Look. This movie isn't great. It's not even good. But as a rabid found footage fan I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
Contrary to the complaints in other reviews, the acting is only bad in a few places, particularly the very end. Elsewhere the acting actually ranges from slightly wooden but otherwise fine to genuinely good and believable (Matt Doherty being the best performer by a long shot). Your mileage may vary but I've seen plenty of films with far worse acting and I don't personally think this one is bad enough to warrant this many complaints.
Where this film really suffers is actually the scares, which don't have much of a rhyme or reason to them. If goofy trope-y scares turn you off then by all means avoid this film. If not, this film resembles Grave Encounters quite a lot and if you enjoyed that vibe you may also enjoy Hollows Grove.
Ultimately this film is not for people who aren't rabid found footage fans. If you don't normally watch this kind of film then don't bother, there are plenty of far better far more accessible FF films out there that deserve your attention more. But for fans of the genre like me, this is worth a shot.
