I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A Major Disappointment

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Setting a found-footage horror film in a creepy school overnight is an idea with promise. There's something about the school arena, buzzing with life and mischief during the day, being unimaginably eerie during the night. The actors employed here are refreshingly dynamic without seeming stagey and have a naturalistic way about them. Unfortunately the seemingly improvised nature of their scenes often results in them standing around talking over each other, with little to distinguish them and little to distinguish their voices. That none of them seem to be saying much of any importance isn't terribly reassuring.When all cell phones suddenly run out of power at the same time their watches stop, it becomes clear we are on familiar genre territory here. The camera spluttering and the image distorting allows you to know that something frightening is about to happen, just as it has in other - frankly, better - films of this nature; but 'something frightening' doesn't happen for a very long time. Just more chatting and discussing with no great onset of fear - and little (other than an omnipresent tennis ball) to get worked up about.With a group dynamic, conflict can be an important and successful way of displaying tension. Such moments here arrive out of nowhere and are then forgotten, meaning anything built up by this dissipates almost immediately.The finale, when loud noises and disorientation becomes all-encompassing, is effective. And yet, it isn't terribly well done and 'Classroom 6' emerges more as a series of found-footage box-ticking than anything else. It genuinely saddens me to say all that because there's a lot of love and enthusiasm that seems to have gone into director/writer Jonas Odenheimer's project. The assorted actors give it their all, without ever the characters becoming too arrogant and dis-likeable. The end result is just not very satisfying.

Santa Maria College in Bakersfield, California is haunted and "ground zero" is classroom 6. We discover that they taught "Witchcraft and Ancient Symbols" and that is background we get as to the cause of of two disappearances. News reporter Annie Monroe (Valentina Kolaric) assembles a team to spend the night which includes the world's worst news camera man who insists on filming everything at a 10-15 degree angle and he frequently cuts off heads. Special effects include the closing door, power loses, film shake, messed up lip stick, noise, screams, and oooooh the tennis ball. Bad acting too, but to be fair, the script gave them no chance.Worth a hall pass.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

To date I have rated 1,026 movies on IMDb, but I have only written one review.I save them. I save the reviews for special cases.I also watch a lot of found footage. I have seen and rated 56 of them at the present time. I feel they help me work out my karma through intense self-inflicted suffering.This is my second review on IMDb.I know there are worse movies. There are. But this one is terrible. Everything about it is utterly terrible. It is an extraordinarily terrible movie.I feel that, because I endured it in its entirety, my karma is drastically closer to being expunged. This dreadful experience has brought me one step closer to Nirvana.So, if you enjoy terrible, terrible writing, terrible, terrible acting, and terrible, terrible camera work (even for a found footage "film"), or, if you feel that you need to have your astral body scoured clean by pure suffering, then this is for you.Otherwise, I recommend anything else. Anything.

I'll start by openly admitting that I'm one of those people who actually enjoy found footage movies, even this type of Grave Encounters mimicry, but this was not an enjoyable experience. The set up had promise but didn't manage to deliver anything but the worst of the genre. Too many characters confused what little plot there was and the scares (even jump scares) were non existent. The atmosphere was okay and i did like the way they chopped in forward flashes of things to come but overall it failed. It failed to follow story lines through, it failed to answer any of the questions it asked, it failed to make me care about the people and it failed to scare.It is short but when there are so many movies out there that do it right (or at least to a satisfactory standard) there's just no point in watching this one, it will disappoint.
