The concept is terrible. The execution is unbearable. Slow doesn't even begin to describe this film. Not a single word is spoken for the first 10 minutes. The "acting" is dry and emotionless. Most of the film is shot from the first person perspective and somehow that makes it even worse. There's no understating how bad this movie is. I really want to ask everyone who gave it more than one star what they were thinking. Sure, I sat through it, but only because I wanted to give it a fair shot. No, I didn't expect it to get any better, but I have been wrong before. There were zero redeeming qualities here. I'm actually offended that this film had the nerve to be listed in the horror genre.
I liked the story, the eerie cinematography, and the ending, and the director does a good job immersing his audience in the creepiness of the film. Well done!
Yes indeed, very predictable... Someone in the comments section stated that this movie "over-stayed it's welcome" and they're absolutely correct, after 45 minutes of creeping around this guy's unshakeable bravery finally got tested... Oh well, I don't have to tell you what happens next bcuz you already know next....
The director/actor is a decent enough guy, but how many scenes of him walking and walking and driving and driving do we have to see? It's like a 15 min story is crammed into a 70 min movie. I found myself looking at my phone instead of the tv screen.
Relentlessly boring and nonsensical, absolutely predictable...That's what makes this drek a horror movie.
Brilliant cinematography, great atmosphere, but sometimes it feels too long despite being only 70 minutes including credits. Not exactly a horror, but rather a dramatic ghost story with average acting and a nice twist.
Absolute B Grade movie, nothing impressive.. very dull and meaningless movie... Acting is horrible and storyline is not good
Watching this movie is like listening to a politician rambling on and on and taking 70 minutes to say what could have been said in 7. Pointless and endless scenes of rummaging through an abandoned building with nothing actually happening; I found that the biggest horror related to this movie is a wasted 70 minutes of my life that I will never get back.
Gil (József Gallai ) investigates clues of his deceased wife and child in an abandoned building. This is basically a first-person, one man found footage film. Most of the film is Gil trouncing through a building, first during the day and then at night. The film was made by folks who have no business either in front of or behind a camera. József Gallai is horrible directing himself to follow his own script. Imagine if they made Blair Witch and there was only one person in it. Even though it was only 70 minutes, it is worth a solid punch on the hacker's card.
