Shakey camera effect way overdone ....

It seems that every Horror film these days has the shakey camera. I think it's good in moderation but it's overkill in this crappy film.

This film was a waste of time.

Thank you! I couldn't agree more. I am over the first person, archive footage films.

You understand that this is supposed to be found footage, right? And there's a difference between shaky-cam and mockumentary/found footage. Anyways, there are loads of modern horror films that doesn't use shaky-cam.

I get why they did it and it makes sense. But it gave me a headache and took away my enjoyment of the film.

It's one of the most annoying films I've ever seen. Because of the shaky cam, because of the guy that's constantly laughing, because all of it.

It happens in basically every found footage movie.

You'd be an idiot if you'd expect people in these situations to care about getting their cinematography down decent.
