Never bought into the gimmick

Rating: 4/10 (28 March 2014)

Katie (Katie Featherston) and Micah (Micah Sloat) are a young couple who just moved into their new suburban house only to find that strange things keep happening. They bring in a psychic and set up security cameras.
It's a haunted house horror with a good dose of 'Blair Witch' realism. This movie is about the advertising campaign more than the movie. If the audience actually believe in its realism, then this would be a great viewing experience. The fact is that I never believed, and the 'real' found footage is not compelling for me. The acting is amateurish. The camera work is flat and boring. There is never any real/unreal tension for me. Strip that away. There isn't much of a scary story that hasn't been done zillions of times before and done better.
