    A bit long at first, but with a shockingly suspenseful finale

    If only there was more footage of Gary, rather than interview after interview whose mission is to delay the inevitable, this movie would be better. But is watchable enough and the final 20 minutes are actually creepy and made with plenty of suspenseful talent.

    Best Way to Watch

    Don't read anything about the plot. It's not well known, they use actors that not only can act but also look like real people, and it's filmed like a documentary. So let your significant other know you heard about a really good REAL scary documentary. By the end you'll both be watching wide eyed while holding your breath...

    pretty good!

    I was a bit sceptical at first realising it is literally filmed as a documentary, with the story mainly told by interviews with some footage inbetween, but it worked really well and i really enjoyed it! Great job!

    I NEVER do reviews, but needed to after seeing the low rating on this.

    This is one of the most disturbingly effective found footage movies I have ever seen. And I have seen my fair share. Why this has such a low rating I have no idea. The acting is convincing, the storyline is enthralling, I have ADHD and never once checked to see how long I was into this film. I'm a seasoned horror movie buff and this is the first time I have been a bit scared especially at the end. Kudos to the director and everyone involved in this film. And no, I was not one of them. I will definitely be checking out more by this director. As I understand there is a part two and three but I'm not sure if it's the same director.

    Honest review

    It would appear that a lot of fake reviews are here. The movie was VERY slow and dull. There was no mystery to the ending. Definitely no sequel is going to happen. But I did give it a 5 because the last 20 minutes actual were pretty creepy. I suggest skimming the first hour in 5 or 10 minutes, and then just watch the last 20.
