Before I write this, I have to confess that I love found footage films. There are excellent ones (The original PA, Cloverfield, REC), good ones (Troll Hunter/V.H.S.) and some seriously flawed (Willow Creek anyone?). But the way this seemingly slow paced film gets my mark for being between excellent and good is the characters. While things go quietly bump in the night, we learn about the characters themselves. Whilst every character has their agenda/bonus for completing the investigation, the most flawed character stands out as the one that wants to know the truth, and this film delivers in spades. There are just a few of these films that gives me chills when absolutely nothing is happening on screen, but the tension is rapidly building up, this happens to be one of them.
My only question that would give this an eight. If it is found footage? How was it found?
