Goofs

Firearm error: The action, report and sound of shell casings are characteristic of a centerfire rifle, not a .22 as depicted in dialogue and on camera. In addition, the holes made by the weapon on the door were far larger than are typical of a .22 or any commonly used handgun or rifle. See more »

Crazy Credits

There are two extra scenes during the credits. One related to the movie. The other is a series of clips of interviews with people talking about their experiences with the Brown Mountain Lights. See more »

Very creepy, great atmosphere, well done...
21 June 2014 | by (USA) – See all my reviews

I hardly ever log in to this site, let alone write reviews, but I really felt the need to write one for this movie.

I stumbled across this movie when I was desperate for something to watch after having surgery. I am so glad I gave it the chance.

I have seen a lot of found footage movies, and they rarely capture such a creepy atmosphere as this one. I see that some find this movie terrible, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But, for some, it's obvious this movie leaves an impression and hits the mark somewhat.

The scares are done well in a way that you only catch a glimpse, but from the visual effects to the sound effects and music, it does a great job at getting the point across. The acting is decent also.

If you like the alien subject matter or found footage movies in general, I suggest giving this one a chance. After the tunnel scene, you should know whether you're going to like it or hate it.

I also really like the opening and closing scene where you see what happens with the camera.... that was just freaky. Also, be sure to watch to the end of the credits.
