I didn’t follow the true-life rescue story from 2018 that this doc covers. I remember it happening but also remember it just being another news story about people lost in a cave, in a mine, or down a well. I … Continue reading
Considering I got to the point of referencing any found footage film as “yet another found footage film”, I was a little hesitant to watch this Shudder documentary. And I think I was ultimately right. This doc isn’t terrible but … Continue reading
