Writing this as i go. Drinking rules at the bottom.

Straight off the bat, i think this is a student film. I don't know if this was done during the school year or after graduation with some classmates and friends. The acting is decent by 1 person in here, student/theatre level by most and one guy feels almost offensive in their portrayal.

Definitely feels like college students trying to fight for PC rights and a lot of social awareness commentary. Not saying good or bad, but it was very noticeable and to the point of repetitive.

The movie tries to come across as if it is a documentary style. However, soon after the initial scene, it's evident that the scenes are not shot at all from the perspective of one of the students. They have one of the characters filming everything, however the viewer never sees anything from their perspective but instead from some unseen camera. And yet, they still do the shaky cam as if one of the actors was filming it.

Every. Single. Scene. And even some angles. Are changed by a solid second of black screen. Like a weird editing cut.

It takes about Almost halfway through the film before the actual meat of the plot develops, And even then it starts to immediately come across really forced and awkward.

The background music isn't awful.

Sound comes off ok, but there are still some scenes where it feels like they spoke too loud for the mic and went over Audio levels. I'm not a sound mixer, but I know there's a term for that.

It's very unimaginative. Using the Arkham name, the Necronomicon, even giving off a vibe of some cabin in the woods movie with a betrayer-mechanic. All of which is done very blandly. An excellent example is when they discover the Necronomicon, going like this:

{girl enters room} "Whoa. Is that a book? It says it's the Necronomicon." ...yup.

I saw a relationship go from zero to, "let's move to New York and start our own company together" In the span of 30 minutes. It felt "real natural".

The good thing I can say about the movie is, it's short.

I think a character died as I was typing some of this out, and I had no idea. It was that uneventful.

I've seen bad movies. I've seen worst movies than this. But I've never seen a bad movie like this. So I guess that makes it special. But, despite what the students here want everyone to think, being special is not always a good thing.

Even drinks don't help this one :s That said, Here is what I could come up with: 2 sips: * Solid black screen scene change *Badly delivered line

3 sips: * Introduction of new character * Loss of character *"Horror scene" *social commentary

5 sips: * forced drama/group argument

Shots: *Start of film *30 minute mark *any time you notice an actor/actress smiling during what should be a tense/scary scene

I think everyone would need to come up with their own rules to add on, because this movie goes by really fast and you can't get drunk fast enough.

What you get: nice old mansion, crap story, horrible acting, special effects dating back to the 80s The idea for this movie is not too bad. The synopsis sounded interesting enough to me. It raises expectations the movie can't deliver.

Who casted these guys as actors? This is sometimes so bad that it gets funny. I have seen a lot better in music videos or even TV commercials for breakfast cereals. Who wrote the dialogues? Repetitive and boring. They talk so much about things nobody would ever find interesting.

What actually happens for 40 min is close to nothing. How is that even possible? They could have elaborated on the old mansion, on the story or on the characters. Thos is a whole new dimension of boring.

There was one scene with really outstanding visual effects. You get books flying around. That was so bad. Even adjusting them on a rope and moving the rope with the books would have been more impressive. I haven't seen something like that in ages.

So much potential wasted here. Do yourself a favour, go to the dentist, clean the filter of your vacuum cleaner or check if your vaccinations are up to date. Can think of so many other things I wouldn't like to do rather than having to watch that film again.

I give 1 for story idea and 1 for everybody involved to finish a project like that.

The film is introduced as if it is going to be a found footage film. It is not, just poorly framed and shot. A group of students from Miskatonic University (HP Lovecraft "Re-animator" fictional university) decide to film inside the haunted Goodwin house that had three "witches". PLOT SPOILER: Individuals become possessed for a short period and attack another in the group.

The film stars Madeleine Heil who will be appearing in "Clowntergeist" a film whose name I just love. I will give Madeleine credit, who poured her heart out into this film. Unfortunately the special effects didn't go beyond black and white film footage and contact lenses. The film attempted a few light moments that didn't work. The dialogue needed improvement and the off and on random possession didn't pan out. The film actually got more boring during the climax scenes when you realize, "this is it." Guide: No sex or nudity. I don't recall any swearing
