I thought this film had promise. A good blend of 'found footage' and third person perspective. The acting was standard for the type of movie it is, with a couple of standout performances.
Spencer Knights, played by Bernie Hodges, was an asshat of the purest variety. More concerned for winning his own network show, he put his entire crew, plus one, in danger for the highest hits on his internet feed. The villain in this instance was the spirit of a doctor who sacrificed thirteen children to open a doorway to the shadow realm. Unfortunately, Spencer re-enacted the ritual, sans sacrifices, and allowed a cambion to inhabit the doctor's wandering spirit. As it ran rampant, killing the rest of the crew and the plus one, it became more real. Fortunately, two of the crew escaped more or less intact.
Clem, the caretaker, played by Judith Haley, was a lush after my own heart. She provided enough comic relief, as well as creep factor, to keep the film mildly interesting. She provided the accurate background for the 'ghost', as well as some interesting tidbits of witchcraft and paganism. She used her witchy ways to banish the cambion back into the other realm.
A couple of jump scares, but mostly a lot of loud noise and a slowly stalking man in a monk's robe and beak mask make for a so-so film. Had they attempted to inject a little more humor, it might've garnered a little higher rating. Obviously, in spite of its best efforts, it wasn't a really scary 'horror' movie; just a run of the mill haunted house flick.
