   A paranormal team whom is involved with a reality TV show is going under so they investigate an abandoned summer camp where a bunch of murders took place back in the early 90s only to be trapped there as they become victims themselves.   
   An entertaining beginning of  the story which is a promotional trailer for the reality TV show even if some  of the scene's looked mildly campy to look convincingly creepy but again I  think that this was the intention while watching all of this unravel.Then in the story there's a  discussion with a reality tv producer John Brierwitz talking to Jack about his  show possibly being cancelled as this also looked mildly campy but effective  for the story along with this being well focused.
 Things looked good and  natural when he is having a discussion with his wife on what can happen to his  job in which there's well concentrated moments by what they were talking aboutt  in which this scene was well dramatic.
 Then when Jack gets his team  of people to discuss on going to the abandoned camp site the moments looked  perfectly sharp and drawn in to what they were talking about making this scene  look really powerful.
 In the story a sheriff tries  to warn them about that place as well as someone else revealing flashback  scene's on what took place there back in 1990 with the tragic moments as well  as the picture had a somewhat grindhouse feel to it all which was well done.
 Nice situations with the  group driving towards the campsite as well as a blurry shot on some child  zooming past them as this was a nice mysterious and jumping moment used in the  story. It made me think that this moment was a ghostly moment.
 Also when they enter the camp  I found shots on interesting stuff like cassette tapes and an old pic as well  as other devices that were useful back then and how technology has changed  since.
 Good moments on everyone  setting up surveillance cameras preparing for their reality show in which I had  a feeling by how this was all set out that creepy moments are going to happen  within what we spot along with what comes up on the camera's throughout the  night.
 Then Jack goes out with his  camera to shoot out in the woods to see that his fire has been put out in which  this was supposed to be a chilling feel that a haunting is about to take place  but things seem a little too obvious.
 The story is a bit slow for  some segments but then when the hauntings begin the story becomes a bit more  entertaining in which one of the crew members Emma walks through a series of  cobwebs in a room and then to find there's creepy looking spider which looked  totally tripping to anyone who fears these insects.
 Also there's a moment when  Angela goes out to call to some of the crew since no one was responding to her  in the deep dark woods this looked perfectly eerie and leaving a sinking  feeling that something scary is about to happen.
 In the story there's a moment  when they try to get to their vehicle but are back on the same path as they  have been earlier which pays a tribute to the Blair Witch Project and works  very well into the story.
 More twisted moments occur  later on including zombies coming out of a pond and facing soome of these  people and speaking creepily to them as well as a mind tripping moment when  Jack tries to dive in to save someone sinking underwater which packs a perfect  punch.
 What's really strange is  quarter way through these paranormal events one of the crew members of the
 reality show is a part of the  evil happenings making things even more genuinely twisted as well as showing  that these hauntings weren't made up.
 Bottom line is that the film  is well done but some scene's were a little too contrived when it came to the  hauntings but it offered a variety of horror twists still making this film fun  to watch regardless. It seems to pay a tribute to paranormal and found footage  horror films which always took and interest to me.
 
 The acting was whipped up  into good shape in which Chad Michael Murray (Jack) seemed to show some spunk  into his part of the story showing good frustrations when necessary as well as  having a good loving attitude towards his onscreen family and was believable  while getting into a discussion. Shows a ton of adrenaline as well as intense  energy when the terror strikes him so he was passable with his characteristics. Danielle Harris (Angela) was  probably the best out of the cast in which she was great with her speaking and  acting sharp as well as to the point with stuff. Also does a nice job when  getting scared or anxious about stuff and really packing a punch within all of  this. Was marvellous with her aggressions which was another great plus to her  characteristics.
 Candice De Visser (Emma) came  across greatly onto the camera with her presence into whatever she did as she  comes across as someone who tries to stay calm along with showing a good  intelligent type of attitude. Had the right decent looks for her role which  shows off perfectly. Plus does well with her wicked and cold attitude quarter  way through so she offered a nice versatality.
 Michael Eric Reid (Kevin)  showed terrific energy with his hyped up attitude as well as showing some nice  aggressions and sarcasm. Seemed to come across as a bit of an idiot which  shines off nicely since he portrayed a pothead. Reacts well to stuff as you can  tell. That he studied this part nicely.
 Courtney Gains (John  Brierwitz) shows off a well remembered cameo in the story as a head of a  reality tv show offering some nice high paced wit into what he was talking  about along with showing a negative type of behavior when telling someone some  bad news which was somewhat believable too.
 
 The music score done by Chad Rehmann was well  composed in which there's alot of deep violin music which is commonly used in a  horror flick as well as some deep dark groaning type of music too as it tried  to fit in for the horror even if the scene's needed to have improved more so.  Plus some piano music which sounded okay. Also there was some odd electronic  music in certain spots which didn't really do anything for me.                     |
