10 Mar
Summary
- Found footage horror film utilizes cop bodycams for a grim, atmospheric experience.
- Filmed in Alberta, Canada, it uses derelict locations for a gritty supernatural tale.
- The film effectively uses digital effects for its low-budget horror.
A new low-budget horror film leverages body-worn cameras from two police officers responding to a domestic violence call. The found-footage style, filmed in Alberta, Canada, immerses viewers in a supernatural encounter.
The film's setting in a neighborhood known for methamphetamine addicts adds a grim realism. It utilizes derelict locations to enhance the eerie atmosphere of the unfolding terror.
While the bodycam conceit cleverly bypasses the usual question of why filming continues, it also limits narrative flexibility. The continuous perspective can feel claustrophobic, restricting character development.
Despite these formal constraints, the film excels with its atmospheric eeriness and jump-scares. Intelligent use of digital effects contributes to its undeniable energy and spookiness, offering a compelling low-budget horror experience.
