Way too slow. Acting was so-so. I think it was a good concept but the storyline did not do it justice.

Plot summary
Kyle Cole returns home to the town of Kaler Mills. He hasn't been back in 10 years since the people of the town turned on him believing that he was responsible for his brothers death. His brother, Ryan Cole, was the beloved "fair haired boy" of Kaler Mills. Loved by all, hated by none. After his death in a tragic farm accident a video was released that made it seem that Kyle could have prevented his brothers death. Now, armed with a documentary crew, Kyle has returned to face his demons. But he forgot about one of them... This is an 80's style creature feature with a modern twist. Made with practical effects and classic stop motion monster techniques, The Dooms Chapel Horror will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end.

Found footage horror is all set-up and little pay-off
THE DOOMS CHAPEL HORROR is another local horror film, this time made in Kentucky. It takes the form of a found footage movie which sees a character returning to his home town after a historical tragedy caused him to leave. He soon discovers a mysterious conspiracy and nameless horror lurking in the place he once called home.
I was expecting plenty from this movie, judging by the intriguing description and box art, but what I got was not very much. It's another film which is all about talk and set-up with very little in the way of pay-off. The high-quality look of the production works against it, making it look more unconvincing and home-made, and I was actually hoping for a bit of grain here and there. The overbearingly loud music laid over the action doesn't help very much. The conspiracy angle of the story isn't bad but the leads are unsympathetic and the characterisation poor.
Caught him with the giant Jell-o mold
Kyle Cole (Easton Lee McCuiston/Austin Madding) likes to film everything instead of helping his All-American brother Ryan (William Ryan Watson) who gets caught in some farm equipment and is ripped to shreds. The townsfolk blame Kyle who goes and lives with his aunt. Tanner (Shaun Gerardo) is filming a documentary and they decide to do a Kyle homecoming along with his girlfriend Mandy who also got kicked out of drama school. Kyle is not welcomed by everyone and we discover a cult run by Jordan (Bill Oberst Jr.) that was not well defined, but it did have a book and a seal.
Austin Madding and Shaun Gerardo were laughably bad in their performance. We don't get to see the thing from the quarry except for large green hands. This seemed more like a "how not to make a found footage film." Was Tanner filming all those people getting attacked? Was he filming Kyle in the woods the same time as he was filming the town of Kaler Mills (Paducah, Kentucky) ? Guide: F-word, brief sex, brief nudity (Julie Howard)
