Review of Tape 407 (2012) by Justin J — 24 Dec 2012
Area 407 is a film that I was really looking forward to seeing. Oh, how I wish I could go back to that blissful state of ignorance. This movie fails almost completely in every way. It is populated with cliched and largely unlikeable characters that alternate been screaming at each other and telling each other to shut up.
While it doesn''t often bother me in many of these films, I found the camera work here really annoying. the only real redeaming feature is the fact that you never really get a good look at the creatures stalking the group, although you will easily recognize what they are suposed to be.
And with most of these films, you will know the end is near when the character's numbers have dwindled and they are seemingly safe. The ending here is abrubt, although it contains about the only effective scare in the film.
The characters inspire little sympathy for their plight and the ending is a welcome sight, assuming of course you can even make it that far. I suggest you avoid this, nearly all other 'found footage' films have been done better and are more effective.
