Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times It breaks the cardinal rule of the larger horror genre, running 95 minutes without a single scare or moment of dread. Aug 17, 2017 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Unimaginative and sensorily monotonous. Aug 17, 2017 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The film is not boring per sey, but it does not really bring that much new to the found footage plate and it over-uses chaotic images ... Rated: 2.5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Jonathan Barkan Dread Central Let me put your fears to rest before we go any further... YES, there are monsters in this movie, and HELL YES do you get to see them. Rated: 3/5 Jan 30, 2018 Full Review Rob Staeger L.A. Weekly It's sometimes tough to follow the action, but for a short while it's breathless fun, as escaping one monster leads the group to the next. Aug 18, 2017 Full Review Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International An above-average variation on a familiar theme and style, and in a market glutted with scary movies that's no small achievement.

Riley P. i liked it! it wasn’t the best but i thought it was good for a monster movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/01/25 Full Review Finn H The acting is really well done, the sfx was really good however the monster faces are a little bad but the movie makes up for it with the plotline, i dont see many movies actually doing research on skinwalkers and mentioning where they come from so i was suprised to hear it but im glad its there, overall a really good movie and would watch again :33 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Nicholas S Overall a decent found footage horror film. I really loved Jamal he was super funny and made the movie a lot better. There was also a few things I was not expecting that made the movie better for me. It is not one of the greats but I think its worth a one time watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Emilliano Jr S I felt so dizzy while watching. It could have been better if they made it like a real movie than a shaky found footage. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Joseph R This movie isn't terrible. My biggest gripes are the overuse of the "faulty camera glitch" looks and when the action speeds up, unfortunately so do the recording cameras. I liked seeing Justin Bruening in a scary movie, as I usually think of his character, Jamie, from All My Children. It was a delight to notice the vampire looked super familiar and that's because she is a sister to the youngest girl from the Nanny, Madeline Zima. There is much from the film that could have been cut to make things be less frenetic and shaky and could keep the run time down. It's a lot of film without the best payoffs, but it is entertaining on a dark night! Do watch at home with the lights off! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Jerod S The monster project is a "found footage" horror that gets lost in bad monster chasing for the final third of the film. Zuker can't act her way out of a hat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
