MORE found footage? Seriously?


Clicked to view the trailer. Clicked "Back" as soon as I saw it was yet ANOTHER found footage movie. Enough is enough! Are there any horror movies being released these days that aren't found footage? I hate it!

It was a cool story but the found footage POV style really really let the air out of the film.

You might actually like the meta aspects of this film, which I take to be a commentary on the ever-present gaze. I feel like the message of the movie is that the guy should have put his damn camera down from the get-go.

Admittedly, though, the self-view aspect of the camera (it had a rear-facing camera to capture the cameraman) was absolutely pointless and annoying. I really don't need to see up someone's nostrils--that's not scary.
