This is the closest thing I've seen to the early-to-mid 2000s style of home video filmmaking that I can recall for a very long time; I'm thinking along the lines of the films in the Fangoria Blood Drive collections and homemade short films like that.
This looks filmed on a home camera and offers that specific vibe, complete with trippy graphic effects at the end which feel like they're ripped straight out of the aforementioned era, notably from the films of Wicked Pixel Cinema.
All in all though, despite its nostalgic vibe it didn't entirely win me over because I felt like I've seen everything from this film in countless other films over the last 20+ years but I am curious to see more from the director. It was eerie (and short) enough to make it through to the end but the ending "twist" has been done to death in the early-to-mid 2000's that this film loses points from me for that long-overused "twist."
