Yeah, absolutely loved this film. Read a few reviews saying that it's 'breathed life back into found footage films' and I wholly agree. It's a lot of fun, especially if you know it's quite silly. If you think this is going to be a gore-fest, I'd not bother, you'll be disappointed. I wasn't!
I love that it, and the filmmakers, don't take this too seriously at all - there's a real reverence for the genre, and you can see all sort of hidden nods to horror films and stories throughout: but you have to look carefully. There are some overt nods to things like Blair Witch, but that's very much tongue-in-cheek - it's meant to be a bit of fun, and I had a ball with it.
The acting is terrific, which it's often not in these sort of films, and considering the £30k budget and two week shoot, I am in awe of what they've accomplished.
These are the sort of filmmakers I just wish were given a proper budget so that we could see what they do with it! This would have been a film for the ages if they'd been able to add another 0 to the budget.
You'll love this if you go in with the right frame of mind - maybe not so much if you don't. So be warned!
