That was awful! Don't waste your time for this! 0 of 10! Please everyone go watch something else instead of this! Bad acting, bad recording ( Why should filming a movie in 2023 be so weak and bad? ), bad story!( The story was very pointless ) The writers of this movie just wasted their own money! I hope they don't make another movie like this again! ( Why should there be an advertisement in the movie? ) This was neither scary nor psychological! I don't understand how people gave this movie a high score and praised it! If you are reading this comment, do not watch this movie under any circumstances.

Found footage is a favourite choice for film-makers with miniscule budgets because the medium lends itself well to thrifty movie-making. You can get away with not showing the monster clearly; not worrying too much about mise en scène; not having flashy special effects. This is largely what makes found footage work: it's raw, unfiltered and, above all, it feels genuine. Unfortunately, there seems to be a growing number of found footage films where the creators have opted for the genre to save money, without actually considering what makes an FF film work. Mind Body Spirit is one if these films. Ostensibly a collection of recordings from a wannabe YouTube star making wellness videos, the film falls at the first hurdle by completely undermining the idea that this is anything but a low-budget film. It breaks a cardinal sin of Found Footage by having a soundtrack. There is ambient music and non-diagetic sound throughout, which immediately makes the film seem completely disingenuous. The filmmakers seem to have added it because, y'know, that's what happens in scary movies, forgetting that this is meant to be a series of candid, unedited recordings from an amateur filmmaker. Then there are scenes which seem to be showing what's going on in the protagonists head, despite the fact that it makes no sense that the camera would capture them. There was the scene with the "string", which featured such laughably unrealistic and entirely unnecessary special effects, it brought the while scene to a grinding halt. And there are all the scenes where the camera moves in it's own, with no explanation, in just the right way to capture things in a cinematic way. If you're going to make a found footage film, every single attempt you make to be more cinematic weakens the authenticity, and ultimately just reminds the viewer that they're watching a zero-budget indy movie.

An aspiring yoga influencer embarks on a ritual practice left behind by her estranged grandmother. The woman is in the middle of a taping when she discovers a secret room behind a bookcase. Suddenly she overacts and is out of breath, which was very, very annoying. It didn't fit the scene at all. Then we are forced to sit through more boring yoga and a boring meditation. The basic problem is the movie is poorly acted and even more poorly realized by the director who has no clue how to maintain tension -- or for that matter even create tension. You just get one boring scene after another. As the yoga disappears and the woman just recites one speech after another, over and over. It becomes dreadfully boring and very little really happens. It's all smoke and mirrors.

This could have been good but the execution was really poor. The main actor was not intriguing at all and the story was a bit basic. You can have one but not both. If the main actor gave an incredible performance I could excuse the story being weak. But that was not even close to the case. She was dry. Although I could see her getting better. I was even interested to see where they went with the actual horror and, instead of bringing it home, they pulled the cheap trick of letting the ONE scene of violence happen off camera after giving us really tame glimpses of a shoddy ghost story. Lame movie that came off like a freshman year in film school project that resulted in a C-.

I think its an effective film, if you like horror with cultism or sort of devil summoning. It works overall with some interesting editing and sound. The main actress is really effective with good energy and a nice voice. She has her video blog and horrific things happen around her, as you read. It's got a nice feeling of interesting with out worrying too much about the story which is kind of really simple. Just a blog devoted to devil summoning and random demon events, but I think its sound and intermittent editing of scenes make it move really well. It could be too comical for some, maybe she makes too many small jokes and is goofy or silly but if you can handle that bit of fun you can enjoy the slow roll of horror scenes that follow. I hope so they are worth it!

An aspiring yoga influencer goes to live in her late grandmother's house while working to elevate her channel and gain a following. A tale of jealousy and family demons, at times literally, is what follows. Mind Body Spirit is the latest in what seems like an endless slew of low budget found footage movies, and I'll start by saying that as far as that goes this one does manage to stand above the majority. Some fun and at times clever camera work and strong performances, especially by Sarah Barholomew, drive the movie and show that everybody involved has a lot of potential down the road. There are moments that are genuinely creepy, particularly a haunting hallucination involving one character witnessing varying versions of her own spiraling sanity. The downside is that the movie becomes more and more repetitive as it continues, and it breaks many a rule that is a no no to break in a found footage flick, particularly with its use of music. It also feels like a watered down version of Hereditary set in the found footage genre, but not being done as well it fails to live up to its obvious inspiration or provide anything unique to that story outside of the yoga setting. Mind Body Spirit has potential and is even worth a watch, but don't go in expecting anything above average which believe it or not is a compliment for this horror sub-genre.

I really enjoyed this horror film. I like suspense but without the gore. Now this did have a bit of peek thru your fingers gore but it didn't last long. It was creative, creepy and surprisingly funny! Especially the "commercials"!!!! Slow the movie down long enough to check out the ingredients of the rthenergy drink. I have been in the fitness industry over 20 years and the characters were a spot on farce of a yoga instructor and influencer. Anya (Sarah) did a great job transforming from sweet, innocent yoga instructor to.... Well no spoilers here. The filming was creative and special effects a little too believable. I definitely recommend this movie especially if you are a yoga instructor/student or influencer! Fun and creepy!

Mind Body Spirit is predominantly a one woman show and what a show it is! It's a story about a wannabe yoga influencer who inherits her grandmother's house. She creates a video diary of her ritualized "journey" to her authentic self. Unfortunately, the trip is not what she was hoping for as dead grandma has other plans .... And they are terrifying. Sarah J. Bartholomew did an amazing job portraying a rather lost and gullible Anya. There's not much of a backstory but what little is provided tells the audience everything we need to know about Anya, her family and why things are about to go very, very awry. The way they shot the film was impressive too. The way the camera follows Anya contributes to a feel of malevolence as does the lingering silences that occur as Anya's "journey" progresses. It was well worth the watch. Check it out.
