Okay, first off I'm all for films that try to introduce a new generation to a moment in history, plenty of great films do that.
However, where I draw the line is when they attempt to replace that moment in history by watering it down, changing the names of the people and present an epilogue that suggests that the events in the movie were real.
Over 900 people died in the Jonestown massacre, not a little over 100 like this movie portrays. Now, I might have lived with that if the film didn't have the audacity to state..."It was the most brutal murder and mass suicide in history.".
No it wasn't! Jonestown was! I realize that I'm coming off as angry, well, I am a little. This was a wasted exercise, if you can stomach the real thing, watch the four part series on Prime called 'Jonestown Terror in the Jungle' and watch REAL history. Skip this one.

So, here we have two young people who enjoy exploring abandoned places in order to become famous Youtubers...*Youtubers*...umm.
They're using cinema-grade equipment costing many thousands of dollars, producing some truly awe-inspiring footage of unknown places like an underwater house and their greatest goal is to receive YouTube views lol?
Is that the ultimate goal now for people such as this? To be amazing Youtubers? What about working for National Geographic? Or producing documentaries for a major news organization or studio? They aren't amateurs using a cell phone camera to capture this stuff, they've got equipment that would make James Cameron envious, they need to say "to hell with YouTube! We're taking this equipment and our talent where the big bucks are.".
But the film was okay lol.

Just, don't even attempt to watch this without them lol. This is the kind of movie that was created for the sole purpose of being roasted, why would anyone want to willingly watch it by itself lol?
