Well, the production budget was only 5 mil. Not a high bar to clear! And yes, I mean bomb in terms of critical and fan reception, too. 30% freshness rating and all that. But call it "flopped" if you wish...
People will go see good horror movies but, back to the thread topic, I think found footage has breathed its last breath....for now.
