Hangman

Honestly I thought this movie was pretty dumb. It was very slow and in the end we were given no explanation as to why the intruder does what he does. You find out at the very beginning that this is something he has done before, but why? I don't like movies that don't offer a motive. It was boring, too. Basically just a guy watching a family inside their house and doing little things, like spitting in their juice, just to screw with them. There are also a few scenes showing the intruder sobbing, but once again, why? We are given zero background on this guy. The premise of the movie was good, but it fell flat for me.

First off, I am a huge fan of horror and, in particular, found footage films (and even more so, indie films). Despite having these kind of films on my radar, I'd actually never heard of this one (apparently it was straight-to-video). That proved to be a double-edge sword on this one. The upside to that was so I had no real expectations, short of the trailer. The downside is that I didn't read any reviews before renting...PROS: This is very well shot by whoever the cinematographer was, with great audio (important in this film, as it was in Paranormal Activity). Also, the cast are all excellent actors. Each turns in a convincing performance, which is rare in these low budget FF movies. Also, the setup for this, plot-wise, is, while not novel (this movie's been done many times - 388 Arletta Ave being a recent example) is still interesting. There are also a couple of creepy moments.CONS: 1) Plenty of unrealistic scenes. 2) The characters are shallow as written, the inexplicably tantrum-throwing "villain" is otherwise unremarkable and dull, 3) and the ending... I was going to post a SPOILER ALERT, but, unfortunately, here's where's the film dies out - there's nothing to spoil. The ending is a huge, huge letdown. 4) It's essentially a film in two parts. The beginning and middle and... then it kind of just goes on with the same events over and over. There's a guy hiding in the house, watching. That's about it. So, the setup is good, but it just slowly dies out in the last 20 minutes.All in all, I would wait for this one to pop up on Netflix or Prime - definitely - and not spend $5 to rent it. Save it for a smarter version, such as 388 Arletta Avenue. If you've seen that movie, this one's almost exactly the same. But, where you felt a sense of investment in the Nick Stahl's character, you won't get that here. The only difference here is this bad guy sleeps in the attic.Hardcore FF fans may enjoy the first 2/3 of the movie enough to be happy they rented it, but I definitely can't recommend it.

This is a middle of the road horror movie with an unimaginative premise but great acting.The sound is absolutely terrible. In addition to using loud noises to create tension (the cheapest of horror movie tricks) but I'd guess that about thirty minutes of the movie has no audio except the antagonists breathing - LOUD. Sometimes it's wet and phlegmy, sometimes it has an annoying whistle but it's always gross and annoying. I can't believe it made it all the way past a final edit and into release with that intact. Bad editor and\or bad director.

This movie is filmed by the killers cell phone. The whole freaking movie. I couldn't watch the whole thing because that type of filming is hugely distracting and annoying.

Disturbing, creepy, and no justice. While the acting was good, and one of the less irritating 'found footage' films, there are no themes or plot, underdeveloped script, and in the end, a repulsion felt at the lack of justice in life.

Just finished this and I think I'm going to need to go somewhere and think happy thoughts for awhile. This really creeped me out! If you're a fan of horror and found footage, this is prime material! I'll probably be thinking about this one for days.

I wasted over an hour of my life on this pathetic excuse of a movie. You're telling me that you wouldn't SMELL someone right next to you? That you wouldn't *feel* something wrong? Thank goodness I was in a group call watch party when I viewed this, because it's the only thing that kept me going!!!!!!!!!!So many different things happened that were never circled back? Why is he snotty-crying in the attic? I'm confused? I don't understand the point. Is he uploading the footage to the Dark Web? Can the people that wrote this movie please contact me because I. Need. Answers. DO NOT WATCH. It is NOT worth. How do I un-watch this?

The raw filming made it feel that much more realistic. There were issues with the movie but uniqueness made it that much more interesting. If you are into suspenseful nice this could be a good fit even though it is polarizing to many. The acting was good and not too slow of a pace so it keeps your interest.

_0 what a load of absolute Dribble.5*s (was 5hey watching the same film l wasted money on) a man breaks into a house ,lives there why family on hol , sets up camera,s so he can watch them when they come home , (they do every day things eat sleep av sex) corrr the excitement l fell asleep , T here was no explanation why he was doin what he was doin/or who he was , or at least a policeman trying to find nut killing people ,something interesting ,!! Crap.

I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, but nothing really happens, there is no drama, no gore, no tension...the only thing the movie has is the 'it would be horrible to be that family'. Thats it, loads of better horror films out there, I would personally say avoid. I like budget horrors too, but this is trying to be Blair witch meets paranormal activity...and does a poor job of it.

Not sure how anyone could say it was good. Its boring, tedious and completely unbelievable. Obviously some films are fantasy and clearly fiction but this just makes the entire family seem abit docile, if you watch it you will see what I mean But the only reason I didnt turn it off is because I just moved house and have no internet or ariel. But best advice? Dont waste your money or your time, it's a terrible film.

OK But a little unlikely someone can live in your house for so long and the family not notice!

The item arrived quicker than expected and it was absolutely perfect value for money.
