Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

totarin-89193 I'm a horror movie fan and this movie was scaaaary! and really good too. Recommend it for sure. Actually, I saw the second one and it isn't worth it. Just watch this one

jadonachar I decided to watch this movie based on the rating which is not bad for a horror movie and the couple reviews i read about were positive. The movie began with a great start, it took a lot of time for action to appear afterwards but it does keep the suspense going, there are a lot of jumpscares, the movie itself is not scary so that disappointed me since it is a horror movie, the ending is the worst part about the movie, it is just ridiculous, it does not make any sense, i feel like i wasted my entire time watching this movie because of the crappy ending.

WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by First off, this film surprised me greatly. After watching amazing horror films like The Babadook, The Conjuring 1 and 2, and The Descent, I went into this film with low expectations and was thoroughly entertained. The story is dark, disturbing, and gruesome. The imagery used throughout the film is very scary and the tapes add to the horror. The plot twist was very good and the ending was frightening.The acting is mostly good. Ethan Hawke always performs well in every o=movie I have seen him in. Hawke is accompanied by Juliet Rylance, Fred Dalton Thompson, Michael Hall D'Addario, and Clare Foley who all perform well. James Ransone performs the worst because his character is dry and he can't act very well.The pacing is slow in some parts but it is mostly consistent. The runtime is a little overlong.Pros: Dark and disturbing story, the tapes, good plot twist, a scary ending, good acting, and Ethan Hawke's performanceCons: Some slow pacing, James Ransone's dry performance, and an overlong runtimeOverall rating: 7.0

christopher-underwood I probably shouldn't have watched this the evening after seeing The Conjuring as there are similarities and that film is a much more confident and fundamentally scary movie. I understand Ethan Hawke was not only very keen to play this role but also recommended Juliet Rylance as his wife. I don't think Hawke is really up to this role which is a difficult one as he has to play by himself for much of the time. Neither do I feel there is any rapport between the two. I did like the unusual score, I loved the opening and closing credits (which really are creepy) and felt that the children were effective. Being an old 8mm buff myself, I much enjoyed the playing with these found films and the whole exciting business of editing. I was also most impressed with the 'Skype' sequences when Hawke gets to hear the views of an eccentric university professor. I thought these scenes were amazingly well done and that the film caught fire during these sequences. If only the whole film could have been run at this same tempo and level of weirdness, because it did have the potential to be as scary as The Conjuring.
