First of all, it's yet another found footage flick, so i wouldn't bother wasting an hour of my life on it.

Second, what the hell is up with all these bigfoot movies this year??? Are we celebrating its 200 years anniversary?

Unlike you I don't mind found footage movies and am not often irritated by shaky cams.

I know there are a bunch of Bigfoot movies but isn't this only the second one this year?

I honestly think we're closer to 10 Bigfoots this year.

I wouldn't call this the worst horror movie I've ever seen, but it's one of the worst of the year. There are countless jump scares, none of which were original or effective, and there was no suspense. The plot was also pretty predictable. The final act especially seemed very rushed and convoluted. This is the kind of movie that should only be watched at slumber parties.

F+ (If that's not a real grade, then I just made it up.)

The Houses October Built:
-I'd give this a 7/10. Creepy clowns. Unique story. But not the best acting or cinematography.

Proxy:
-I'd give this at least 8.5 or 9/10. Delightfully unique and twisted story. Great acting. Beautiful slow-motion gore scene (you'll know it when you see it) and a bizarre ending that left me pleasantly surprised! Check this one out for sure!

VHS Viral:
-So disappointed in this one. I'd rank it a 5/10. In comparison to the other two, which i really enjoyed, this one falls pretty flat. Completely disjointed and hard to follow at times. The sketchy cam-work is annoying and none of the characters were likable. Maybe Dante the Great was the highlight of the film. Boring overall.

All Cheerleaders Die:
-This film was so messed up and a ton of fun to watch! I'd say it ranks around a 7 or 8/10, because it's super cheesy and about highschool cheerleaders. However, that being said, I totally loved this one and hope they make a second one too. I'd recommend this to horror fans who enjoy the random kinda entertainment.

The Den:
-At least 7.5-8/10. Very clever style of film, entirely shot with webcams. Engaging, well-written, but contains some plot-holes and some bad acting. I enjoyed this enough to recommend it.

"Stonehearst Asylum" 5-6/10

No doubt this was a class A movie, both in production, acting and story. And I love movies about insane asylums, so why I didn't love this flick is hard to say. But the truth is I was bored from start to finish even tho it was a somewhat interesting and exciting story.
Meh, maybe I just wasn't in the right mood?

Somewhat "The Strangers" like another home invasion flick but even worse than that.

The most disappointed part was the main frame story. Most of the time didn't get what's going on & cared less & less about what's going on till the end. Among the other three segments...the first one, "Dante the Great" offers an interesting story but it was a bad & wrong idea to give it a found footage/POV treatment, IMO. 2nd one, "Parallel Monsters" had a fun & nice idea but compared to other good (or better) ones in the series so far it wasn't that much exciting or creepy. Last one, "Vicious Circles" wasn't much interesting & mostly ruined by those annoying camera placements (attached at the helmet of the teenage skaters).

Overall, the most lamest addition to this anthology series.

Anyone noticed the start of the main story was based on a real video?

I think the last story had a lot of potential. Spoilers in white

"The good: The chanting was creepy (reminded me of Resident Evil 4), the skater punks were quite ballsy which was a nice change, the violence/blood/gore was nice, the skeleton zombies looked cool, loved how it took place during broad daylight

The bad: I'm tired of the Dia de los Muertos hype. Yeah, the art and the facepaint are cool but lately they're everywhere.
The helmet cameras pointed at the faces of the persons wearing them.
The script: if they showed less skating in the beginning they could've added some depth to the whole cult/sacrifice/demon stuff.
Like why did the cops go away? Did they knew something?
Because from their point of view it was a bunch of people fighting and I'd think Mexican police have seen crazier stuff than that.

Not bad. It was a little slow in the beginning and the acting wasn't great but it got better as it went. The ending was all over the place though but it was interesting with a few good scares.

6/10

The Maze Runner
 
This was pretty good, actually. The darker approach made it much more interesting than most YA movies and more intense, too. I also liked the turns the movie took. The protagonists were very likable and memorable. The sound, score, and cinematography were probably the best parts though. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequels.

Glad to hear it was good. I've never read the books but i've always liked mazes in film and literature. Stories containing them have always interested me. I'll check this out when i can.
