Bill's Short Reviews For Short Attention Spans
23 November 2018
A pretty nice entry in the found footage genre. There have been a lot of these, and frankly I have stopped watching them because the premise is pretty much the same for each one. Well, this one was different. There are multiple layers to this film, and the subplots weave in and out of each other expertly. There was some good payoff to this movie as well. A lot of found footage films leave you with more questions than answers. This one has plenty of answers for the viewer. This is about a couple of film students who go missing while filming footage of trying to summon "blinkman". Now the footage has been found by a failed directer. He wants to market this footage, and has a documentary crew following him around while he tries to do this. Along the way we have one very good jump scare, and a couple stomach churning moments. I Had to hit the pause button a couple times to freeze-frame and let the image sink in. Some of the effects were marred by the typical "dying camera" glitches, but hit that pause button & you can see them pretty well. Thank God for little to no shaky cam footage. The director has made a good, well layered found footage film. I Will be interested in seeing his future works.
