This was far from the worst Found Footage movie I've seen but it was also far from the best. It doesn't do anything new, special, or interesting. It's just kind of there. Person with a film crew stays at a haunted hotel because he wants to build his brand. Bad things happen, and he wants to stay because his brand is really important. This has been done about a billion times in found footage movies and unfortunately it doesn't really do it that well.
First off, I had some major sound issues with this movie. The voices were super low and the music and various FX were super loud. It's not my setup, it was this movie. It made things really obnoxious because if I wanted to hear what the actors are saying, I had to turn the tv up very loud. Anytime the bad things started happening or the cliche camera glitches started happening, things got very *very* loud. And since I am on it-- the camera glitches. I love found footage movies but just stop it, ok? I can stomach adding a music score to your found footage movies, but stop it with the camera glitches every time something bad is about to happen.
Anyways, the main character is an incredibly unlikable social media influencer and that's kind of the point. The guy playing him does a decent enough job at this as does the rest of the cast. Nothing stands out, but at least they did a decent enough job there. The story is...well there's a twist at the end that lands with intensity of a wet noodle and there are a bunch of threads of things that happen at the hotel that goes nowhere.
This movie is basically a waste of your time, even if you're a very big fan of found footage movies. You've likely seen other movies that do the exact same thing this movie does but better.
