Review title: Should have stayed an independent
Product review: This film is not a piece of cinema, but an amateur horror film. Some people find this its most compelling aspect, it makes it believable to them, but it is in the end the film's achilles heel. Had "dan and ed" been schooled in the classics, they might have come up with a dense and interesting film, using the SAME TECHNIQUES. They simply lack the visual and narrative grammar to carry it off. Instead, the film comes off as sloppy and weak-storied. There's a ton of backstory, but the film itself lacks depth, intencity and direction. This film is a wasted opportunity to show the world the power of mockumentary filmmaking. Try Cannibal Holocaust (1980, Italian) on for size. This is a horror movie to scare only first-time filmgoers.
