The first anthology film to the sub-genre of Found footage horror & it consists 5 stories...Amateur Night, Second Honeymoon, Tuesday the 17th, The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger & 10/31/98.

Not great but as a first time initiative, it was a decent effort overall. The frame story (Tape 56) needed to be a better one. Expected a better ending at least.

Amateur Night was an okay, fun watch; thought Ti West would do something good with Second Honeymoon but disappointed. As a short slasher film Tuesday the 17th wasn't bad but the killer's "issue" in appearing in front of video camera may annoy some viewers. I really wanted to like the 4th segment The Sick Thing.... but didn't get the ending at all, what "they" were actually up to? The last one, 10/31/98 delivers the best one, IMO...an interesting-creepy-fun viewing where 4 friends headed out to a Halloween party at a stranger's house but soon find out that's just the 'rightfully' wrong place to be in...!!

Warning: haters of extreme shaky cam videos should avoid it straightaway :D
