The Glenarma Tapes

A Spoiler-free Review by Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast

Some youths take a shaky camera into the woods, where they find a folk horror sequence taking place, which they then become part of.

The Irish accents help prevent one of the worst elements of found footage from being a problem: wanting the main characters to die fast so you don't have to listen to their stupid voices any more. So, for overcoming that obstacle, cheers!

There's some excellent costume work on display.

Overall, it's a fine watch showcasing an admirable blend of the Found Footage and Folk Horror sub-genres. It's not groundbreaking in either facet, and there aren't many surprises, but it's enjoyable. And it's good to know that ACAB is true in Ireland, too!
