The greatest movie ever made..!

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Stephan Hammond
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Reality documentary crew records a young couple during their second pregnancy, after the first miscarried, but complications set in ...OK, it's mockumentary (of a documentary) plus FF - so some will dismiss it anyway. It is well made and a good story that sticks to the rules of the genre. Well acted too, and it avoids the crew-ego that spoils so many films like this.The problem I had is they decided to use camera/mic interference to convey the presence of the threat, and never made it literal. There was knocking at the door, but that was about it. So you end up with something that's really a tale of a decline into mental illness, and in my view that means it's not horror. You have to see a manifestation on screen, and glitches in the picture and audio shrieking are not enough.Otherwise the sound did create an effect, especially with the constant dog barking and the confused voices in the last scene (which came close to being ruined by the camera effects). But in the end it is a shocker.Overall, well worth watching but should have been spookier. Better than Paranormal Entity, but not a patch on the PA series at its best.

I don't mind found footage or low budget movies as long as they're not predictable, boring and plot less. I kept waiting for this movie to surprise, scare or disturb but I just kept waiting right up to the credits. The husband Kyle was annoying, he didn't react to any of the strange events but just played frustrated and distant. The wife Rachel's friends didn't even seem to notice her weird behaviour. The midwife was so non reactive that I half expected her to turn out to be an evil accomplice of the demon ala the nanny in Damien (the Omen sequel), would've been a good plot twist if she did. But no, she was just dumb. It seemed extremely implausible that this couple would attempt a home birth under the circumstances. The only thing I thought the movie did well was to have interviews with the production crew of the fictitious documentary. Because they were actually creeped-out. This was the sort of movie that you wish they had done so many things differently, small changes would've made it much better. E.g. Kyle being really scared just once would've made the whole thing much scarier. I really wouldn't bother.

This is a fantastic little film, very few actors, (and all 'unknowns', as far as I'm aware) and the two leads should have a good career in front of them. Sweet young couple Kyle and Rachel agree to have their pregnancy followed by a film crew for a new reality show, and then things start getting interesting ... There are some great ways to spice up the 'found footage' genre, (Afflicted is another one), and the film makers do a great job here, as you're never quite sure if Rachel might just be a little crazy with pregnancy hormones?? I found this most enjoyable and I got some genuine shivers. Horror fans will be pleasantly surprised.

Truly a remarkable thriller that gets your attention. It keeps you engaged from beginning to the end. The acting, writing and directing are solid and draws you in. Just when you think you are watching another reality show the plot twists into a demonic thriller. But is It really? demonic thriller? The films ending produces a cathartic response. And questions arise. Is It demonic or is it mental illness? Or a combination of both? Unexpected end for sure. This pseudo-documentary stylized film exceeds expectations and rises above the rest of its GENRE. So now you have to watch it and live the experience on your own.
