Exists

Nothing pulls you out of a scenario of dread faster than thinking: "Well, why would that character be filming now? Shouldn't he be helping?" or "Well, that falling camera sure landed in a fortuitous position."

A contender for worst film of 2014.

Bereft of interesting characters, clever dialogue and any semblance of humor or visual coherence, Exists offers nothing to justify its cinematic existence.

Featuring the usual fractured visuals, generic victims and pinballing cameras - both hand-held and mounted on bike helmets - "Exists" nevertheless has an unusually dreamy opening and a few surprisingly entertaining tweaks.

Generic script and cardboard characters hobble 'The Blair Witch Project' co-director Eduardo Sanchez's return to found-footage horror.

It's fun to be scared, but it'd be nice if the human meat were more interesting.

Has enough assets to make one wish the screenplay was a bit more novel than just another "people trekking through the forest" set-up.

Exists suffers from a lack of restraint.

Like its antagonist, Exists is a tenacious beast that refuses to let go once it's sunk its teeth in.

If you hang in there, the final half hour is terrifying, especially with the appearance of BigFoot who dominates the screen in every way. But the main problem with Sanchez' Exist is a lacklustre script with few surprises for its cardboard characters

A creepy and vicious found footage horror film with a surprising amount of heart and depth to it, to boot.

Jamie Nash's script travels the road less taken; far from a gentle giant that just wants to be left in peace, his Sasquatch is a natural born killer with enough brains to outsmart underprepared interlopers on its home turf.
