Description

In order to complete her medical PhD thesis, Mia Medina and her team record the everyday life of Deborah Logan (Jill Larson, Shutter Island), an elderly Alzheimer’s sufferer trapped in her secluded home by the woods. However as the study progresses, Deborah’s activity becomes more and more abnormal. The video captured rapidly transforms into terrifying evidence of the hair-raising occurrences that start to plague Mia and the crew. When inexplicable events and increasingly deadly circumstances reach an intolerable point, panic ensues. With the ever more disturbing footage and Deborah taking a malevolent turn, it quickly becomes sinisterly apparent that a horrifying evil far worse than the debilitating disease has taken control of her.

    I expected it to be a B-movie as I have never heard of it or seen anything about it before but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not the scariest movie but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend renting it over buying it as you’re probably not go back to it again
  • Weird and creepy 🧟‍♀️

    Can appear to be a little slow at times then throws you a curveball that has you glued to screen .. ending was unexpected & brilliantly written hence 5*
  • Ok for a horror choice

    This movie does have an original story but its very unoriginal when it comes to scary scenes. Everything is done by the book when trying to get a quick scary reaction from the viewer. I did enjoy the film though, and at 0.99 cents it definitely not a bad choice.
  • Glad I only wasted 99p

    On a horror mockumentary scale of 1 to 5, where para'snore'mal activity is a 1, and the excellent original subtitled Rec is a 5, this rates a poor 2. Relying heavily on jump scares with no sense of creeping unease, the only thing that saves this film from a score of 1 star is the better than average use of handheld/static shots and a great performance by the possessed mother. It's a shame because there's actually a decent story in there somewhere, it just never seems to be fully realised. Disappointing.
  • Terrifying!

    Brilliantly done, truly chilling and creepy. Acting was fantastic, and as others have said, this is "found footage done right”. One of the best horror films I have ever seen.
  • This film is weird...
