High on Films

For a slow-burn horror mystery that reveals its ace right before the end, Motion Detected is an utterly riveting, increasingly terrifying descent into the bowels of trauma and the unimaginable burden of reliving it.

Bloody Disgusting

Motion Detected wants to tell a story about security anxiety, and there are times it starts to say something almost insightful, yet ultimately the whole affair gets buried under a dense tangle of loose wires and flat metaphors.

Rated: 2/5

A limited budget hurt the visual splendor of Motion Detected, but it might have overcome that issue with stronger writing. Sadly, it cannot sustain its exciting premise.

Rated: 3/10

Assignment X

A decent mashup of haunted house and rogue AI.

The Take-Up

Almost every aspect of Motion Detected is tacky and poorly executed, but what truly sinks the film is not its shoestring budget but its conceptual inanity and incoherence.

Warped Perspective

It's too diffuse, too confused and has no pertinent social comments to make. Tech framework or not, this is thin gruel.

So awful it actually ends up being hilarious, just not in the enjoyable way, more the frustrated insane giggle sort of way.

I hate to be this brutal towards a film, but this was a film that drew visible frustration out of me while watching it. It's not so much the overall quality of the film that frustrated me as much as it was just the pure careless and non-sensical script writing, and a conclusion that truly makes the entire 80 minute movie feel like a complete waste of the viewers time. I found myself wondering what could the actors in this film have done with a better script and different direction.
