It’s not original to have a found footage film with an unlikable main character. It is a bit of a surprise when the unlikable main character is an anti-vax, anti-mask type that gets her jollies harassing workers for following policy on masks and social distancing. There’s enough of that on YouTube, I’m not sure I need a fictionalized account of one these self-satisfied entitled children encountering actual evil in an excessively shaky found footage film.

But that’s what we get… a woman who live streams everything from her free-style singing to her anti-mask raids on businesses. She gets embroiled in some weird and bloody supernatural stuff while keeping her camera rolling.

To a certain percentage of the audience, this insufferable child will seem like a reasonable, logical person they’d have a bear with at a Q-Anon rally. Fair enough – every movie has to have a protagonist and at least this one swung for the fences.

I’m not sure a full length movie is justified in this case though. Not just because the character is unlikable (by my standards), but because the found footage gimmick just goes on and on and on. Nothing really original or inventive and some of the shaky camerawork makes Blair Witch Project look like a Steadicam shot from The Shining. I was annoyed and sick of the jittery camera and how occasionally the screen would just go black (for realism, no doubt).

The flick is occasionally nice ‘n bloody and has interesting makeup and special effects worked into the shaking camera. Maybe they wouldn’t work so well with a more stationary production but at least they did an occasionally admirable job at working with their editing decisions.

But I just didn’t find the movie enjoyable, interesting, or unique beyond the extra helpings of dislike for the main character. And, hey, if you think raiding a store adhering to mask mandates and calling everyone you disagree with politically a libtard and sheeple, then maybe this is the perfect movie for you. Have at it, Hoss.
