Viewing Notes

I was in the mood for something creepy and picked this off NWI on a whim. Glad I did, as it really creeped me out, which isn’t easy these days!

Obviously done on a small budget and set, with only four actors, O’Reilly managed to make me sit up and get tense pretty early on. It’s a found-footage style movie, which I’m not a particularly huge fan of, but it works well here. It has hints of paranoia as exhibited in William Friedkin’s Bug; as well as some of the supernatural elements of the Paranormal Activity franchise.

Probably not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it quite a bit.
