Excellent watch, as is to be expected from Asian horror.
Absolutely amazing movie. Brought back that thrill of horror movies that I was looking for after watching tons of hooror movies for years.
I found this really scary!! Not normally looking away during horror but this was frightening. Found footage aspect worked well, I liked the characters and the time spent introducing them. There were jump scares, a building sense of doom and terror and a decent ending. Really very good
Well made movie again shows the fact that asian horrors v Usa horrors I prefer Asian style.
Legit scary. A must for any found footage fan. SPOILERS BELOW Wish the film played more with the 'are they or are they not faking things' angle and showed less of the 'pals hanging out' section at the start.
