I went into this movie assuming that it would be completely terrible based on other reviews. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually all around a better movie than many others in its genre. There is one negative I can think of, and that is the pacing. The pacing is poor and can leave you a bit bored. Fortunately the filmmakers included a few surprises in the background when the characters aren't paying attention, but they can be hard to miss. As for positives, I thought the characters were surprisingly likable and natural, and weren't the sort of protagonists you get used to seeing in these movies (not genre savvy and pretty stupid). The CGI was also a plus; it's used so sparingly that the end result is very effective and not too cheesy. All in all, I enjoyed it. It's too bad that it was so poorly received, since I would've liked to theorize on some of the plot elements.

I really don't know where to start with this one, there is just so much wrong with it. I will start by saying that this review is only for the first forty minutes of the film. That's right, didn't even make it to the end, which is actually a first for me. OK, the director and writer hails from Brazil. Seems he has written/directed/edited/produced a few things over there and runs his own production company (Red Line Films). This appears to be his first English speaking feature.We follow a group of highly obnoxious college kids on a trip out into the middle of nowhere to go to what seems to be an old disused hostel of types (though they have keys for the joint). The guys barely have the maturity level of ten year old, and the girls...well, while passable to look at I guess could not be anymore stereo-typically 'helpless females' if they tried.Let's get to the film style. This is a found footage, but the shaky cam is beyond bad. I normally don't mind stuff like this, but after twenty minutes even I was starting to get a headache. Suffer from motion sickness, stay away from this one (in fact, stay away from this garbage regardless). Now, anyone with half a brain (and remember folks, Ireland and specifically County Sligo is not a big place) would maybe set off in the morning to get to your destination? Not these bozo's.They arrive at a lake (which takes them all of four minutes to row across) in the middle of the damn night, then hike (once on an apparent island) to the hostel...where more school-ground humour is to be inflicted upon us. It never got any better and by all accounts from other reviews around the web, I didn't miss much.Now, I believe this was filmed in 3 days. It really shows. Secondly, they used an estimated budget of approximately two thousand Euro. This doesn't show. Quite frankly I'm struggling to figure out where the money went. Maybe on the shopping trip at the start of the film...petrol maybe? Perhaps they bought a new mobile phone to film with on the way? I have no idea. They couldn't even get a real Ouija board for the film which you can buy for a tenner! Now in fairness to the people involved, I admire that they are trying to do what they want. But seriously, surely at some point in time, you have to realise and accept, that you're just plain not very good at it? Also annoyingly, let your product stand on its own feet, don't get your mates to big it up. Of the 313 current votes on IMDb, 45 idiots rated this film an eight or higher! Please, stop! This is one to truly forget folks.The Sage's Rating: 1/10

This doesn't contain spoilers, I don't think, but I checked the box anyway. I always give a movie I watch to the end a 3. I figure, if I've invested this much time to watch the ending, it deserves a 3. I don't understand found footage films. I keep watching them but have never found one remotely scary. Why do people keep filming when their life depends on getting the hell out of there - wherever "there" is. this one is no different. I laughed at most of the running around. I usually save this kind of watch event for when I REALLY don't have anything else to do. This one met that goal. The sex scenes weren't even good soft porn. I didn't even hide those scenes from my wife. These last few lines were to meet the 10 line review requirement.

Horror movies are awesome and the ones that frighten you and make you sit at funny angles are worth they're weight in gold.There's a lot of rubbish out there believe me I've watched them all, I just cant help myself no matter how bad. Because of this that makes me a bit of an expert. So when I tell you ya must see it ........ Get on it. The characters are excellent the acting is quality I was sat at a funny angle for the second half. Not saying the build up was not up to scratch because it was it gets the horror going really well. I was forever stopping the movie and rewinding to see if anything was going on in the background. Deserves to be up there with The Blair Witch, Rec, Cloverfield and Evidence. All Fantastic FF horror in they're own right. A Must See for True Horror fans. 3:)
