Were do you start with attempting to disect a film that is this bad? Well, lets first get a major possible bias out of the way. I am a fan of found-footage horror movies, even loving the more controversial entries like ''The Visit.'' This however is the major flaw of this film, the handheld footage is of such high quality that it adds nothing but to the tacky feeling of this film.
One of the most aggresious problems with this film, was the way that it seemed to be obssesed with attempting to throw in every horror trope in the book. Creepy traditional looking guy, important news story ignored in the background, flat tyres. motels, spooky face in the dark, utterly idiotic decisions made by victims in chase scenes, creepy MGTOW looking guy that has issues with women.
As for the characters, well the obnoxious, histronic blonde that sounded like she was from Chelsea in London, was one of the most dislikable characters that I have ever seen in a horror film. Now, horror films are known for sometimes have annoying teenage boys and girls but this woman took it to a whole new level. At around 30 minutes into the film, the amount of schreeching and screaming she was doing close to the handheld camera, was forcing me to consider closing down this film, as my ears were expericing physical pain.
I gave this film two starts purely because of the latter 20 or 30 so minutes, were it finally became a horror film, even if a slightly below average one at the very best. They did nothing interesting with the background of the killer however, which just screamed lazy. The chase scene was filled with one facepalm after another and was mildy scary at best.
