgivable.

b-bollinski Lets start that I have watched dozen of these movies already and that this one really isn't that good. By using "isn't really that good" I mean super bad. I looked the movie up on this site and only because of one review I wanted to see it. Now the beginning is actually the best of the whole movie. I liked it, even though there were only two main characters. The girl is crazy. All you need to know. The guy I think, likes to have sex with her (we saw that multiple times in the movie) and I guess that is the reason why he has a relationship with her IMO.Now the storyline is pretty simple. Abandoned place with running water and electricity. Tons of rooms who are filled with "creepy" crap. When they go in, they girl flips. they go out, calls a friendly couple and they go back in. Sounds logical to me (not). From that moment the movie sucks. The guy from the couple that has been called is a huge douche who thinks he's a bad ass (carries a gun etc..) . Now This particular moment in the movie blows my mind => the crazy girl has sex with the douche in one of the rooms and gets busted by his girlfriend and then he has sex with her too (trio-style). Now, if that wasn't weird enough, the crazy girl (main character) plays with the douches gun while she gets "filled" and shot him on purpose and thereafter his girlfriend. Because (f-word) logic, that's why. And that's is it. ow yeah she also shoots her boyfriend while saying to each other: I love you baby. Tadaaa written by a 6 year old who liked sex. If you hope to see a horror movie, don't watch it. if you hope to see some soft porn, watch it. if you hope to see a ghost, you will: I think two or three times you see a pregnant woman (woohoo!) The end was unsatisfying. You hope they die because of the simple reason they don't make any sense. Whenever I watch a movie like this. I want to believe that when I am in that situation i would or could do that. Not even once in this movie. I gave it a 1, I would have given it a zero but IMDb doesn't allow it. (P.S.: every review about this movie that says Grave encounters AIN'T or MIGHT be better, stop reading the review)

Flow I see the reviews are harsh, I won't be the one to break the ice on a quite good one, in order to attract attention or mislead people, but for someone who never was into found footage movies, I got to say this one kept me still, watching, waiting for more.It starts slow, some nudity, some jokes and builds up to the key point in around 20 minute. From there on, it grows more and more and starts to deliver. Sure, nothing mind blowing, but considering the fact that zombie movies and found footage are spreading like a virus lately, once you do find a good one, it's good to get things straight. In my honest opinion, SxTape is a good example and here are the reasons: 1) acting was good; 2) characters were typical and natural; 3) once the tension makes an appearance it stays there; 4) one or two good scares (let's face it, found footage can't really be scary anymore;) 5) the twisted situation involved.So all in all, I would recommend this one, if you don't expect too much out of it, it will be OK. Somehow of a "Grave encounters", maybe better, dunno exactly. Anyway, if you do go in for it, enjoy!Cheers!

MartinHafer A huge trend in low-budget films over the last few years have been the so-called 'found footage' movies. In other words, the participants in some horrible massacre, ghostly apparitions or alien invasion supposedly used a home video camera and the film you see is that actual footage. In the case of The Blair Witch Project, a tiny indie brought in many, many millions of dollars. However, by now, 15 years later, the idea no longer seems very innovative…in fact, it's become a bit of a cliché. While some newer found footage films manage to overcome this and still entertain (such as "Alien Abduction"), a lot of it is just crap…and "sxtape" is just crap.There are two huge problems with this film. First, despite the title, there isn't that much skin in this film. Instead, they talk about sex a lot and when the characters supposedly are having sex, you don't see anything. So, for someone just wanting a cheap thrill, there just aren't very many. Second, and this is by far the biggest problem, the characters are utterly hateful and I was annoyed every second they were in the film. And, considering they are in just about every frame, it made watching this movie a real chore.Adam is supposedly filming everything in this, so all you get from him is his voice. He's a weak-willed guy who seems to do whatever his nutty girlfriend, Jill, suggests. She is a super-annoying young lady who seems completely absorbed by herself. The dialog between them is among the worst I can recall in a film—and they have zero depth to their relationship. They just cuss, talk about sex and she does whatever she feels like doing—exposing herself to others, shoplifting or breaking into an old abandoned hospital. And, the hospital break-in consists of most of the film. Jill and Adam decide to sneak into the place and make a sex tape. However, mostly they just rummage through the old building where it appears as if no one has been there in decades—yet, inexplicably, the lights still sometimes work and the water is also working (huh?!). Later, after one foray into this creepy place, they bring a couple equally annoying friends and they run amok in this place. There isn't a lot of suspense, however, as when the film began, you learned about their fate. The bottom line is that having ANYONE occupy this much footage on a found footage style film is tough because the viewer will most likely tire of their antics. But, when you make the people THIS annoying and banal, then it's practically impossible to enjoy the film or recommend it to anyone. Overall, it's a film lacking originality and horror that is instead just a horror to try to watch.
