The Levenger Tapes (2013)

I found this and "Always Watching" while browsing, and both seemed like similar found footage movies, and based on reviews watch "Always Watching" first- in short - this was much better. Usually if I fall asleep during a movie, it doesn't get revisited, and I was struggling to stay awake when I put this on, but it seemed interesting so I actually put it back on the next day. The movie was technically sound (hate when the sound and video are crappy), and kept me guessing and on edge. There were a number of instances where the movie could've gone in more than one direction, and it legitimately had me guessing as to who was in on what. For me, the true answer to how good a movie is (especially Netflix or Prime freebies) is "would I watch it knowing what I know after watching it?", and yes, I would definitely thought this was worth the time and would recommend it. Don't waste your time with "Always Watching". That's one I would not watch after knowing what I know now.

I just read the information about this movie and it totally is a spoiler!

Three young adult go out for an adventure at Chase's ( Morgan Krantz) parent's mountain home. He films everything as he takes Amanda (Johanna Braddy) and Kim (Lili Mirojnick) with him. He hopes to score with Amanda while Kim is more level headed.The kids become missing and a VHS tape was found and is being viewed by the police. We have the ground cam, the jerking cam, the running cam, and "what was that" scene after scene. The kids running around in the woods with the camera light shining brightly talking low so no one can hear them was inane and annoying.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

About the millionth "found footage" film about who knows? This big old turd gives you characters who have the personalities of a fence post and the screen presence of a turnip. I did not care for ANY of them. In fact, it would have been fine with me if the guy would have died immediately, he was so obnoxious.After stealing liquor from a store, having an accident with another vehicle (I think...), and going to someone's cabin (natch), the drunk guy decides he has to apologize to the guy whose car he side- swiped. And for those of us who have been around drunks, he's going to apologize come hell or high water. Thus the three leave the comfortable confines of the cabin to run around in the dark, magically disappearing and then reappearing--never remembering what happened. The entire "plot" (and I use that word here very lightly) made no sense. Most of film involved two girls screaming at god knows what and supposedly the "ghost" of a little girl who is all grown up now. Rated R and not recommended.
