if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Ella-May O'Brien
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Yes As Mentioned Before In Another Review The Whole "From The View Of The Camera" Genre Has Been Beaten To Death With Most Of The Movies (In My Opinion) Less, Much Much Less Than Quality.If The Above Info Is Correct This Movie Was Shot In 5 Days And All The Dialog Was Ad libbed, So What Do You Expect "NOT WHAT I GOT" This Is A Freaking Great Movie, From The Boarding Of The Plane To The Last 5 Seconds (I Literally Jumped) Of The Movie Was Fantastic. From Story Outline (Which Is Subtle And You Do Have To Pay Attention To The Clues) To Character Development This Movie Rolls Forward At A Great Pace And Keeps The Attention Of The Viewer (At Least It Kept Mine) .....Do Not Pass This Movie By, It Will Not Be The Best Movie You Have Ever Seen (Promise) But You Won't Regret Watching It (Promise) ........

I've read some pretty scathing reviews about Tape 407, so I naturally didn't have many hopes for it. Plus I'm getting as sick as most horror fans about the amount of 'found footage' films that are being churned out. This is one of those 'Blair Witch' movies filmed from a single camera all the way where you constantly shout at the screen "Why are you actually filming all this?" We know the 'first person' gimmick is just a way of filming on the cheap, but, if you can get over that here, it's not quite as bad as people are making out. Not quite.Perhaps one mistake was making the camera-person a sixteen-year-old American girl from L.A. She does tend to shriek quite a bit. However, her shrieking is soon drowned out by everyone else. The plane she's on crashes in the middle of an American military testing base/desert and the survivors end up getting stalked by a load of monsters.The film also leaves you a bit shaken due to the excessive shaky camera-work to go with the shrieking. All in all, it's a tough watch, but it's not all bad. Some of the characters are actually quite fun to watch - the air hostess is believable and passenger 'Charlie' is wonderfully annoying, making you just want to strangle him.However, and I hope this doesn't count as a spoiler, the opening test card to the film tells you that this footage is 'found' therefore you don't have to be a genius to guess the ending. The ending. The ending has left a lot of people cheesed off. Anyone who was enjoying it up until the end feels like the film-makers used one too many clichés to be believable.Yes, for all its - many - flaws, I did sit through it and feel I didn't entirely waste an hour of my life.I can't bring myself to recommend it, as it's clear that the majority of people didn't. However, I think there will be a few people out there - like me - who at least saw SOME good in it.

After viewing this film I find terribly bad. I give it 1/10. The story is ridiculous and makes no sense. The girl has a voice more annoying it would shoot willingly. Is this also a tanning voice in the English version?No doubt that was "inspired" by "The Blair Witch Project (1999)." But this "inspiration" is that of a Neanderthal.Somehow by cons there is something real: today's generation is that of cameras. And this generation prefers any film, for example a person doing burning, and "share" it with his "friend (s)" that put the camera aside to help.Hey look, the guy next door is burning. And the friend replied: Cool!Today people love to be filmed from every angle and in the film this gang of idiots are normal to be filmed every second. By cons, if I had to live such a situation a long time ago that I would have committed one or more murders. Finally, all those who hold a camera would not stay long in life.Ah yes. There will be a sequel. And we use this time "Google Glasses"! Wonderful!I like to listen principle all movies until the very end as a poorer one. But I must admit that it took me a week to watch it in full as this movie is crap!Hard to imagine that in 2013 we do the "tricks" as bad. The people who made the film have never seen blood for real, otherwise there would be less red on all the faces of the "actors." What "film" ridiculous. Kids 5 years with a camera can do better!The sad thing in this film is that the camera batteries, held by two idiots did not stop after 1 second filming!PS If you love throwing, this film is for you!

When you sit down to watch a horror flick the last thing you want to deal with is a bunch of loud, obnoxious and whiny people that are preventing you from enjoying the show. That is where this movie falls on its face from the word go. Seriously, we have something as miraculous as a group of misfits surviving a plane crash in the middle of the desert, but within 10 minutes I would have rather they all perished and the movie ended immediately. But let's focus on the plane crash a moment. Each and every passenger is coated in blood like a bunch of blood-frenzied vampires from what appears to be gaping head wounds. That's cool and all but it doesn't slow them down for a second nor does it shut them up. Half the party is locked up over a girl that has a splinter in her forearm or something about that critical. A tourniquet is in order for this poor girl. In the mean time some fool is running a video camera and blinding everyone in the face with it. I was amazed that the plane was in shambles with all cargo strewn about the desert but conveniently the camera with the giant lighting assembly is unscathed.Things are moving along, including the fat man that is singlehandedly annoying the crap out of the rest of the survivors. He does manage to find food for the survivors. This is when things start getting ugly. "I sar two eyes, I sar a tail, I sar some teeth" now I don't know about these idiots but I sar a dinosaur. Fast forward through an hour of them sitting in a shed crying and yelling at each other that leaves the great escape. They finally manage to find a radio and call for help and are told to go back to the plane. they find an SUV and drive back to the plane but the driver decides she doesn't like one of the other guys so she just casually runs him over. But I don't want to give away the end of the movie so go out quickly a watch this so you can see how this masterpiece ends.
