arguably the best slow burn horror movie?
Great doco like movie. Its slow paced but it has this sense throughout the whole film of an underlying eerieness with an effective jump scare. Like her future, past and present were occupying the same space and frankly thats terrifying. Great movie
the jumpscare genuinely sent shock through my hands to my feet LMAO i loved how it was like a doco i think we need more horror like that, however its super slow paced but i still enjoyed myself
This is one of those rare documentary-style/found footage films that elevate the genre above the usual cheap,cash-in fare it usually offers. First saw this a few years ago as I'd heard good things,watched it twice that night. If you get to the end of your first viewing & have the nagging feeling you missed something, it's worth acknowledging that feeling & going again. Watched it a year or so ago & gleaned things previously missed. A film that doesn't hand it to you on a plate,it demands your attention & requires your ability to make connections both logically & emotionally. Highly recommended if you want a puzzle to,at least partially, solve.
only shock to this crap was how boring it was. no idea where people are getting more than 1 skull from. never again
