...I agree that it should've been a short film. The story could've been told in half the time and would have been way much effective. I also think the film tries to do waaaay too much. However, I think its definitely a commendable effort with a smart script (apart from pacing and a few preachy moments). The way the film connects some of the events are kind of clever, but it ultimately serves no real purpose. But I appreciate that the filmmakers actually spent some time developing the characters. (They just spent way too long doing it.) "Followers" is no where near the train wreck that others are saying it is. Unfortunately, the bloated pacing and the amount of story beats/plot points crammed in hold it back from being great. I know saying it should've been shorter and then saying it has too much going on might sound contradictory. If you watch it you'll understand. Overall, I give props to the makers for trying to set their project apart from the rest of indie found footage. It just doesn't hold your attention or stick the landing.

This film is terrible. It doesn't even deserve 1 star. There are several lines stolen directly from Blair Witch Project. Actors are all dreadful and obviously low paid, worst of all being the woman who plays Brooke; whilst being held captive she doesn't even scream or fight, just flops her hair extensions about a bit and says 'no let me go' in a breathy voice. I'm glad they all died.

I am very good at predicting an ending to any film within 1/2 hour. The hooks just kept coming . Either my age has caught up w/me or this is truly hard to predict . I tried in Vain.This was a fun yet suspenseful , well shot, well acted and very well written.

I did hit FF a few times. Typical "girlfriend never been camping" and bad stuff is gonna happen story. Same scenario, interchangeable antagonists, insert actors here. Can't say I liked it and can't say I didn't. Useful as background distraction when doing something else.

Found footage video. Brooke (Amanda Delaney) is a pretentious on-line V-logger babe who you immediately want to see naked and dead (No swearing sex or nudity). She goes camping with her boyfriend Caleb (Justin Maina- equally dislikable) on their one year anniversary. He plans to propose, while she is planning to break up. Then about 30 minutes we start with the subplot, i.e. their on-line followers and then at 17 minutes from the end I get a real unexpected twist I didn't expect in Florida's Hillsbough River State Park. I think Seminoles would have been better from a historical setting. They did the inside the tent "what is that" early in the film, something normally saved for the last scene. It was boring.

AKA Followed. Mate of mine lent me this on DVD, promising a "great" movie. Well, we obviously have different ideas as to the definition of that word. An annoyingly perfect Ken & Barbie social media couple, who film their every move - hence this is a found footage movie (yawn)- go camping in the woods. Not surprisingly this predictably turns out to be a bad idea. It does then turn into a found footage within a found footage movie, some credit for that. Sadly this film is incredibly slow & boring, despite a fairly short running time. The characters have no depth, they all just got on my nerves, and the end descends into something ridiculously bad. And if it's gore that you are after forget it.
