WARNING
IF you cannot disregard budget and need high end effects this movie is not for you, simply pick another one and move on.
Recommended watch for the moviebuff.
So to get down to it; This is a thriller/mystery/horror on an extremely low budget. If that does not scare you can you can focus on the plotline this will be a good watch because the strength here is all in it's plotline and the editing which keeps the pace up. The effects are better than anticipated for this type of movie, the gore is at times fully okey (discounting budgets). The movie has some source materials it draws from: Blair Witch project (1999), Donny Darko (2001) and probably Cube 1997/Hypercube 2002. It ends up being one of a handful of horrors during the last years that has something to them (like Don't blink 2014 or Coherence 2013) - note i'm not a horror fan and I do know there has been some pure horror/mysteries (and series collecting indie film plotlines - relaunching them as original works) during the last years that has been really well executed.
End notes: The social commentry hiding under the somewhat original subplot raises the rating a little, what does shine however is how the subplot is expanded into that commentary seamlessly and the movie as a whole - that was impressive. For those who like that kind of thing i can recommend the sci-fi action Predestination (2014) and the deeper movie Stalker (1979) which deals with the heavier subject of insight/enlightenment.
