"Hey! Let's make a movie about about a haunted asylum swarming with ghosts of the patients and a mad doctor who worked there, but let's make it in found footage style and fill it with jumpscares instead of legit scares!" This practically sums the whole movie up. Instead of being fast, fun and filled with tension like the first two parts of "Rec", movie drags and feels slow and boring. Feeling of dread is present, but often completely destroyed by people running, screaming, camera shaking and video stuttering. I mean, you have that amazing location with a good background and you can do all sorts of stuff with it, but no, you go for jumpscares... It feels cheap and you can clearly see it was movie made for the teen audience who want to watch something scary at their party. I give it 6/10, just for the atmosphere, which can be good, but is ruined by rest of the movie. I don't really recommend it, but, hey, you do what you need to do, fellow horror movie fan...
