Why so much hype?

That was an excellent one.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is a watchable film if you've got nothing better to do. Not a great film though!

In my opinion I found the move to be quite bearable. This quality of the movie wasn't bad and I found the acting at times to be embarrassing or choppy but nothing too bad to handle. This is the kind of movie where if you know what your getting into it's not bad at all. I would compare it to an Adam Sandler movie. If you walk into a Adam Sandler movie expecting it to be intellectual and thought provoking, then your watching the wrong movie. I came into this movie with low expectations and I found it to be a decent thriller that had you at some parts on the edge of your seat. I found the character of the old man to be funny with his murderous and dead faced looks to be amusing and unique. This movie is very similar to " The Good Neighbor " if you have ever seen that movie. The premise of these two movies are almost identical. The cons of the movie is the acting and the plot line are much to be desired and the ending is god awful but if you want a way to pass an hour and a half and you enjoy corny thrillers, than this is the movie for you.

A young couple move into their new home but their new neighbour takes prying to a whole new level. This film isn't going to win any awards for originality but it isn't a bad film for its genre. Neville Archambault is perfectly cast as the ultra creepy landlord. In his case you really can judge a book by it's cover. Although the pacing is maybe a little slow and repetitive it does at least build up the tension with a couple of really well done and creepy scenes. The film never really goes anywhere but the ending at least tries something different. This is just an OK film nothing special but not terrible either and being pretty short maybe worth watching once if you're at a loose end.

The villain in '13 Cameras' reminded me a lot of the villain in 'The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)', not just in terms of looks but personality as well. I liked him as an antagonist and I liked this guy too. The thing I liked the most about them ironically, is that there is zero to like about them. You know the second you are introduced to them that they are a bad person who is not to be rooted for. Charming villains have certain things going for them ('James Bond' wouldn't exist without them) but there is something about pure, unforgiving evil that is just so satisfying to watch.'13 Cameras' is a fun movie. It takes itself very seriously, and this is a good thing. I was shocked to see on IMDb that writer/director Victor Zarcoff was on debut here. While the film was far from technically perfect, it was pretty bloody good. The acting was also impressive throughout from the entire cast. The script manages to keep things fresh and exciting for the duration of the run time. Thing's certainly never got stale and you felt a need to know how this was all going to end. All in all this was a very pleasant surprise on a lazy Sunday night.
