This one was done kind of Blair Witch style, and they definitely got a creepiness going. I think the time travel thing may have been that it was a camera that records things out of chronological order. Or maybe not. I wasn’t really sure about that aspect. Cheeky use of the line!

Non-traditional take on the idea of Time Travel. I'm not sure it quite came across in that sense, but it was a worthy experiment and the film was interesting. More of a creepy horror, the actors gave some good natural performances and the cinematography made good use of darkness and hand held shots to show us only what we need to create the atmosphere. The story though, was really told through the editing, which was done well, and seemed like it had really taken some thought.

This was an ambitious idea, unfortunately it was kind of let down by being a little too unwilling to reveal what it was about. The core idea - that something happens to the leads causing their camera to go back in time and end up at their home where they eventually are drawn by the mysterious footage on it to the point where it went back in time - was pretty clever and a nice twist on the time travel genre. The problem was that there was far too much faffing about with people being normal and not enough elaboration on what was happening. Also the guy in the stocking suit was a poor choice of monster as he ended up looking comical rather than scary - especially in the longer shots. Some great ideas, but it did need to be less incomprehensible cacophony of images and more attention to telling a story instead of an idea of a story.

Incredible editing here which had me pretty freaked out. Solid performances and a nice relationship between the leads. Unfortunately I didn't get the "time travel" element and the story was a bit confused. All in all though, more gripping and entertaining than Blair Witch :)

I was really confused for the majority of this film. But that was the point. I knew that the story ws trying to hint at something with the flashes of "other" footage which was used wit much restraint: but to great effect. It took right until the ending for the whole story to sink and goddam I enjoyed being kept in suspense like that. The use of the compulsory line was clever if a tad cheesy. The found footage style of film was great for 48 hours because I'm not able to pass comment/judgement on sound/lighting quality. Nice acting.
