Don't watch the trailer! Just watch the movie. Immediately.

I know in my Sinister post I said how refreshing a change it was from all this found footage horror (even though technically that was found footage horror). Well this just re-invigorated my passion for it. This is something very very different. And while it's pretty much entirely comprised of found footage it is in-fact made in more of a documentary style.

Barry Levinson is the last person you would think of to make a film like this. But he's such a great film maker he seems to be able to do anything well. And he certainly brings something new to the table. This is like a found footage Contagion, just more confined and on steroids. Actually the music reminded me a lot of that film too.

Now at this stage it doesn't look like this is getting a release in Australia but, like Sinister, if it does, it's a must for horror fans. This is not big cheap shock scare horror, this really gets under your skin...
