Not buying it

Rating: 2/10 (14 April 2017)

The basic outset is all-right. I started watching on Netflix assuming this was a murder story and found the build-up to about 50 minutes to be somewhat interesting and acting quite good.
But when the clearly "supernatural" made it's first appearance, in 2 video windows on the author's (Ethan Hawke) computer display I lost interest in the plot and I got rather angry too. Fusing horror and murder stories can be done in a good way — just look at "Pan's Labyrinth" — but spirits pushing pixels? Please It's so BORING! Anyone with a computer can push pixels around. How's that supernatural?
Why the anger? Well, killing people is something some other actual living people do. That's a scary story if told well as we know this can and do happen. Any supernatural aspect to this need to be sold to the audience. This movie totally fails selling the basic premise of the story it wants to tell. The experiences leading up to that supposedly "supernatural" moment was not convincing at all, so this "spirit edited" video just came off as cheap. Again, so BORING"!!!!! I can't finish boring movies. With so much compelling material to watch instead this is a must go. I regret wasting 50 minutes.
Give me something to be scared of. Don't give me something checking the bullet points of Scott's imagined "scary movie". Bye Scott Derrickson! You're out.
