SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

PretentiousInternetMan It's a brilliant idea to present a found footage film as a documentary as it gives a reason for the footage to be FOUND and EDITED in an entertaining way. This is an entertaining film for nearly 70 minutes but the last 10 minutes are horrible. I will not spoil this film for you but it's an entertaining ride with an extremely weak payoff. This isn't the fantastically well written film that many other reviews claim that it is, which you will notice in the end when suddenly little of the film makes any sense. Just understand before you get into this that the movie is a lot of fun most the time with a weak ending. I'd recommend it to anyone who is bored of conventional horror movies; if you're looking for a memorable experience, I'd look elsewhere.

tiailds Most of this movie is trying to predict how it ends. I got some details right, but not all."Was it interesting?" While they tried to portray conspiracy theorists rather well, they didn't really show a realistic investigation to me. 2 out of 3."Was it entertaining?" There's not much character development, and the story just seems to string several movie tropes together. I was hoping for something a little more complex and exciting. 1 out of 3."Was it memorable?" The ending is the key to this type of movie, and this ending was slightly predictable but mostly a letdown. It was made well and pretty well acted. 1.5 out of 3.Starting with 1, 1 + 2 + 1 + 1.5 = 5.5With a half, I'm going to round down to 5 for the bit of disappointment of the overall ride. Maybe it's just not cup of tea.

begob After the mysterious disappearance of their conspiracy-nut subject, two documentary makers uncover his pet theory. But what is really going on? The first half is brisk and on-point. The direction and editing are spot on with the internet details of themes about big government cover-ups, which are still popular today, 7 years later. The acting is solid, and the profile of their subject is well done.Then the mystery disappearance. Hmmm. The conspiracy urge transfers to one of the film-makers, and we lose track of the original guy and all the effort to build his character is thrown away. I thought they should have gone down the track of a missing-person hunt. Instead they focus on tension between friends, when they could have done both.The sequence where the black SUV pursues the heroes is genuinely tense. But the third act is a bit Hammer horror c.1960, and the punches are pulled at the end. Didn't really notice the sound or music, apart from the booming drums that came out of nowhere during the ritual.This was all devised before the banking cartel bared its fangs in 2008 and tore the last shreds of aorta out of government ofthepeople-bythepeople-forthepeople - bad timing, dudes! Overall, good entertainment that ends in cheese. I'm sooo tired of the caricatures of the genuinely nasty people who pull the economic strings in our declining society. Come on, film-makers: strap on some bull balls! Walmart is Hollywood's biggest client.

Tom Siebert Friend of mine recommended this and I was dubious because low budget indie horror films are usually bathed in blood and predictable and stupid but this was none of those things. It's smart, builds well, and doesn't pound the audience over the head. It's also very slyly subversive in how it delivers the facts behind several real conspiracy theories, including 9/11, America's intervention into WWI and others. The performances are a little bumpy in spots, and some of the dialog near the climax didn't feel natural to the point of almost being comical. People might also be put off on the faux- documentary style, particularly in the last act when it's all shot by hidden cameras on the protagonists' tie-clips (though, to the director's credit, he gives one of them a small smudge in the corner, so we know whose perspective we're getting).Overall, a knockout debut from writer/director Christopher MacBride. Will definitely be looking to see what he does next.
