7/10
Really not a bad found footage entry.

Here's the deal. The biggest reason a lot of people hate round footage is it relies on gimmicks to push the narrative. Horror fans obviously have no issue with every other single horror movie relying on these same tropes. The difference is they most often show you everything. If you can suspect your disbelief and opem your mind found footage can be a fun experience! Such is the case with this film. No, you won't see blood or gore or really even any violence. Everything in this film is done through the art of suggestion, leaving the viewer to do a little imagination work. I actually prefer these kinds of films over seeing a baby lifted from a crib by an unseen entity. Don't show me...scare me. The actors here do a credible job and for the most part they are quite likeable. Once the action really begins to kick in you may find yourself caring about them other than groaning that, of course their cell phones don't work. You may be entertained if you would stop complaining that they are still filming. Just go with it and enjoy it for what it is. Plus homegirl had on a Wicked shirt. That's boss.
