A missed opportunity

The idea behind this movie was a good one and the performances are pretty good considering what they were given to work with, which wasn't much. This just didn't deliver at all. It's not scary , creepy, suspenseful or anything else. Some things happen and are never explained. The logic behind some of the lead actress's decisions in the film are absurd. There are scenes that add nothing to the film and some of these go on way too long. It also was a gigantic failure when it came to these supposedly disgusting snuff films she was editing as they weren't disgusting or believable. If she's supposed to be so repulsed by what she is editing, some money should have spent on actually making them look real and repulsive. I really wanted to like this because the idea that someone would take on a job that would end up haunting them was a good one, but this film doesn't succeed at all in portraying that.

Hard to get into

It wasn't really my cup of tea, judging by the other reviews I may be a minority here. In all honesty, I would probably put it close to 'smiley' in the horror film rankings.The main character is very hard to like. She has the personality of an angsty teenager, always seems to have this 'if you cant handle me at my worst, screw you' mentality. Every decision is like watching a child make it, maybe if I scream at my landlord when im several months behind on rent things will work out, maybe if I take this strangers thousands of dollars and do what he says for 1 night its perfectly legal.The 'twist' was overhyped in my opinion, by like 30 or 40 mins in you can get a pretty good feel for where the story is heading, and how its most probably going to end.

Tepid

Just watched this, was hoping for so much better, overlong, dragged out and just gets more and more tedious, started off ok and just kind of fizzled out, so boring, would have been better if at least the main character was more engaging, just a drab uninteresting role, could and should of been much better but the sheer length and drudgery of the film made me completely lose interest, the twist or whatever was no surprise, the small cast ensemble tried their best with such a stodgy uninspired story to work with, I mean I have seen a lot worse but they could easily have made this 30 minutes shorter with more bite and interest.
