Even by the shaggy standards of found footage, "The Final Project" is amateurish.

Slipshod in every way, The Final Project can't even be bothered to show the important stuff ...

The 'Blair Witch' comparisons don't flatter this derivative horror indie.

[T]he movie itself is par for the course of lame found footage horror, a lukewarm rehash whose poor video quality and flat, erratic characters pale in comparison to how painfully unscary it is.

The ending does stray a bit from predictable and reeks of sequel. However, it's a sequel you wouldn't care for let alone want.

It's too bad that Taylor Ri'chard lifted so many ideas from The Blair Witch Project, otherwise I'd probably be lauding his efforts as a decent directorial debut.

Found footage films are a different kind of film in the best way possible. This film captures the essence of what makes a found-footage horror film so special, and I truly appreciated the entertainment. The film is a nod to the classic found footage horror films that made the genre so special in the first place. Shout out to the director for showcasing this, you can tell he knows the genre inside and out.

For those unfamiliar, "Found Footage" films are as the name implies: films put together on the basis that their fictional characters find or are in the process of using a camera through which the resulting footage drives the storytelling. With The Final Project, Taylor Ri'chard evokes the glory days of this genre made mainstream following the turn of the millennium (see: The Blair Witch Project). Ri'chard cleverly manipulates the format with point-and-shoot-style camera play as we observe a collection of collegians exploring a haunted house. The Final Project melds evocations of the supernatural with time-tested horror elements and voyeuristic camera work. The chemistry realized by its characters is also present and accounted for in this indie, which ultimately succeeds at building and holding its push-and-pull tension as it winds us toward its surprising ending.
