Actually, the title is a lie. I could finish it if I wanted to. The problem was I didn't want to finish this film. I made it 28 minutes in.
The film opens claiming to be based on real events or real recordings, I had already forgotten what. It then shows us a man in a house with a cat. He occasionally talks on the phone to what may be his roommate.
Out of nowhere, a tape recorder starts playing in a room and he finds it. He then starts listening to the tapes.
This is basically where the movie essentially ends. If actual stuff happens beyond the 28 minute mark, I had by that point ceased to care.
What fills in the rest of the alleged film is completely random B footage of this man meandering around the house and walking around town while listening to the tape recorders apparently recording some manner of séance from 2003 in which a woman is trying to contact a demonoid phenomenon in a man's house.
I'm very easy to impress in terms of movies, and when movies take risks like this, I tend not to completely shut down just out of disgust for the format (like people who can't stand found footage films because of the camera shaking). However, this means it needs a story to sustain itself.
What ever story this film was attempting via the tape recordings was, at least as of 28 minutes in, incredibly predictable and cliché. The medium makes contact with a spirit almost immediately, and it's predictably evil because it has a hoarse, growling voice like a Death Metal singer, and has a sleazy-sounding evil laugh it uses with tedious regularity just to remind you it's evil.
as far as I could muster, the demon's name is "Mr Sheets" because a ghost boy spotted him under a sheet or something.
If this movie improves after the 28 minute mark, there's no evidence of that in either of the other reviews. Maybe, possibly, some day after exhausting everything else available on AmazonPrime, I will come back to this film, but I will do so with an overwhelming reluctance.
