Review of Phoenix Forgotten (2017) by Genesis_01 — 02 Nov 2017

I don't understand all the hate this movie is getting. As a long time movie lover - I enjoyed it ... it kept me wondering "What happened?" even if I might "think" I know, I still wanted confirmation. I can admit, 'found footage/mockumentary' films have been beaten to death these days, but this is something a bit different and doesn't sit in the horror section like most do.

I guess my only real complaint is I am still rather left wondering ... "Ok, now what?!!" I wanted more - I wasn't really satisfied with the ending, but that's just me. I still wouldn't shrug this film off - It's different and the acting in it is pretty well done, for a split second one might even think "Was this based on a true story?" and yeah sure 'parts' are ... but it even had me wondering if 3 kids went missing back in 1997 and was used also as a backbone for the film.

All in all if you like mystery mixed with sci-fi, thriller, suspense (I wouldn't really say 'horror') then this is a good movie to check out. It'll keep your attention, it'll keep you guessing and the execution is well done along with how the movie was filmed.

I'd also like to note something here, this is my first time ever reviewing a movie, as most of the time I rely on other people's reviews - But I'd check into what some of the users who've down voted this movie are into before going by their review alone.
