I know that you're a found footage fan, so I say check it out; you may wind up liking it...

The gist is that a couple goes off into the middle of nowhere so that the husband can focus on creating a film... While out there, they see these creepy totems and it turns out that the creator is a Banksy-like persona that is incredibly mysterious... From there they become obsessed with his art and folklore...

Honestly, I applaud it for having more of an original concept - Not your run-of-the-mill haunting... What irked me was that the characters weren't likeable, they made really poor decisions, and there were some moments where you had to ask WHY ARE THEY FILMING?? I know that that happens with most found footage but if it's done well, you don't focus on it. The movie also is going for an absurd kind of feel (like yellobrickroad and The Corridor), but it just wasn't successful...

Netflix thought I would love it but I was not a huge fan. But, again, if you're a found footage fan, I say check it out. My husband actually enjoyed the first third of it (but eventually gave up).

I don't really care about people not putting down the camera. I don't see why everyone is so focused on attacking found footage films on that aspect.
