Followers

...I agree that it should've been a short film. The story could've been told in half the time and would have been way much effective.

I also think the film tries to do waaaay too much. However, I think its definitely a commendable effort with a smart script (apart from pacing and a few preachy moments). The way the film connects some of the events are kind of clever, but it ultimately serves no real purpose. But I appreciate that the filmmakers actually spent some time developing the characters. (They just spent way too long doing it.)

"Followers" is no where near the train wreck that others are saying it is. Unfortunately, the bloated pacing and the amount of story beats/plot points crammed in hold it back from being great. I know saying it should've been shorter and then saying it has too much going on might sound contradictory. If you watch it you'll understand.

Overall, I give props to the makers for trying to set their project apart from the rest of indie found footage. It just doesn't hold your attention or stick the landing.
