I found Infrared on Tubi and decided to give it a watch. There had been some mixed reviews and I was curious because it had Greg *The Room* Sestero in it. It was created on a budget and it shows in some of the effects.

The acting can be a bit erratic at time but overall, is actually pretty solid. The premise, a found footage film has admittedly been done to death, but there are some good ones out there and this is one of them. The movie isn't long, but it does take it's time to set up the story and let it breathe. There isn't a lot of blood and gore, but some solid atmosphere and a sense that things are starting to go wrong.

I enjoyed it and I think it's worth a watch.

Directors and writers Robert Livings and Randy Nundlall Jr. Have gone back to the found footage well for a movie about a show also called Infrared which has a paranormal investigator and his production crew searching for ghosts at the Lincoln School, an abandoned and possibly haunted place scheduled to be razed.

Wes (Jesse Janzen) is the exorcist. His sister Izzy (Leah Finity) is a medium. Randy (Randy Nundlall Jr.) is the producer. Austin (Austin Blank) and Rob (Robert Livings) are here on sound and camera. They're ready to make a paranormal TV show but searching for the kind of content that will break through what's on basic cable.

As they roll past the school, Wes becomes obsessed and convinces the caretaker (Greg Sestero from The Room) to let them inside. Years ago, a gas leak killed several students and a teacher and the place really is haunted, all while Wes and Izzy fight as they had a falling out years ago and never expected to work together again.

Honestly, I could never see another found footage movie again and be happy. This at least has a solid performance by Sestero and a pretty frightening last ten minutes, but getting there is filled with so much talking and enough shaky cam to make me nauseated. Even I have my limits.

I really wanted to like this movie. Reviews seem to be all over the place. I just couldn't get into it. Absolutely nothing happens until the last fifteen minutes. And by then, I didn't care. I kept pausing it and hoping it was almost over. Wasn't scary. Wasn't creepy. Wasn't gory. Wasn't anything. I see what they were going for, but it did nothing for me.
