While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

a documentary-style found footage film by the writer/director of Holliston and the Hatchet slasher series. i'd heard good things about the monster design and make-up, but wasn't very impressed. the monsters get only a few seconds a piece of shaky-camera screen time and are actually pretty cartoonishly goofy-looking if you pause on them the movie suffers a bit from the shaky camera syndrome typical of its genre — there's a point where the crew is sitting in the woods at night, waiting for a monster to appear, and when one of them points to a shape moving through the trees, the camera guy focuses literally everywhere but where the character is pointing. i can only imagine it was done on purpose to parody the genre style, and the actors were laughing about it behind the scenes the story is imaginative and compelling, and Ray Wise, as detective William Dekker who invites director Adam Green to witness and record proof of the existence of monsters, is a great actor and storyteller. my favourite scenes are the ones where Adam and the film crew are just sitting in Dekker's house, recording his stories of past encounters with and illustrations of monsters from a subterranean metropolis he calls The Marrow i like the film despite it's flaws and wouldn't mind a sequel picking up exploration, where this one ends rather abruptly, of The Marrow and its inhabitants. recommended for fans of found footage monster movies

I'm a little torn on this one. On one hand it's very well made, everything looks very authentic. Well, except from the fact that one very important role is filled by a rather well known actor. Because you see: this is made like a documentary (mocumentary if you will), and it is very well made. It is pretty believable and "realistic"-looking. Alright, you get that this is a scripted movie, but you sort of forget it from time to time, too. So good job on that, movie!I didn't find it scary, and there are not that many parts that are meant to be scary either. But I would still have liked a little more horror. As a matter of fact, the parts where stuff goes down, I think they could have been a lot better. Seems kind of random.Most of the cast plays themselves, and they do an overall good job. To sum up: nothing great, but a pretty easy watch.

Horror is my favorite genre of movies, unfortunately for me, because there really just aren't that many good, watchable, horror movies produced and released - by watchable, I mean it holds your attention enough you WANT to see what happens, and you're not just watching it because you don't want to turn it off (which I've done, a lot) halfway through because it sucks so bad it just isn't entertainment, it's torture. (An idea for a horror movie maybe?Torture as in strapped to a chair and made to watch horrible horror movies with your eyelids taped open) This held my interestenough to watch it straight through, mostly because certain scenes had great potential, but it was never realized. There isn't any gore, but there really is a creep factor - the "Monster Hunter" comes off at first as an eccentric man, perhaps a bit (well, a lot) fixated on the subject - the 2 guys who are making the film are believable, and play themselveswell. The idea behind it is kind of cool, but there just aren't enough scenes (none, really) that will make you jump out of your chair, leave the lights on when you go to bed, or make the hair rise on the back of your neck. It's a watchable movie, certainly worth the $2.99 rental on Amazon, but not good enough to see in a theater. The ending of the movie had some good potential, but, it ends with lots of unresolved questions. Bottom line: Unambitious, had a lot of unrealized potential, but it still entertaining. Don't rent it expecting to be totally freaked out - it just really isn't that kind of movie, but interesting enough to sit through. The film makers give the impression that they couldn't decide how to end it, and as a result, it had potential to be great ending, but they just didn't flesh it out enough. I like indie horror movies - some are awesome - WER, an indie flick, was one of the best werewolf movies I've seen in recent years for example, but this just is middle of the road.

Com'on fellows this was--- How can i put this a bad film . It had no climax i't just continuously kept spinning me around waiting for it to make a point .Like that old dead or alive song YOU GOT ME SPIN SPIN BABY LIKE A RECORD BABY SPIN SPIN SPIN SPINNING LIKE A RECORD BABY. DAM I MEAN WHEN YOUR WIFE'S 5 MINUTE CAMEO WAS THE HIGH LITE OF THE FILM.i VIEWED THIS MOVIE OVER A THREE DAY PERIOD. iT WAS LIKE HAVING TO TO CLEAN OUT MY BASEMENT AFTER A FLOOD .DON'T WANT TO CLEAN THE BASEMENT BUT THE SMELL OF MOLD MAKES YOU DO IT JUST TO GET IT OVER WITH' AND I KNOW THAT PRODUCING A FILM AIN'T THE EASIEST THING IN THE COSMOS TO DO.HOPE YOU MADE SOME MONEY OFF THIS THING BECAUSE I BELIEVE YOU HAVE IT IN YOU TO DO SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING.Spend some money on the monster stuff ,spend 2 dollars on the sets.I know you figured you might get lucky and have a blair witch project on your hands.I was hoping you and the camera guy got it to a fist fight or you found a half eaten dog or something were was the tension or stress .last thing ...If you try to make babies the way you make movies your mother is never going to be a grand parent.
