Chateau (2024)
Premise: So the main character in this found footage movie is a struggling youtuber that wants to become a famous influencer, but still hasn’t really made it. She’s “in between jobs” and “barely making rent” but this is also an american living in Paris, a famously cheap place. Yeah sure, of course you’re not a rich faildorter.
Anyway, she’s hired to clean this old chateau (that’s French for “Castle”) and after learning it’s a supposedly megahaunted place of course she’s going to record the hell out of it. Yes, this is another movie in the “youtuber fucks around and finds out” subgenre!
Under 90 minutes? Yup, 83 minutes.
Do they say the title? Sure.
One sentence review: if you are supposed to clean and you do not even pick up a broom don’t be surprised when ghosts haunt the hell out of you.
Rating: So-so. I mean, it’s not good at all but it still manages to do a couple of neat things.
A simple way to improve it: I swear for a while I thought it was going to go into Scooby Doo Doors territory, with the lady running away from g-g-ghosts and bumping into every single expensive thing in the chateau.
Trivia about the IMDb trivia:
Filmed at Chateau Haute Jaure in Bergerac, France prior to renovations that will transform it into a wedding venue.
Now I’m really, really hyped about a sequel!
