A-Zupreme A man hires an odd group of filmmakers to help him with The Monster Project, a documentary where he interviews three people who truly believe that they're monsters in today's society. The production, of course, takes place at a boarded-up house used for satanic rituals back in the 60s. On the night of a lunar eclipse, no less. While everyone who has ever seen a horror movie would see something seriously wrong with this scenario, this group thinks they're just making a film and press on to get their interviews. That is until all Hell breaks loose and they're fighting for survival. Oops.Has it been done before? Yes, but we all come back again and again for more scares so I can't knock the story for being a bit cliché. The effects were really good and easily the best part of this movie. The acting was serviceable, with the exception of one cast member (not saying who) who overacted a bit. I will say that I was most impressed with Toby Hemingway and Yvonne Zima, and I found the interaction between their characters strangely compelling and effective. Even the 'found-footage' device was handled fairly well.The horror genre in general is a tough one to rate. On one hand, some movies are so well done and scary that it's hard not to rate them high. On the other, some are just entertaining and fun. The Monster Project falls a bit more into the latter camp in that it's a well-made movie that gets a lot right, but unfortunately it just doesn't have that scare factor I was hoping for. It doesn't appear to sell itself as a comedy, so I suspect that they were going for a truly scary experience but I just wasn't feeling it for some reason. I can't hate on it though. I can tell a lot of heart and passion went into this, and I want to thank the crew for making a good movie.6 out of 10.

mykemirage I honestly cannot find it in myself to ever watch this movie ever again. I would rather eat something rotten that gives me horrendous diarrhea and sit on the toilet for 24 hours than endure this movie's hour and a half run-time again.In terms of the acting, the only one who I felt did a good job was Yvonne Zima who plays Shayla the Vampire. Her interview in the movie was the best.Besides that, the only other good thing I can say about this film was the slight plot twist which I honestly didn't see coming. Yet I contribute not seeing it coming to the fact that I was too busy focusing on the garbage that was presented in front of me.The CGI looked like it came straight from SnapChat filters. The "scares" were cheap and dumb. The movie starts off with one, but that doesn't really count and then the rest of the "scares" don't come in until about 53 minutes in. The movie is 98 minutes long. Meaning that it doesn't start the "scares" until about 54% of the way in. From that point on, you can imagine what happens: scares, scares, shaky camera work, lots of running, scares. And of course, because the CGI was completely laughable, not once did I feel scared. My heartbeat didn't even rise.The one scene that probably infuriated me the most is that they place the camera on the ground to fight one of the monsters and we don't see this happening. Instead, we're shown a shadow puppet theater of it happening. That's right: we see it from the shadows fighting off and stabbing the monster. Seriously? You give us the usual bad shaking camera perspective and then can't even show us what's truly happening.Just a plain bad film overall. Would not recommend for ANYONE to watch.

briz_boy_10 I first saw this film advertised on the IMDb homepage so decided to check it out after finding the trailer really interesting. Ever since the Blair Witch Project the hand held 'real life' camera method has always given the film an air of mystery as we don't always tend to see what the character sees. However, I can assure you this film is different and doesn't just build up anti-climatic suspense. The film contains a group of adults wanting to make a documentary about different kinds of monsters to bump up views for their YouTube page when they're contacted by volunteers to give interviews, whilst the crew initially brush the claims off as ridiculousness, they soon start to change their beliefs.The premise is interesting and the film starts that way too even if it is a little slow to get into. A film like this shouldn't really go over the 80 minute mark but what you gonna do?There are a few jump scares and once the 'chaos' kicks in it does get really intense. The first 2/3 of the film are the most suspenseful and intriguing parts but come the final third act, we are left with that unfulfilling feeling of emptiness and predictability that these camcorder films tend to conjure up. Overall, its a fun little film to watch with your friends on a weekend night for a few scares, but it's not a film that will leave a trace in your memory. 5/10
