Lurking (2022)
Slow, but ends up being creepy and effective
The first full length feature from the micro budget british team Unhinged Pictures hit us with an intriguing slow burn found footage.
The main storyline is pretty decent, depending on who you are you may find it drags and has too much talking. But I honestly find our 2 main characters fun to listen to. They are searching for the infamous 'Goatman' and its a great choice for this film as it's a terrifying urban legend which needs more recognition.
Later in the film we have a scene where they talk to a 'person' on a radio which is easily the best scene and it's superbly made, which you would not expect from filmmakers with this budget. It's very creepy and just keeps you wondering. I won't say much more than that. It's not as entertaining and fun as Director Henry Richardson's most recent film 'Hayfever', but if you prefer to be creeped out rather than thrilled and grossed out, give this found footage a chance.
Hayfever (2022)
Grim and stylish Brit flick.
A horror movie about the hay fever season? This very micro budget YouTube flick might just make you chesty. I think the lads here wanted to make some 70s style carnage and that's exactly what it is, with some clear inspiration from body horror classics such as Evil Dead and Cabin Fever.
It's wild and I don't think I've ever seen a film where plants and nature cause the chaos. One scene involving barbed wire does make you question what you are watching but it's exaggerated and fun and you don't know what's going to happen next. It certainly deserves more views but it's understandably not for everybody as it is gross and not pleasant.
If your looking for a short, crazy and violent flick with a straight forward set up this one is for you. Bravo to the young brits who made this and who continue to make films on their channel that are all free to watch!
