I read the other reviews regarding this movie and I suspect the reviewers were being very generous in their evaluations. Most likely, because it's apparent that a lot of effort was put into making this and everyone involved I believe did their very best. Any positivity is based on effort and not on merit.
Which bring me to my point. The movie started out with a fairly decent premise, but then once the group goes to the "house ", everything falls apart. Unlikeable characters and constant bedlam and yet no real horror. Screaming, yelling, cursing, we have the strange psychic, all the tropes of a found footage film, a way too long film, consisting of nothing but annoying yelling, shoddy camerawork. The finale was fairly decent; unfortunately, not enough to compensate for the rest of the film.
Again, I do believe everyone tried their best, and perhaps with some guidance and a decent director, this could've been something interesting. However, when you have annoying characters, nobody to care about or invest in and stretch it all out in a very tedious, convoluted plot line, with no horror for 2/3 of the movie, it just became lackluster and silly.
