Hard to Believe That This Exists

[theodore62 · 1/10 · 6 October 2018]

This short movie, if you can call it a movie, consists of a four-way split screen at about the video quality of an ordinary security system. To say that this movie is bad does nothing to describe just how pointless and awful it truly is. Nothing happens, nothing is of interest, and the end is not even an end. I realize that we live in a time when nothing means anything, but this is worse than the worst home movie. How is this thing even a thing?

Wasted Potential

Telling a story of an Alien encounter through a 4 way split screen mimicking the security cameras - a clever take on found footage. It would work well for a short but this is just way too long - over an hour of crackling screens and overlapped mundane conversations with nothing really happening with the aliens and everything so drawn out and slow, it just doesn't work and it's way too long. Maybe if there was a complex plot or fleshed out characters but there's nothing. There's no plot beyond alien encounter on cctv told on 4 split screens. Some people walk around and some aliens lurk in the corner of one screen but it's mostly people having a very scripted boring party and you feel like you're watching someone else's home videos. That is when the camera is working and not crackling and distorting which is about 1/3 of the whole thing. It's a good idea but it needs to be about half the length and have a better story.

Who?

...would possibly have enough time on their hands to sit through this whole movie? I skipped through and still felt like I completely wasted my time. With so much content competing for attention, I just, I dunno. The idea is not totally bad, but man there is just not enough going on. One charity star.

Interesting idea

I liked the basic idea of this movie and there was couple interesting soundfx that I liked, and thats why I give one extra star. This was too long, and boring. If there was more action, it would have been better and more interesting. Sometimes, when people came out of the room, they came from different ends of the corridor. Not very careful work.

Wow....just wow!

Totally not in a good way either. Im probably among the biggest "found footage" horror fans around. I usually enjoy them all at least the 1st tine watching them. In fact i have over 100 FF horror movies in my collection. This, this movie (if were even calling it one) was a travesty. The description for it on the INDb page was the best part. I read it amd instantly dropped what i was doing to watch it. So much promise for a FF movie and a fan of them. Then i watched it. 53 minutes of nothing. Then something minor finally happened and the rest of the movie was back to being nothing but boring banter. Ugh! I beg of you not to watch this movie. It has no good qualities. Use the hour (if you could even make it that long) to soend with your kids instead. Go fly a kite or take a nap. It will be more usefull amd entertaining than this pile of poo. I nvr leave reviews for movies. Im not a movie expert or critic. Nor do i claim to be. That said anyone who watches this after reading my review only deserves the torture they recieve. Blah.

The most bizarre and cheapest movie probably to exist

[jamessmith-69578 · 3/10 · 13 May 2020]

This well... movie I guess is a very slow paste and boring movie. And I also got a dvd for £21.00!! I think it does a good ish job at the eerie bits but it is so so so boring. If you want to see a fast paste action sci fi b movie about aliens and robots, check out alien dawn or eyeborgs and death machine. But for what it was, it was somewhat watchable.

Nope

Probably the laziest, eventless, cheapest piece of garbage I've ever had the displeasure of wasting an hour and a half on. The aliens were just people in costumes. No special effects what so ever. First hour, absolutely nothing happens. If I could rate this 0 stars I would, as 1 is generous. Do NOT waste your time on this. You will be disappointed, I promise you.

VERY Disappointed. I honestly don't know how I even sat through the whole thing. But, you know.. You get half way through a movie, you kinda have to finish it.. 0/10

Who put up the money for this

[surfingnaked1 · 1/10 · 9 October 2018]

I never given any movies a 1 but this deserves. I turned the sound off and did some work thinking it had to get better but it did not!

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians of movies....

[scottdeal · 1/10 · 12 January 2022]

Trust me on this.... go stab a fork in your eyes..........then drink some bleach. It will be more enjoyable. One star based on the sole fact that I need to type one hundred and fifty characters.

The Aliens...

[sventempest · 1/10 · 25 March 2023]

... Are just dudes in black boiler suits and a cheap halloween mask.

Even played at double speed, the movie is ponderously glacial slow. Conceptually fine, but in reality it's just voices overlapping each other boiler suit guys in masks wandering about in the parking lot and eventually a climax of static.

I don't even consider this a spoiler, because there's maybe 5 minutes of events here stretched out to over an hour in desperate attempt to build suspense.

I have 137 characters left to use and nothing else to say about the film. So... I think it's for free on YouTube right now? But even free is too much.

Somebody has to give this a 10!!!

[Barebower · 10/10 · 13 September 2020]

Om my freaking god...I'm very open-minded and can try to find to positive in most things but this movie (if that is indeed what it was) was 75 minutes of my life that I'm never going to get back. And I think that that is the actual point of the movie...to make something so utterly bad that it captivates you for the entire time. So 10 stars for that. This movie is so bad that my internet connection dropped out at the 50 minute mark and I continued watching a frozen screen for another 5 minutes thinking that it was part of the movie (how stupid am I???) But having said that the frozen screen was every bit as interesting as the rest of the movie... Nothing happens for 30 minutes, then another 15 minutes until something else happens and then it settles in at around 60 minutes for the final boring 15 minutes where not much happens... The ending is truly unforgettable... The only possible way to enjoy this movie would be to: 1. Get blind drunk; then 2. Smoke a joint; then 3. Eat a magic mushroom; then 4. Tale some LSD; then 5. Watch something else... This movie should never have been made, never released and absolutely never shown. It is so utterly devoid of entertainment that I cannot recommend it highly enough. Everybody should watch this movie so that they can fully understand the concept of alien abductions and 'missing time'. I'm missing 89 minutes of my life having watched it.
