“You know when you watch a movie and you constantly yell at the characters because they do everything wrong? Yeah, this movie is one of those.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHereu0026#39;s the premise: A group of people get to film an old lady in the struggle of an early diagnosed Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease. Her behavior is getting worse really fast, but it seems something else is going on with her, something evil…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJill Larson is the best actress in the movie. She really nails her character. Anne Ramsay follows, then the rest of the acting is okay I guess.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow, the problem with this movie is mainly about rational behavior of the characters. You know, when you are looking for someone confused in the house, it works better with the lights on. But here noooo, that wouldnu0026#39;t be scary enough. The group could also make sure to tell her they are coming and are looking for her, but it feels like they are almost hiding from her. Then when we find the lost lady or something scary, we also get a bonus unrelated scary sound, to make sure the jump scares are effective. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome scenes can get pretty exciting sometimes, but donu0026#39;t hope to find anything extraordinary with this movie, youu0026#39;d be disappointed. If youu0026#39;re looking for a barely decent found footage/mockumentary flick, you can give this one a chance. Just donu0026#39;t think too much about logic in this movie, because it is pretty much inexistent.”
