Leofwine_draca IN MEMORIUM is one of the found footage horror flicks that came out in the wake of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. This one predates PARANORMAL ACTIVITY but is made on a very, very low budget with barely anything happening throughout, which means that it's a gruelling experience in terms of boring. A guy is diagnosed with a terminal disease, sets up loads of cameras around his house, and spots a ghost on one of them. That's all there is to it.

DireWolfCurse In Memorium is a found footage film just like most of the others. Dennis is a newly-diagnosed cancer patient who moves in with his girlfriend Lily to a creepy house so that he may document the remainder of his days. He gives a guided tour of the house on camera, going through every room one-by-one. The only notable items are run-down swimming pool in the back and a creepy hallway with a "sitting room" at the end, which he does not enter. The rest of the movie is very predictable. Throughout the film, Dennis begins to blood profusely out his mouth and ends up with some pretty nasty sores on his back and around his mouth. In fact, there is so much blood in the bathroom at one point, it could be confused with A Nightmare on Elm Street. The actors playing Dennis and Lily weren't terrible. The dialogue wasn't even that bad. Dennis's brother Frank, however, was annoying (he was supposed to be). The scares weren't that scary. It was really the sounds that made the movie in this case. There was a sound near the swimming pool that made me wonder if I had actually even heard a sound. It was well done. The story went from mildly boring to ridiculous toward the end when we figure out who is haunting the couple. The ending made me wonder why I wasted my time with the film to begin with. After the last 15 minutes of the movie, I don't think I would recommend this one to anyone unless they absolutely love the found-footage genre and refuse to take no for an answer and must watch every single one ever made.

HorrorBuff235 There is an abundance of found footage films as we all know of late. Personally I would like to see an original film that has the potential to give me goosebumps and question whether I want to go downstairs and let the dog out at 1am. However, I did find myself intrigued by this film (despite the acting from the younger brother), what started off as a typical haunted house mystery becomes more of a supernatural revenge story. The chemistry between the couple seemed to work well and the director did a good job in making the story believable enough to lose yourself in and actually care about what the outcome would be for the main protagonists. Plus I don't think I've ever been as attracted to a guy who is vomiting blood before - think he brings a vulnerability I wasn't expecting. Generally not a bad film, I found myself wanting to see where it was going to take me and although not very scary I still enjoyed it.

ninjaactiongrip I'm usually not one for a film I would call formulaic, crap like the J-horror rip offs or stupid gore fest revival makes me gag. But this movie, well, I have never seen an audience jump and grab onto each other like they did in this one. For an indie movie made in the director's own house (yes, her own house), the acting is pretty good, the camera work is impressive and the pacing is excellent. The complete absence of a score makes this even more all to real. Had the chance to talk to Amanda and she is not 100% on this film getting picked up and released, but I hope for the sake of all of you out there it does, you will love it and it will haunt your dreams for days.
