Here we have yet another contribution to the mockumentary/found footage horror genre. When this style of storytelling is done competently, it can be rather effective in my opinion. Unfortunately, this is not one of those instances. The story itself isn't interesting enough to hold your attention throughout the entire film, quickly losing me after the first few minutes. The acting is abysmal even by found footage standards. Logic issues are prevalent, not to mention the poor editing at times. Low budget isn't an excuse anymore, honestly. I really hate to say this, but the most entertaining and exciting part of the movie is the woman taking her clothes off in the beginning. This is definitely not the worst movie I've seen, not even in this genre, but it's a far cry from some of the better films the genre has to offer.
