If you're looking for anything particularly original from "21 Days" don't waste your time. There really isn't much original. It's a haunted house story. The house has apparently had several owners over the century plus since it's been built. None of them have remained in the house for more than 21 days - and some have ended up dead after leaving. So three young film-makers decide to take up residence in the house, to last the 21 days while documenting their experiences. So, yes, it's also a found footage sort of movie, although it's not all found footage. But there's not really much to this. There are the traditional "things that go bump in the night" sort of events, but really nothing much frightening happens until the last 15 minutes or so. It's a little bit creepy at times, but no more than that. The cast was entirely unknown (to me at least.) I do't think I've ever seen any of the three leads in anything until this. They were all right. Nothing more.

There were some bizarre things about this movie. It opens with the three interviewing a local town historian about the house. I wondered how the local town historian had actual family photographs of the people who had lived in the house - including the most recent family. That in itself seemed a bit weird. And with the house in foreclosure why would the bank allow these kids to do this? And why would they be allowed to literally barricade themselves inside the house so that no one or nothing could get in or out. Sure it works as a plot device - but wouldn't even the local town authorities have some objections to that based on a fire code or something?

Like most movies featuring found footage, there's no real resolution to this. Just a lingering mystery. But because it's a very ho hum movie that doesn't really set itself apart within either genre (haunted house or found footage) it won't be memorable enough for the mystery to remain with you for very long.

Use it as a time waster - but it's no more than that. (4/10)

Found footage film of yet another crew of people investigating a reported haunted house. The twist here is that no one has ever stayed in this house for 21 days. The explanation for this: it takes 21 day for the soul to be possessed. (This isn't a spoiler as it is explained early in the film.) Thus starts the expedition of being sealed in the house for 21 days. Wow! and what a 21 days it was. Spotty depiction of the 21 days as they randomly jump days. Not even typical scares as this film tried to create jump scares without any jumps. Ho hum. I don't really understand why this was even attempted to be made into a film as the concept wasn't a big departure and they did so very little with it. You can do much better than this film.

I'm a sucker for found footage films, it gives horror movies a more real time experience which other movies have a hard time getting across to it's viewers.

However, when you watch lots of found footage films, you find a pattern and this movie follows it to the T.

Cameras everywhere and things go bump in the night and eventually build up. Characters have mental breakdowns and go against each other and then everything explodes on the last night leading to an ending that makes no sense.

This is your typical wannabe ghost hunters who want to be the ones to prove that the paranormal exists but can't handle it mentally and fall apart within seconds of experiencing unexplainable events. The screaming, whining and crying makes this movie very painful to watch and the terrible acting made me cringe.

It was also very maddening to watch due to the fact that there was no common sense whatsoever and the characters emotions did not align with their actions.

Just like other FF films, activity during the first night always seem to go unnoticed and never talked about. It's as if they didn't watch the playbacks the next morning and chose to watch three days later and the first night gets missed.

Found footage films need to get more creative and stop following the typical character stereotypes and repetitive storytelling.

The story had potential but was poorly brought together and fell apart.

I have never rolled my eyes so many times and felt such anger. Please spare yourself and skip this movie.
