Review of I'm Haunted

I'm Haunted (2022)
6/10
Pretty good

I saw this movie on Tubi, which offers a lot of low-budget found footage films. A lot of Tubi's movies are horrible; I often find myself turning off a Tubi movie within the first 30-45 minutes. This movie, however, kept me interested for the full duration.

I admit that the plot isn't so creative, focusing on a demonic / ghostly haunting; and the scares don't offer much that we haven't seen before in other low/budget found footage horror films (eg doors opening and closing by themselves). What gives this movie its value is the lead actress's performance, as she literally carries the film on her back with her charm, acting, and well-delivered monologues.

The movie does have other major flaws though - firstly: the protagonist records everything, so she has video proof of everything that has been happening to her. Why, then, doesn't she reach out to more people for help? Secondly: around midway (or a little past midway), the film briefly starts focusing on her friend Blythe, which didn't work as well. Thirdly: we could have gotten more insight about the demon / ghost's background and powers, especially to help explain the ending as well as the fate of one of her coworkers.

More accurately, I would've given this movie a 5.5 / 10. But since I can't give decimals, I will give a 6/10 score. It's one of the better films on Tubi.
