Dallexandra S Felt like a real family but had very long scenes. Besides that, good film that really sucks you in at the end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Jeremy S Implausible plot developments. Characters that are difficult to invest in. Excruciatingly long scenes of nothing happening. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Audience Member Disturbing film albeit very good. Spoiler.... wasn’t the daughter alive at the end? It showed her breath on the camera Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/18 Full Review Audience Member A British family plan to move to a bigger home on the beach after Dad gets his big promotion at work. The problem is that Dad doesn't get the promotion, but he won't admit the truth and goes to increasingly desperate lengths to cover up his lies. The disintegration of this family is captured by the daughter's new video camera. I understand some of the appeal of found footage films beyond just budgetary issues. There is an ability to reveal narrative in creative ways, and this film engages in them at times. But the costs of using the format are pretty enormous. Almost all character development is sacrificed to the central gimmick, so the film is stuck with tell you all about a tragedy happening to a bunch of people you don't care about. Additionally, all the tools a horror film has for building up suspense are junked in favour of asking us to watch really really long static shots of people yelling at each other. Could this work with a really well-crafted story? Maybe ... this sure isn't one though. There's a plot development at the 2/3 point that it would be charitable to call "idiotic", and the whole climax of the film rests on your acceptance of this absurd turn of events. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie starts with a portrait of a happy family, filmed by the sweet and sensitive daughter, and then one day the father comes home and announces to his eagerly expectant wife that he's gotten a promotion when he hasn't. The missus immediately sets out to live the kind of life that the right income can buy. Of course, because they actually don't have the money, they start going deeper and deeper into debt which, ultimately, begins the destruction of a family and pushes the father over the edge. Although this film borrowed from the "found footage" school, the story line is fresh, the actors are first rate, and the ending is heartbreaking. Sometimes real life is scarier than any fiction.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Finally we have a well-done found footage film which isn't in any way related to horror. Regardless of what some people say, this is a drama/thriller about a family that breaks due to financial crisis. The father does everything in his might to keep his family happy, yet when things go downhill he exposes his darker side until finally ending the movie with a shocking atrocity. It was really well made, the actors did an amazing job of making everything believable, they even did all the camera work. I was surprised that such a great movie went unnoticed to the public eye, I barely found out about it myself. It is really an amazing and refreshing experience since I'm, like probably most people, tired of found footage movies with hauntings and supernatural elements. I'm sure many of you will appreciate this unknown charm. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
