Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 08/17/2017
It breaks the cardinal rule of the larger horror genre, running 95 minutes without a single scare or moment of dread. Go to Full Review
John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 08/17/2017
Unimaginative and sensorily monotonous. Go to Full Review

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 ... Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Rob Staeger L.A. Weekly 08/18/2017
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. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International 08/17/2017
An above-average variation on a familiar theme and style, and in a market glutted with scary movies that's no small achievement. Go to Full Review

Kyle M 5d Conceptually bold across its mythical measures albeit nonsensically plotted with few cleverly suspended jolts, the compilation of the many consisted tropes has become its own weakness succumbing to the illogic presentation’s flat equivalence to venturing through a rote haunted house attraction without any dimensional scares over contrived performances. (C) See more Riley P. @horrorluver Nov 1 i liked it! it wasn’t the best but i thought it was good for a monster movie See more Finn H Aug 19 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 See more Nicholas S Jan 12 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. See more Emilliano Jr S 03/30/2024 I felt so dizzy while watching. It could have been better if they made it like a real movie than a shaky found footage. See more Joseph R 02/17/2024 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! See more Read all reviews
