Bermuda Triangle Revealed: The Devil's Graveyards (2014)
Pseudo-documentary tries to be a thriller
This pseudo-documentary very successfully mimics the kind of cable TV "documentary" that appeals to scientifically illiterate conspiracy buffs. Described by some as a "found footage" horror film, it actually contains only a small bit of such fake footage along with a mix of real and fake historical photos, but none of it achieves ant real horror -- even the disturbing scene in which a boy is supposedly attacked by a dog is far too obviously phony to inspire any horror. While the film succeeds as an exercise in mimesis, it achieves nothing as a drama. It isn't scary. It isn't thrilling. It isn't funny. It is quite dull and tiresome. The actors do a pretty good job of simulating the "talking heads" of some pseudoscience piece of nonsense but this realism is scarcely entertaining.
