"original" premise for a found footage film
24 April 2016
I ran across this DVD on Amazon and gave it a chance. I have probably watched every found footage film out there, this one caught my attention because of its "original" premise.

It's hard to find a fresh idea on a sub genre that is already worn out, so I will give credit to the filmmakers. Last film that i watched that slightly reminded me this one was The Hills Have Eyes..

The production value is good for a low-budget movie, the cinematography and special effects mixed with visual effects were done well. The script starts slow but it builds up and in the last act there's some effective jump scares and atmosphere. The acting is not great but OK.

Curious to see what it could have been done with a bigger budget on this one.
