Decent watch, probably won't watch it again, and can only recommend for found footage fans. This lovely little piece of found footage garbage actually has a somewhat interesting premise, reminding me a lot of Slenderman in the way that the demon stalks and haunts the cast.

Decent watch, probably won't watch it again, and can only recommend for found footage fans. This lovely little piece of found footage garbage actually has a somewhat interesting premise, reminding me a lot of Slenderman in the way that the demon stalks and haunts the cast. While it was a delightful surprise to see Chloe Bridges, the movie suffers from a lot of problems that audiences have with found footage, including its plausibility. They literally throw something over the camera at one point and I thought, "Really, the budget was that bad you couldn't just have the camera turned away?" The actual action of covering the camera, and thus the light made (some) sense, but that the camera was in that position in the first place felt contrived and covering the camera just made me feel like I was going to be ripped off. Now, it's a game in the dark with shadows everywhere on a budget so the production value is low and it's hard to see most of the time. There is a lot of good in this too, but ultimately I think it needs a rewrite and reboot without found footage.
