I can't see through walls, but I can kick your ass.

I've seen quite a few "found footage" films.
Except for sequels in a series franchises (no Paranormal Activity beyond 1, same for Spanish "[Rec]" series).
While the genre has been exhausted by multiple movies among the same storyline (exorcisms had a huge run), this one actually gave me chills.
M. Night also has a great way to deliver half a movie with his recent works.
I think this one is definitely worth checking out.
It would be quite interesting to see how Shyamalan handles this filming style.

This one appears to have a proper mixture of both, and not entirely "Found Footage", at least that's the impression I get.
I like both Trailers, even though my expectations are not that high for any product out of him, but in keeping with his style, I'm sure he's going to throw in one of his trademark twist in the story.
Pure speculation on my part, but I'm guessing that I have an idea on the way the plot twist will unfold, and one of the clues might actually be in the Buddy Holly song "Everyday" used in the Domestic trailer.
This song was also used in "We Need to Talk About Kevin", anyone who has seen this film will get my drift, but it's strictly speculation.
Should be interesting......

Maybe M. Night will redeem himself with this.
His last couple of films were a disappointment to me I found.

Anyone going to see this?
Shyamalan started out well with Sixth Sense (although I guessed the ending and the twist not even 1/2 way thru the movie since it has been done before) and Unbreakable.
He did alright, just fair, with Signs and The Village.
Lady In The Water and The Happening put me to sleep in the movie theater.
Then he probably figured since he is on a success wagon, anything he touches WILL turn to Gold so he did The Last Airbender and the awfully ridiculous Last Earth which was in essence a case of nepotism:
Will Smith wanting his son to become famous just based on his name and relationship without starting at the bottom like all new actors in Hollywood.
I am not so sure about this.
Reviews are Mixed.
From the previews I've seen it just looked cliche plus the PG-13 rating doesn't cut it.
A good scary horror movie has to be R rated but without too much blood and gore or in the industry, they call it Torture Porn.
Finally from what I read online, this is a 'found footage' movie.
It doesn't look like it from the previews.
Found footage movies are crap starting with the original one in the genre: Cannibal Holocaust.
Then the over-hyped over-rated Blair Witch Project really opened up a whole slew of cheap boring non-scary found footage movies.
My biggest pet peeves with these found footage films is they are ALMOST ALWAYS "Based on a True Story/Events" when ALMOST NONE of them are!
I think it's time for Shyamalan to go to Bollywood where his lackluster cinematic and directing skills will be better utilized.

This is a low budget fare with unknown's.
He decided to scale back and get back to his roots of film making for the love of film making, in other words nobody wants anything to do with him on a large scale, big budget film.
Toss a coin, how bad can it be?
And yes, there's some found footage stuff, but I'm not entirely certain that it's the premise of the entire film, the trailer and clips seem to prove otherwise.
Blumhouse has proven extremely successful at choosing, making, marketing, and promoting this genre so far, they don't make a killing compared to mainstream, but because they are low budget in limited releases, the returns and the movies are pretty good (If you're into this kind of stuff, which you are not).
BTW PG13 is not the end of the world for horror films, blood, guts and gore don't define horror movies, many horror movies were rated "R" for nothing more than language, drug use, and scenes of sexuality. This one involves 2 younger kids and their grandparents, so curbing all of the above is pretty easy.

It's a movie about Grandma and Grandchildren!
Heck!
I will send my wife and the grandparents (my Dad, my Mom, her Mom, her Dad) to see it.
I'll go into The Gift instead.

Also an excellent choice, another Bloomhouse production.
Cost 5M made over 40M and counting.
