PretentiousInternetMan It's a brilliant idea to present a found footage film as a documentary as it gives a reason for the footage to be FOUND and EDITED in an entertaining way. This is an entertaining film for nearly 70 minutes but the last 10 minutes are horrible. I will not spoil this film for you but it's an entertaining ride with an extremely weak payoff. This isn't the fantastically well written film that many other reviews claim that it is, which you will notice in the end when suddenly little of the film makes any sense. Just understand before you get into this that the movie is a lot of fun most the time with a weak ending. I'd recommend it to anyone who is bored of conventional horror movies; if you're looking for a memorable experience, I'd look elsewhere.

MattBirk While the ending is where all the excitement is, the lead up is a slow 65 minutes of clichéd genre tropes. 'The Blair Witch Project' succeeded as a found footage, because it built up tension throughout the whole movie, and brought a harrowing and memorable ending; 'The Conspiracy' does neither of these. There are far better found footage movies out there (even though I am very anti-found footage), most notably 'Noroi: The Curse', 'The Blair Witch Project', 'V/H/S 2', 'Clover Field', and 'Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon'.Full Review at: http://www.simplefilmreviews.com/2014/07/the-conspiracy-2012_30.html

suite92 Aaron and Jim get to know Terrance, a colorful conspiracy theorist. They were gearing up to do a documentary film with Terrance as the center when Terrance disappears, and his apartment is rifled.Aaron and Jim are galvanized, and pursue Terrance's interests. Their investigation leads them to research the Tarsus Club, the 'New World Order,' and the cult of Mithras, which stretches back quite far in history. Jim has a wife and child to keep him centered, but ends up continuing with the effort to find the elusive 'truth.' Clips from an interview with a psychiatrist sprinkled throughout the film are another grounding mechanism, and a warning of bad things to come.The pair manage to get into a meeting of the Tarsus Club. Their recording devices were on tie-clips, and the results were correspondingly unimpressive.The Tarsus Club does a good job of scaring Aaron and Jim. Afterwards, Jim gets to go to a recorded meeting with an official of the Tarsus Club. The spin or the truth? Which one gets delivered more by the film?-----Scores-----Cinematography: 5/10 The film is filmed in both hand-held and more standard camera techniques. The found-film part does not add anything, but does subtract a bit. The segment concerning the Mithras cultist meeting was particularly visually poor. The vignette filter cut off a chunk of the screen; faces were blurred out; over all resolution was VHS-style grainy; the smoke was good at cutting down on clarity.Sound: 6/10 Adequate; I can usually understand the dialog. Voices were disguised during the outdoor initiation meeting of the Tarsus club.Acting: 5/10 Giving the benefit of the doubt.Screenplay: 6/10 The ending ties together the rest of the film nicely.
