Storyline

Cowen Rosewell lives with a small group of old friends in a scruffy flat in a small English town. Like many teens leaving school in 2014, there are few prospects or opportunities for people like Cowen and he has enrolled on a BTEC media course as a way of passing the time. His first assignment is to record everything in a week of his life. At first Cowen dismisses the random acts of violence he witnesses as the business as usual in a small English town. However, when one of his best friends is savagely attacked by a stranger, and in defending her they kill her assailant, the inexplicably serious nature of the dead assailant's injuries alert them to a more disturbing reality. As events escalate, Cowen and his friends discover that the town has come under a mysterious malign influence which is somehow controlling organised gangs who are rounding people up and taking them to a nearby factory.

User Reviews

Found footage that I'd preferred to stayed lost tbh.

I watched the trailer for this and then saw the rating on here, but couldn't really make sense of it.

Cause the trailer made it look like a pretty darn good movie for a found footage flick.

But while watching it it becomes painfully clear why the rating is the way it is.

No sense for tact and sub-par acting and characters that aren't particularly likable.

Starts off with a massive explosion in a building that lit up the skies, and what does our 'heroes' in the movie do? Well they throw a party of course!

There's countless of illogical acts performed by the characters through-out the movie, I will not disclose any more of them as that would kind of spoil it if you still chose to watch it.

But yeah put your brain on ice for this one if you necessarily feel like you should watch it, although I'm not sure that will work.

Nothing more to say about it really.
