I'm a huge fan of the found footage genre of horror movies. The bad part of this is, there are so few movies I would actually consider good in this growing branch of horror movies. This year I stumbled across this one and I am so glad I did! I love everything about this movie. It has just the right combinations of creepiness and gore to keep me interested. It doesn't try too hard to impress the audience. It does what movies should do, allow the viewer to go along for the ride while not hitting them over the head with information or trying too hard to scare them. I would recommend this movie to any horror fan. I will be permanently addlying this movie into my top 5 horror movies of all time. Love it!

What would be Halloween without a found-footage scare fest about a haunted house attraction? The setup is creepy with some genuinely good scares as things eventually go horribly wrong.

Really good storyline and concept This was a very well done film for what it is and certainly has some really intriguing and scary moments in it. It’s very basic but boy did they ever run it for every inch? You could get out of it and did sew in a very stylish fashion, I don’t think the follow-ups are good as this original version, but they are certainly worth the watch.
