Viewing Notes
Props to Noah for reminding me of this. Possibly the most impressive thing about this movie is when it was made. Could this be the first true found footage movie? If not the first it’s easily one of the earliest. Really in disbelief that this was released in 1989 because so much of it feels more recent but meant to be a period flick. Definitely ahead of its time. Would be great to have on VHS and watch with a crowd.
