I love horror and look for it in many places and through that journey, I've come across a range of films that fall between being a decent watch and total garbage. This falls somewhere between somewhat passable and garbage. The story itself has potential but the execution, annoying characters and lack of visibility absolutely ruin it.
The story is about a woman who's trying to come up with a good horror script and hears about a blacklisted graduate film rumored to be both terrifying and made by a ghost. She becomes annoyingly obsessed with finding the film, watching it and using it to come up with something of her own.
The main character's annoying. She's moody, self-involved and even more fueled with curiosity when warned to stay away from the film. She just wasn't fun to watch.
The sets were grungy and not unexpected for a horror film but they lacked inspiration and there were so many scenes that were just total darkness. Seriously, you couldn't see anything that was happening. This style of filming can be used in ways that are advantageous for horror but it can also ruin a horror movie if the viewer has no clue what they are supposed to be afraid of.
I dunno. I was just disappointed. I was expecting more than I got and even found myself losing interest from time to time. I'm sure that some folks might enjoy it but it just didn't work for me.
