Just saw this film being advertised quite widely around the internet, and after watching a few clips and the trailer, I must say that this looks like a rather promising Found Footage film. Give the below trailer a watch and see what you think. The film's out on VOD now and is having a limited cinema release throughout the US in June!
Some nice camera angles that have never been done before in Found Footage, so it's worth checking it out just for that in my eyes.

I agree it shows potential. I'll watch this one.

I managed to download this earlier today, so I'll be watching it tonight. I'll put my verdict on here afterwards. Not really sure what to expect to be honest, as everything apart from the camera angles seem a little too generic! UPDATE - Just finished watching the film, and it's fair to say it's average. Some great camera angles and techniques that I've never seen done before in Found Footage, but predictable and poor scares. A good story, with a nice little twist. A great ending that sums it all up aswell. Definitely one of the better of the genre, but still, not amazing. A little too much like Paranormal Activity. Worth a watch!

Looked out for this movie for a while, supposed to be one of the better found footage movies of last year.

I'd definatley give it a watch if you can get your hands on it, if not, Its getting a US cinema release in June! It's pretty average, but easily one of the better found footage films of 2011.

Ok. I've seen it now. Meh. I've seen it done worse. Much worse in fact. A few nice shots. Some jump scares. Forgettable unlikeable characters. Minimal plot. Lots of things moving around by themselves and loud unexplained noises. Very dark. When the S hits the fan, you really can't see what's happening. Like every found footage film I suppose. Maybe it was just the poor quality of the copy I saw, maybe it was shot that way on purpose. It's worth watching once. That's about it. Nothing here I haven't seen before (and done better) in other movies. Blair Witch it ain't. Not even close. And what the heck was that pixilated machine? Why block that out? What am I missing here?

I doubt it's the copy you downloaded, I think it was just a poor all round movie. This could have had a hell of a lot of potential, but it just doesn't deliver!
But yeah, what was with the blurring of the machine? I'm yet to get that either.
