The audio is so horrible it is unbearable. This movie is literally impossible to watch. Not because of the footage.... but because the audio of the movie has white noises and garbled sounds purposefully inserted into it to give the impression it is found footage from messed up cameras. Why didn't someone in the sound department tell the director how bad of an idea this is??? I had to turn the volume down almost to the point where I can barely hear the film because randomly unbearable loud noises would appear out of nowhere. This is ridiculous. 18 minutes into the film it is the worst audio I have ever heard in a movie, PERIOD. But then 2 minutes later it actually topped itself with even worse audio. WHY?!? Oh my God this is atrocious. This is egregious to the art of cinema. Manos Hands of Fate sounds 10x better than this movie. Can you imagine??? Wow. I hate to be an extremist with a 1/10 rating when clearly the video is good (except for the random video artifacts that are also inserted to give the impression the cameras are messed up), and the story is good too! And the male lead actor genuinely seems like an over-the-top angry perverted murderer. But the audio in this movie is so horrible this movie deserves the lowest rating possible. 1/10. HORRIBLE!! Make sure your TV is turned down if you watch this movie or else you might blow your speakers and destroy your equipment.

OK, so...it's an interesting film. The actors that play the couple are pretty good, they definitely appear eccentric.My gripe with this film and why it gets a low score is the god damned garbled 10 times louder junk sound that plays when a specific camera is on.The film claims to be a film edited together from a bunch of found footage by an actual film maker so it just really grates on me that this supposed film maker would just leave this ridiculously way way louder noise in, like, he wouldn't turn the noise down or just cut the noise out because you literally can't hear ANYTHING that isn't this garbled noise. I am aware that this isn't a true story and that it's meant to feel like found footage but just.. WHY?!

This movie is unique in the way it is filmed. If you are squeamish or have a weak stomach, don't watch it. This movie is in the top ten of the most sickening movies I have ever seen. If you like gore, torture, murder, and blood, this movie is for you. I love scary, gore type movies but, this is hard to watch. I gave it a 7 out of ten just because, the way the plot and filming are. I've never seen anything close to this. I'm sick of all the "Blair witch" type movies where, a group of people film a haunted asylum, and get picked off one by one while filming it. This will blow your mind. You must have a hard, strong stomach to watch this. Good luck.

A perverted couple try to produce their nightmare home-movie, featuring the murder of three lost souls.Wow. Far from perfect, but the degree of perversion is extreme. The couple are well played, but it would have been better if the actors learned their lines then ditched the script and riffed off each other - instead the characters are intimate but a bit stilted, and I guess having the writer/director in the lead role broke the rhythm. Script-wise, the end is nice and ambiguous, but the emphasis should have stayed with the couple to round out their story.There is a huge mistake in the coyness over sex - some directness was needed - even one intense scene would have done the job. And some opportunities for disturbing gore were turned down. So another barrier for the audience. I guess that's why so few horror fans took notice.This is a POV cam film (not much shaky stuff) so bear that in mind. Editing is good, pace good, and it crosses the line in a brisk 73 mins. Mood claustrophobic, music is barely noticeable, sound mostly natural, but maybe too much scratchy interference in the effort to create unsettling atmosphere.Overall, a weird and interesting exploitation film that held itself back for no good reason.
