About
You’ll likely enjoy this slow-building, documentary-style horror if you want an eerie mystery with lingering dread and few cheap scares; Not for you if you need constant action, clear answers, or hate found footage, and you may prefer Occult or The Ring instead.
Pros: tense creepy atmosphere; found-footage mystery; mostly non-jump-scare dread | Cons: slow pacing; confusing or unanswered; uneven characters moments
