Three individuals each receive an anonymous, unmarked video camera and a horrific ultimatum to continue filming… or die. Experience the terror through the eyes of these unsuspecting victims, with a chain of found-footage events so real and absolutely dreadful, you’ll have to watch it again to believe it.

There might be a thread lost somewhere in the Upcoming Thread that I couldn't find. It's one of the ones that Blumhouse had sitting on the shelf.

Sounds very interesting. Like the concept if you stop filming you die. Now you have a reason to record! Like the poster.

COUNTERPHOBIA: The pursuit of situations and instances in direct relation to an individual's fear for the purpose of overcoming this fear, or to find pleasure or excitement in it. Symptoms of counterphobia while subjecting oneself to these fears can include trembling or shaking, shortness of breath, and even panic attacks. You were warned.

WELCOME HOME tells the tale of John Lester, a man who inherits his old family home - and with it a dark secret.

CHUCKLES THE CLOWN delves into Jake's fear of clowns and gives him even more reason to be afraid of them.

NO ONE LIVES FOREVER follows Jacob as he narrowly avoids a fatal accident though finds out there's more to it than he thought.


Face your fears as you read through these stories and more in this menagerie of works that includes a little something for all kinds of horror fans.

Counterphobia
Available on Amazon

I'm glad that these movies are finally seeing a release, even if it isn't great that they're getting unceremoniously dumped to video on demand.

Also saw the DVD at WalMart and it's on Netflix so it's not hard to find, at least! :) I'm going to be watching it the next time I see Robby since he's wanting to see it as well.

While I think the clown bit of the poster is a bit humorous, I might give it a chance now that it's on Netflix.

Of the two films that were released by the same studio at the same time, I think I want to watch Mercy first, but I do want to watch this.

I thought this was pretty great for the most part. Creepy, and like Gorefest said, they actually HAVE a reason to be filming lol. I actually knew I was gonna like this just by the opening shot of the quiet street. I was a bit letdown by the ending though, but it was nothing majorly disappointing. The interaction between Leonard and his mother were hilarious and very realistic lol. I definitely recommend this.

Leonard and his mom! (lol) I really wish she had been involved more; she was awesome.

Like J said, the ending was pretty much the only thing I didn't care for but even then it wasn't anything terrible. It was just a bit too abrupt and it revealed too much. I wish that

Totally kills any chance of us getting a sequel (not that I'd WANT one if we got those damn villains running around again, yuck). Sucks too since I really loved the concept and this was both jolting and creepy. The ways the attacker(s) tormented the people were fantastic. The freaky laughter, mannequins, recordings, and so on. Eek. <_>
The balloon room was also awesome; visually striking and it added to the tension of that sequence BIGTIME. The entire time, I had no idea what was going to happen next or who was going to end up living or dying. Only at around the 65 minute mark did I start piecing things together and suspecting that

Overall this was a lot better than I expected it to be!

7/10 quality, 7.5/10 entertainment.

I thought this was terrible, like bad enough that I was contemplating it being a parody of home invasion films during the final scene. They're constantly playing "In the Hall of the Mountain King," so it isn't exactly an unreasonable possibility. There's some good moments and atmosphere, but it cuts so frequently to humor that it destroys any momentum. Before the stupid twist, I thought the ending was super obvious from the very beginning. It was not very long after the characters found out something bad was happening that I started hoping that one of them would think of something to do other than pointlessly running around with their camera.

Yeah the ending (aside from the really tense build up) was a bit of a letdown. I HATE that they showed us who was behind it all and it was made even more frustrating that it didn't make sense and was just...stupid, lol. Other than that, I really like it. Sucks you didn't enjoy it. >_<

SteelersFan watched this while I was finishing up some work, and she turned to me right as the last segment began and told me exactly what was going to happen, including the balloons.

If she had liked it, I would have suspected that she had already seen it and was messing with me.

Ah, so she pretty much figured it out like I did. (lol) I really like that

but it really should've ended there. Now, I don't see a sequel ever being possible (and a sequel COULD have been great) unless they turn it into a

in which case, I might not even bother.
