When aspiring horror filmmakers post an online casting call looking for "real life" monsters to interview for their upcoming documentary called, The Monster Project, they find three individuals claiming to be a skin-walker, a vampire, and a demon. Meeting these monsters at a remote mansion in the woods on the night of a total lunar eclipse, the filmmakers invite the three subjects to share their haunting, personal experiences. Working on the crew is a recovering drug addict who suffers withdrawal and paranoia. As a person of faith, he fears his friends underestimate the dark powers they are summoning. When the interviews turn deadly, he must battle the demons, inside and out, to escape the house and defeat the rise of evil incarnate.

This was a movie initially a bit difficult to get into, as it came across boring and the characters rather unlikeable in the opening several minutes. As such, I had started the film weeks ago, then given up and only re-watched it now.once it gets past its establishing period, it becomes shockingly fun. While the vast majority of the film is essentially filmed in night vision on a camera, there is very little that is hard to see and it's not at all difficult to keep track of the action going along.the plot is serviceable enough, in the form of an amateur documentary on people who claim to be real life "monsters"; a vampire, a Navajo skinwalker, and someone possessed by a demon. each one gets a brief interview segment, then Stuff Goes Wrong and the adventure ride begins.while filmed in a by now familiar style of found footage running from a demon monster thing, the use and constant interchange between three completely different types of monsters actually works in maintaining a vibrant pace without getting overly bogged down, while giving us some unique "fight" sequences with the different monsters.It all plays out rather like an adventure game, with each monster as a "boss fight" to be defeated in different ways, with the demon in particular being the most unusual of the group with a hallucinatory pseudo-flashback sequence involving one of the protagonists.rather than go through each "boss" one at a time, they end up recurring several times, often playing to their original mythos (as in, the Demon leaves its initial victim and possesses someone else, the Vampire gets killed but bites someone and that person eventually becomes a vampire later on).The movie began to slog a bit near the end, involving a twist ending reveal that in my opinion killed the fun of the movie, no longer indulging itself in various monster mythos but instead going with a familiar, bland Christian-centric Satanic rituals and talk of an antichrist. It all came apart around there, losing focus from its initial monster mash premise and going for something entirely different for its last 15 minutes
Another day, another found footage indie horror flick consisting of three stories explored by a documentary film crew. Their remit is to meet and interview three real-life monsters, who take the form of a demon, a vampire, and a skinwalker. What this all boils down to is the usual shaky-camera material and a mix of slow and boring interview snippets with some night camera incidents borrowed from the likes of BLAIR WITCH and REC (or QUARANTINE). It's all very low rent, predictable, and not at all scary.
Would of been a perfect 10 if the ending was a little better was just a tad rush Ed for my liking, I honestly do not know why it got so many bad reviews?! The build up was good from the start at first I sort of thought there is a "I can see it coming plot" but it actually surprised me the story line after all was pretty clever, I was just a tad miffed at the end it just seem to happen so quick and next thing I just saw the credits and thought hmmm little let down but that is my ONLY gripe about this film It made me jump so many times the effects were actually really decent, I'm a horror fan and this definitely got my pulse racing, I wouldn't be watching it on my own again! This film is definitely worth the watch don't be put off by the bad reviews it's a lot better than some of the crap they feel the need to release in the Cinema, now you put this on at my local Cinema and I would DEFINITELY go and watch it!!!!
I first saw this film advertised on the IMDb homepage so decided to check it out after finding the trailer really interesting. Ever since the Blair Witch Project the hand held 'real life' camera method has always given the film an air of mystery as we don't always tend to see what the character sees. However, I can assure you this film is different and doesn't just build up anti-climatic suspense. The film contains a group of adults wanting to make a documentary about different kinds of monsters to bump up views for their YouTube page when they're contacted by volunteers to give interviews, whilst the crew initially brush the claims off as ridiculousness, they soon start to change their beliefs.The premise is interesting and the film starts that way too even if it is a little slow to get into. A film like this shouldn't really go over the 80 minute mark but what you gonna do?There are a few jump scares and once the 'chaos' kicks in it does get really intense. The first 2/3 of the film are the most suspenseful and intriguing parts but come the final third act, we are left with that unfulfilling feeling of emptiness and predictability that these camcorder films tend to conjure up. Overall, its a fun little film to watch with your friends on a weekend night for a few scares, but it's not a film that will leave a trace in your memory. 5/10
