Mark Duplass plays an oddball who hires a videographer
played by Patrick Brice for a personal project. What starts off as just a little bit of an
awkward situation devolves into a nightmare.
Patrick Brice directs the film with Duplass and himself credited as
writing it. I’m assuming there wasn’t
much of a script and that they adlibbed much of the film (which is
impressive). It’s a well-crafted
found-footage story because it constantly keeps the audience guessing. At times I laughed and then started to feel
that gut-twisting sense that something bad was going to happen. I highly enjoyed this film and expect it to
become a horror genre classic. Grade: A
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
