As a fan of horror, you learn over time that a 6 for a horror movie is sometimes a 7 or 8 when being viewed by an audience that appreciates or grew up with horror movies. I have seen dozens of movies I loved that on this platform were rated in the 5s or even 4s which early on confused me, but as you watch and watch you come to realize that certain media is held to different standard, just like how unimaginative superhero movies get 7s but all in all suck. When I saw a 6.5 for a found footage horror movie I was very exited, as movies I loved in the genre had rarely broken a 6/10 in the past, but what i got was some stupid horribly acted zoomer influenced bull that had almost no entertaining moments and actually 0 scary moments. The fact that this has or had a 100% on rotten tomatoes is just incomprehensible to me, there was almost nothing enjoyable about this movie, and almost shows how disenfranchised "cristics" are. I can't think of the name but a foreign film did the same premise 100x better (I think it was korean but had the same live feed premise just done without every character acting like an uglier Jake paul) and even that film was a 6.5 at best. Horrid acting, terrible writing, feels like a 49 year old wrote this with help from his 16 year old social media obsessed daughter, don't waste your time. It's honestly probably a 2 or a 3 out of 10 but giving it a 1 so horror fans don't get tricked the way I was into thinking this isn't a huge lazy piece of dooky.
