Tagline for this movie says Blair Witch meets The Ring. Hmmm, I love found footage horror movies and as I watched this one for the first time, about ten years ago when it came out, I was left with the spooky feeling and loved it. Now, ten years later, it was about time to watch it again.

On April 30, 2010, six reality television show contestants spent seven nights in an abandoned and haunted asylum. The show never aired but an editor for the network was able to piece together some footage. The prize for staying all seven nights was a share of one million dollars that was to be split amongst any contestants that didn’t leave. No money prize was ever collected…

That is the story of this movie. Back to tagline. I don´t know why The Ring is stated, because there is absolutely nothing even reminding of that masterpiece. Well, marketing I suppose. Blair Witch is another story. Let us make one thing clear. This is one good found footage horror flick. Classic story, group of contestants/crew/whatever trapped in an abandoned insane asylum and lots of running, screaming, grainy camera work, reality similar horror, couple of really great situations and scenes, that little girl dancing still gives me creeps like ten years ago when I watched it for the first time. Well, there are couple of ideas taken straight from Blair Witch, like friends voices calling from the depths of the building, remember Josh calling in Blair Witch, he he? Also, remember when Mike stood with his back turned to Heather in that unforgettable Blair finale? Well, similar idea is also here. But, movie is good and recommended to all fans of the genre. Maybe it went a bit under the radar, but that is why this is such great opportunity to recommend it. Acting is okay, a bit irritating at times with screaming too loud and hysteric, but it is a decent overlooked movie.

7/10
