I went into this film with low expectations. The last few found footage ghost movies I had seen had been less than great. Then I watched this. I went immediately watched it again that night with my daughter, then a couple of nights later with my whole family.
The story is tightly written and the action keeps pace nicely without feeling rushed. The characters are as well developed as you can get in an hour and a half horror film. They each get their own time to shine, their own issues, relationships, etc. The acting is much better than one usually finds in low budget indie horror. The scares are great and subtle, and that creeping feeling of dread keeps you on the edge of your seat. The effects are all practical, which is fantastic and a fresh change of pace with some of the badly CGI'd ghost effects out there.
I cannot wait to see what this group has for us next, because they are talented.
