Enjoyable little flick

Pretty good little found footage film. It doesn't reinvent the wheel for the genre, featuring many of the same issues that plague films in the States. What I actually found most interesting was the mystery surrounding the asylum they were investigating. There were many rumors and theories about what happened there, and watching the characters learn different things was the most engaging part of the film for me.

The first half of the film is just setup, and the enjoyment of this part depends on how you feel about the characters or how attached you are to them. Since you know almost nothing about them in the first half, it can drag as they set up the story. However, once they enter the asylum, the thrills come in much more often, giving the audience what they expect and hitting the mark for the most part.
