Asthmatic Austic Goes to Camp

Warning: Spoilers
So I say spoilers, but that's imply there was a story here to be ruined by sharing of details. Fear not, hopefully you won't decide to watch this and save yourself the strain of eye rolling.

So a rich kid spends the first half of the movie constantly stuffing his face with loud food. He's watched some superior films in his life and makes notes of them. It's too be that didn't rub off in anyway other than a few random quotes.

My dude is flying to Hawaii at the start. Apparently he is going to college there. I find the ability to suspend my disbelief broken upon this premise. I don't believe he even got a GED. "Story" structure would show adequate proof of my claim. The whole thing plays out like an advertisement to a channel you'd dare someone you hated to watch.

In order for these folks to work you got to have a protagonist you care for; at the very least you don't want him annoying. Welp that's not happening at all. My dude wears these blue light blocking glasses as his "glasses" so you know when he is him, later in the film. I have a pair l, so I recognized them when they are constantly showing a mirror image.

He makes a vlog for his granny in Arizona. I guess there are people out there that's watch stuff like that. If you or someone you love watch annoying streamers or anyone on YouTube then you know the type of character you would be dealing with. It's like a special needs school of the Internet in so far as a bunch of mentally retaded people threaten and spell incorrectly with impunity, all the while needing much more schooling to make it in the world.

Random crazy stuff happens, in so far as a shadow and some random noises happen. Maybe if people locked their damn doors they wouldn't have all kinds of whatnot. Apparently there are microscopic life forms buried in rocks that can appear in the form of the main monster from my childhood book "Where the Wild Things Are."

He's a kid who is years late going to college but randomly drops made coin ti randomly buy a new iPhone. This is on top of this giant house he's living at in Hawaii. Got lots of expensive Apple toys. So Apple and YouTube are basically paid sponsors for the content of this film. Which is to say morally and thematically empty.

You want found footage door right, this movie felt like 4 hours. I watched The Blackwell Ghost movies 1-5 and only stopped to sleep because it was 9am. There's people you want to see and make a compelling narrative. Then there are the mouth breathers who spend the second half of the movie sounding like they just ran 40 miles uphill both ways with cars strapped to his legs. This is his "scared" acting heavy, heavy, heavy breathing. I'm not in shape and yet I can go more than half a foot without sounding like my lungs are in danger of imploding.

It's bad, man.
