Invoked (2015)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Sick Product of a Sick System

best movie i've ever seen.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

A group of friends travel to a deserted hostel in an isolated area of Ireland. After a long road trip they have to travel to it by row boat (which they do in the dark of night).When they arrive at the hostel there is no electric so they are in darkness. They begin drinking and smoking weed and decide it would be 'fun' to play the Ouija board game by using a glass and paper.They appear to make contact with a spirit who doesn't want to say goodbye which freaks one of the girls out. Strange things begin occurring which escalate as the movie progresses.This is a found footage style movie which, initially, is one of the better of the genre. The acting is initially excellent, very believable; the banter and chatting between the characters is very fluid and natural. The characters are happy, fun and likable. There is a subtle depth between them, showing solid relationships, affection and care.The beginning of the movie is really good and engaging but as it progresses it loses it's grip on you as the script and story begin to become shallow, predictable and annoying.Sadly there is a lack of originality, this has all been done before - and better. The characters begin to become extremely irritating with constant shrieking and screaming from the female characters which becomes unbearable at the end, so much so that I had to turn the volume down.The ending comes with basically no explanation of what has gone on or why. It's so disappointing as at the beginning the movie had so much promise. I have rated it a two purely on the quality at the beginning.

A film that lacks any form of substance is going to get a very brief review from me. This is another found footage film, a genre which I totally disapprove of.I can't even think of anything to say in a review as there really isn't anything to point out in the movie other than how crap it is. This movie is an hour and half of shaky camera work and screaming with all the actors arguing over the top of each other non stop. Its painfully frustrating. Its unforgivably awful. Think of all the time, effort and money the cast and crew could have been investing into other recreational activities instead of giving birth to this frightful abomination of celluloid.Why am I even reviewing this movie? Why am I giving it any more attention that I already did by falling into the trap of watching it!?

As soon as you meet the main characters their personality becomes apparent. Personality is singular because they all have the same one: annoying grade-school child. from the start of the movie they are constantly talking, playing stupid jokes and laughing at butts several times.The plot is not surprising in any way. If you've seen any ghost story plot this one is not much different. The only difference between this and a ghost story is the character development they borrowed from slashers, by having the characters annoy each other as well as the audience as well as getting drunk and high which never should be mistaken for characterization. This movie was agonizing and the only reason why I watched it all is because I never ended a movie early before.

Horror movies are awesome and the ones that frighten you and make you sit at funny angles are worth they're weight in gold.There's a lot of rubbish out there believe me I've watched them all, I just cant help myself no matter how bad. Because of this that makes me a bit of an expert. So when I tell you ya must see it ........ Get on it. The characters are excellent the acting is quality I was sat at a funny angle for the second half. Not saying the build up was not up to scratch because it was it gets the horror going really well. I was forever stopping the movie and rewinding to see if anything was going on in the background. Deserves to be up there with The Blair Witch, Rec, Cloverfield and Evidence. All Fantastic FF horror in they're own right. A Must See for True Horror fans. 3:)
