About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like alien-abduction mysteries that feel like “real footage” and build dread through interviews and recreations, similar to The X Files: I Want to Believe; Not for you if you hate faux-documentary framing or want straightforward storytelling.
Pros: genuinely unsettling moments; eerie pseudo-documentary feel; strong creepy atmosphere | Cons: disjointed storytelling; tries too hard; hard to connect emotionally
