The Monster Project (2017)

Another day, another found footage indie horror flick consisting of three stories explored by a documentary film crew. Their remit is to meet and interview three real-life monsters, who take the form of a demon, a vampire, and a skinwalker. What this all boils down to is the usual shaky-camera material and a mix of slow and boring interview snippets with some night camera incidents borrowed from the likes of BLAIR WITCH and REC (or QUARANTINE). It's all very low rent, predictable, and not at all scary.

Mixed emotions by seeing the monsters. look, the first half is rather boring and even the interviews with the three monsters isn't satisfying. But I waited to see what the fuzz was all about and indeed, after half throughout this flick things go wrong.Is it original, no it doesn't because this is done years back when mockumentaries and found footage flicks were a hype. And yes, even here it's all shot in night vision when the creatures are awake.On part of the effects that is rather above mediocre. Clearly based on jump scene's. So for me it's a trip down nostalgia, not a good story and some moments even too cliché and even laughable but the last part makes it worth picking up.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

I honestly cannot find it in myself to ever watch this movie ever again. I would rather eat something rotten that gives me horrendous diarrhea and sit on the toilet for 24 hours than endure this movie's hour and a half run-time again.In terms of the acting, the only one who I felt did a good job was Yvonne Zima who plays Shayla the Vampire. Her interview in the movie was the best.Besides that, the only other good thing I can say about this film was the slight plot twist which I honestly didn't see coming. Yet I contribute not seeing it coming to the fact that I was too busy focusing on the garbage that was presented in front of me.The CGI looked like it came straight from SnapChat filters. The "scares" were cheap and dumb. The movie starts off with one, but that doesn't really count and then the rest of the "scares" don't come in until about 53 minutes in. The movie is 98 minutes long. Meaning that it doesn't start the "scares" until about 54% of the way in. From that point on, you can imagine what happens: scares, scares, shaky camera work, lots of running, scares. And of course, because the CGI was completely laughable, not once did I feel scared. My heartbeat didn't even rise.The one scene that probably infuriated me the most is that they place the camera on the ground to fight one of the monsters and we don't see this happening. Instead, we're shown a shadow puppet theater of it happening. That's right: we see it from the shadows fighting off and stabbing the monster. Seriously? You give us the usual bad shaking camera perspective and then can't even show us what's truly happening.Just a plain bad film overall. Would not recommend for ANYONE to watch.

Lets start out that I'm not a big fan of the whole shaky camera filming everything movies. However...my wife showed me the trailer and the effects were actually decent. So we sat down with a couple of strong drinks...(Just in case we needed them to get through the movie) and watched it. Definitely had some creepy moments and for what it's worth, the acting wasn't completely terrible. It's the ending that threw me. The rest of the movie was fine and it looked like your typical horror movie ending. Don't worry...I don't do spoilers. Watch it and judge for yourself. For me...the ending just didn't fit. It wasn't needed and had basically nothing to do with the whole movie. Not a movie I'd watch more than once.
