A Master piece.
top tier found footage flick
I remember watching this movie and I loved it then!
Super slow burn, it’s a movie that feels a lot longer than it actually is but every single stretched out moment has the tension of a tightrope. Amazingly creepy, but it’s a movie you’ve got to sit down and watch, not have it play in the background.
Very well done. Enjoyable with how strange it gets as it goes on. Everything is well timed. At the same time it also shares a lot of story beats with The Blair Witch Project. Which is unfortunate in that you will be able to predict certain plot developments because of that. But it does not show the same "restraint" as BWP though, which is to the benefit of this film for pushing it further. Worth watching.
