Even knowing and appreciating the artifice doesn't entirely deprive the film of its eerie power.

ANTRUM: THE DEADLIEST FILM EVER MADE is a mind bomb that is precisely calculated to grow on you. It is quite a feat for a film to have its artifice laid bare and still be able to wrap cold fingers around your spine.

Ready Steady Cut

A film from the 1970s about a brother and sister who endeavor to dig a hole into Hell; all wrapped up within a contemporary documentary about this film's curse. Or at least so it seems.

Rated: 4/5

Flickering Myth

The mockumentary structure seems to simply be a way to smuggle a very subpar horror movie into the world, using the clothing of something far more interesting.

There's a genuine creepiness about it, and it will haunt you.

All of these themes are so powerful yet the storyline is so simple and that's the genius of it but unfortunately I find the film does a disservice by hyping itself.

Rated: 7/10

An interesting idea, but frankly the "documentary" aspects of it should have been left behind. Explaining the weird little images that pop up only diminishes their creep-factor. The actual "movie" is pretty good for a low-budget spooky show. The little boy is great. It veers into weird territory in the third act and some of it works, some of it not so much.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Basically a less interesting and less well written version of House of Leaves, turned into a B-reel horror movie. I would recommend you watch it at least once.

This movie allegedly kills everyone who watches it. Great "marketing strategy" I suppose but I've seen it twice. It was awful. Also, I'm still alive. It's a horrible movie promoted with a great gimmick, much like Paranormal Activity.

interesting concept. the "movie" wasn't overly scary. creepiest bit was the hunters- seemed like the most real hell on earth. the rest pretty was unbelievable- where's mom?

Once you get past the somewhat cheesy mock-umentary opening, Antrum is great. Legitimately haunting, the main actors were believable and gutted me during some of the more intense scenes. It's not a completely fleshed out narrative, more like a tragic snapshot of these kids lives. I liked the parallels between the sister's scary storytelling having actual worldly consequences and what can be taken from the entire genre of horror movies. Themes of trauma and healing are fun to dissect post-watch. Respect to the film for doing what it did on such a low budget. Had to watch some silly cat videos to shake off some of the disturbing imagery before bed.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
