Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post Fourteen years after "Blair Witch," has the whole found-footage-horror genre jumped the shark? Maybe. Weiner, however, manipulates its well-worn tropes deftly. Rated: 2/4 Mar 1, 2013 Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) It's the first found-footage film I can remember to marry the 21st-century horror genre to classic horror from a century ago, and that makes it at least worth a look.

Stephen T Not a slasher gory film. It was awesome. It's reality based for if frankienstein was real. I hate the Blair witch kinda pov filming but this was great and done just right. Probably the only pov film I've ever said that about. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review noel g THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF PEOPLE SAY ITS TRASH ITS AMAZING IS KRIS LEMCHE IS SO FINE Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review D C It took me a few passovers until I watched this horrified, hellified movie. Yes indeed the off screen deaths limited much BUT and especially with no theme music interfering, the scenes bought me in more. The sounds of death made the horror as it translates wtf did Frankenstein do? I felt terrible for them because out of the many FF films flooding the market still in 2023, this was better produced, acted, written, located, filmed. It bought me back to Blair Witch and feeling realer to me like a horror movie should. I feel the purpose of film was to bring an incredible, thought-provoking concepts of the book being "based on a true story" premise of real experiments. And sadly, I believe the film is meant to also leave the viewer feeling empty as in "I can't believe this happened" or "no no no not that!". More original than most FF films. Enjoy people. Very under rated!! The Monster Project is next best classic horror FF to this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I actually really liked it. One of the better “found footage” movies Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/18 Full Review Audience Member This movie is not getting great reviews and I really don't understand why. It's certainly not a big budget movie but for fans of horror films this is certainly not bad. It's very similar in style to the Blair Witch Project. I would definitely recommend giving this a watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Creating the air of mystery around what exactly is responsible for the attacks, and leaving the creature off focus for the whole movie for a shocking final reveal in the last sequence might have been more effective if the damn thing wasn't ALREADY ON THE BLOODY DVD COVER.
