Overview
When Rebecca went away to college, her boyfriend John thought video chatting would help them stay in touch. But idle curiosity leads to a dark secret when Rebecca and John video chat with Vera Madeline, an online psychic, who initiates a deadly reign of terror over their lives. The Collingswood Story is an innovative and acclaimed micro budget horror film by writer/director Mike Costanza. It’s the first found footage film to be viewed through webcams, which helped pave the way for future hits such as Host, Paranormal Activity, and Unfriended. Its macabre tale of murder, ritual, and mystery is told through an immersive interface where each character uses a cam for their own voyeuristic purposes - to communicate, to investigate, and to victimize - ultimately becoming witness to a shocking and disturbing finish!

Viewing Notes
TRR watch party for this recently re-released movie from Cauldron. Post-Blair Witch Project found footage that still predates most FF flicks by a long margin esp. using this format (computer, internet, webcam). I give it credit for that but otherwise it’s not very good. It’s like that had a good nugget of an idea but couldn’t really make it materialize on screen in a way to make it interesting or effective.
wow I guess it’s also streaming on Prime rn. Wild.
