Happily, and to my surprise, Chronicle's turns out to provide quite a bit of genre fun, and a touching little parable to boot.

Yes, Chronicle is sort of sci fi, and reminded me of an old Stephen King novel called It. But what interested me most was the quick leaping interplay between the teens.

As pulp sci-fi this Fox release is pretty good, but it's also commendable for its sensitive depiction of adolescent behavior.

"Chronicle" is a mildly experimental commercial film, and, for the most part, it's loose-limbed fun.

The movie is surprisingly character based, using stock figures from a John Hughes High School comedy only to give them all more depth and nuance then you'd typically expect for a tale of this sort.

Chronicle is the kind of movie that makes one excited about the future prospects of the man at the helm.

Jun 03, 2016The low budget may let down Chronicle somewhat, but you can't get past the fact that it's still the best found-footage movie to come out since Blair Witch, and it's mostly thanks to the incredible performances of DeHaan and B. Jordan that this is the case.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Feb 07, 2016One of the better found footage films and a personal favourite of that genre, Chronicle is very well written, has awesome special effects and uses the found footage gimmick in a smart way and has surprisingly good performances. Sometimes it does step into typical found footage territory but for the most part it was consistently great for majority of the run time. If you love found footage films or superhero films this movie will impress you.Mr N Super Reviewer

Jan 22, 2014A clever form of direction with stylish effects, Josh Trank's Chronicle supplies a rare thrilling blend of action and drama. Though the effects are slightly bland and unreal, the film is saved by its superb young cast and overall excitement and script. 4.5/5Eugene B Super Reviewer
