Most low-budget found-footage movies based on the paranormal investigation theme seem to be horrible. This one is better than many, but it's still not great. The acting isn't bad and the overall story is okay. I do like the concept of a haunted prison.

Not great, but not as bad as I expected.
Really BAD movie.
Well......I am a massive fan of found footage/cam corder movies but this was a really terrible attempt at a scary paranormal movie. There was no atmosphere no tension n no suspense whatsoever. It was diabolical.
The acting was atrocious n over the top.
The ending was completely predictable n silly.
I am afraid that I can not recommend this film n ruin my reputation as a movie buff n also waste 71mins of your time.
Better than average found footage!
I wasn't expecting a lot from this film, but I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I'm not always found of found footage films, especially when the "footage quality" is kind of bad, and has shaky cam going on, and this film was guilty of some of that. But it also mixed the footage part mixed with more traditional filming, and I liked the mix.
The set up of them trying to make a viral video for YouTube is a good set up for that, and it's a great way to have the characters explain more about the myths/lore behind the prison.
There's a part in the middle that has some pacing issues too. But it has some nice touches as well, and the twist at the end was nice. The twist is one I have seen a few times in horror, but it was a nice one to end with.
