The music, the filters, the narration, the background noise, waayyy too loud and disconnected from a modern audience. This was a missed opportunity for realism and its as if the editor or producer is more of a horror movie fan than actually performing a paranormal investigation.
You have to do away with all of the fancy editing and just shoot whats going on when it comes to documentaries. Less is more. No filters, no loud horror mystic music, just talk and film. Alot of times silence is just as loud as special effects. The first 10 minutes were hard to watch. And even the interviews were hard to hear/watch due to all of the unnecessary music, white noise, and effects overlays. When you want to capture realism you cant hide behind the extra nonsense. The music should NEVER be as loud as the commentator. The documentary seemed more focused on the music and sounds and trying to invoke fear, than the actual content. It was hard to catch what people were saying and also could barely take it serious.
