About
You may like this if you want bleak, realistic found-footage horror that slowly turns extreme, especially if Frontier(s) or Alleluia worked for you; Not for you if you dislike handheld style, cruelty, or very upsetting subject matter.
Pros: unsettling slow-burn descent; raw immersive style; dark humor contrast | Cons: very disturbing content; slow first act; rough handheld look
