Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

shawnblackman A found footage filmed on an iPhone but it still looked like shaky hand cam too me. This one has two friends going to Barcelona with a sole purpose to get laid. They meet a woman who takes them back to her place only to be trapped and hunted by the woman who turns demonic.This is one of those annoying found footages that makes you angry with everybody freaking out and the camera never staying still. A girl gets her foot stuck in a bear trap so the one friend is trying to open it but struggles so instead of the other friend dropping the camera to help he just keeps filming.It seemed like a Hostel meets Night Of The Demons but not of that calibre. You might want to skip this one.

befoulmetalroosa This has to be one of the most obnoxious, annoying, and downright offensive movies I've ever seen. It starts out with a gross out gag to end all gross out gags. A guy puking his guts out in a toilet with no water. Urgh! I couldn't watch it, for fear of vomiting myself, it was so gross and disgusting. Did they feed the actor syrup of ipecac to make him vomit like that!? Sheesh! Then we get to Barcelona. Let me tell you, these two young 'men' made America look bad, as if we don't have enough help with that with Bush Jr. and Trump. 'Barcelona women think Americans are gods or something' is the gist of the reasoning for going bar hopping. Really??? The hook up and subsequent hunt through a darkened house was formulaic. There were a couple of decent jump scares, but come on. It was a really dark house with the spotlight on the handicam the only source of lighting. Someone jumping at you out of the dark would make anyone jump. The story itself was insanely stupid, and the ending just bites. After offing the killer 'ghost' and his 'best friend', the guy leaves a heartwarming (hear the sarcasm?) message to the girl who dumped him, telling her that she was the only one for him and that he'll be waiting for her, only to drop himself off of the third floor landing of the stairs.It was so effing stupid. The whole movie. Stupid. A waste of celluloid. The young men playing the 'friends' were pathetic and weak. Screaming unintelligibly at each other as the nightmare (for us) continued. The drunk hook up was a waste. She was only there so that it wouldn't seem weird for two guys and one girl to be in the same house together. Just, blech.

ASouthernHorrorFan The story is a tightly woven blend of American horrors abroad and urban legend that mixes xenophobia with a baser celebration of the macabre surrounding ghost girl hook-ups that has evolved from the modern urban legend field. Although I wrestled with the film's framing around the found footage style to tell this pretty cool story, I succumbed to the fact that it is that basic irritant I have with pretty much all found footage films-"would, given the circumstances of such a horrific series of events, would a person realistically continue to hold on to the camera to continue videoing the events?" Especially when the story unfolds chronologically without breaks. Aside from the "found footage" issue I have, generally, I enjoyed many aspects of "Hooked Up". I found the acting to be believable, the premise plausible, and the emotion genuine. There are a few moments when the dialog isn't delivered quite as convincingly as I am sure the director and story hopes for, but for the most part the drama, suspense and energy is alive in "Hooked Up". There isn't much lull in the excitement or high drama here, every scene just amplifies the next as far as character drama. It is a cool, thrilling story and even in found footage it unfolds chillingly. The special effects in "Hooked Up" are pretty tight as well, the blood and gore looked realistic enough. The death and violence are visceral and quality. The cinematography ran the expectant gambit of found footage gimmicks, First Person POV, shaky, shadowy scenes, quirky angles and confusing scenes that have obscured views with sudden thrills. Some times it works and sometimes it doesn't. Luckily enough of the scenes work to create the intended nightmare sequences with enough energy to complete the story arc. Overall, "Hooked Up" just passes enough to be a cool Eurotrip horror, but not enough to be a must see. Plus the ending was really hokey and somewhat cliché. For found footage/paranormal fans this is an okay flick, for a wider horror fan base, "Hooked Up" doesn't really offer much that hasn't been seen and done before.

wishmaster_bs From producer Jaume Collet-Serra (NON-STOP) comes a suspenseful and gory contribution to the found footage genre. Filmed entirely with a iPhone tells HOOCKED UP the story of two US- guy how travel to Barcelona to get laid. After pick up to beautiful girls they go to a abandon house to have some fun. The fun turns into a bloody rampaged when one of the girls becomes a rabid demon. What follows is 60 Minutes of pure mayhem including some high class moments of suspense and gore. Director Newbie Pablo Larcuen knows exactly what he is doing. He delivers a straight forward horror hit in the vein of REC, but much MUCH better. With no doubt HOOCEKD UP is big fun not only for found footage lovers – yeah, It's true this movie is a must see for every horror fan.
