These People Can Really Make a Movie

If you're a fan of even just one of the original three films then you'll enjoy this a lot. Cognetti manages to remain true to the genre with what was obviously a much higher budget. He has given us, not a sequel or prequel, but another volume in the Hell House Verse. I really hope he continues to make films in this universe and expand the story even more.
Most harsh criticism is the acting. One thing they makes the original 3 so special, IMHO, is the incredible performances where I rarely ever felt like I was watching someone trying to look like they're not acting. That's a whole different ball game for found footage than it is other films. These performances fell flat in some places but are still overall believable.
