Fourteen years after "Blair Witch," has the whole found-footage-horror genre jumped the shark? Maybe. Weiner, however, manipulates its well-worn tropes deftly. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
It's the first found-footage film I can remember to marry the 21st-century horror genre to classic horror from a century ago, and that makes it at least worth a look. Go to Full Review

Randal S @RT96217402 2 days ago Not great. Not horrible. We never get a good look at the monster, so I feel ripped off. I'm all for hiding the monster for ninety percent of the runtime, but unless your monster is something indescribable, like in Bird Box, you have to show it eventually. Also, stupid decisions abound See more Stephen T @RT16638851 Dec 25, 2024 Not a slasher gory film. It was awesome. It's reality based for if frankienstein was real. I hate the Blair witch kinda pov filming but this was great and done just right. Probably the only pov film I've ever said that about.

One of the better “found footage” movies See more Jun 13, 2017 This movie is not getting great reviews and I really don't understand why. It's certainly not a big budget movie but for fans of horror films this is certainly not bad. It's very similar in style to the Blair Witch Project. I would definitely recommend giving this a watch. See more May 21, 2017 Creating the air of mystery around what exactly is responsible for the attacks, and leaving the creature off focus for the whole movie for a shocking final reveal in the last sequence might have been more effective if the damn thing wasn't ALREADY ON THE BLOODY DVD COVER.
