Honestly, I was expecting more of the boring Blair Witch nothing. Another found footage movie with some noises and the odd jump scare, and not much else.
But this movie was a pleasant surprise. It basically follows a live stream jackass who is staying in a haunted house. The movie is serious and silly at the same time. The whole thing is done straight up, but as the main character is a cowardly ass, his reactions end up being comical half the time. It very much gives off Evil Dead vibes. An attempt at horror while knowing your limitations.
The special effects are kind of meh. But for a low budget film, they did surprising well. Obvious masks and prosthetics and such. But it worked decently.
The acting is all over the place, which makes sense. He's basically a random streamer who's self centered and cowardly and wants to be the center of attention. We've all seen countless like him.
The horror aspects actually work decently. There are a lot of great creepy moments where you're waiting for the jump. A couple of times there is one, other times there isn't, which leaves you all the more jumpy. And again, working with what they had, they did a decent job of it.
Overall, well worth a watch. Much better than most of these types of films.
