I was not sure what to expect before watching this. I now understand why this is shown on cable more than most POV horror out these days.
"Was it interesting?" For the most part. Framing it as a legitimate documentary helped it. The dated setting, lack of technology, and inability to see the characters away from the action hurt it some.
2 out of 3
"Was it entertaining?" That is it's biggest problem. Little drama beyond emotional storytelling and only a few real good paranormal scenes.

"Was it memorable?" The form of the movie was, but otherwise didn't make too much of an impact. It mostly just tries to stand out among it's sub-genre.
1.5 out of 3
Start with 1, 1+2+1+1.5=5.5
I'm rounding up for just using decent actors and good editing. A 6 with these type of movies is definitely above average.
