I feel bad only giving this a 6 because ultimately I enjoyed it. The last 30 mins were really good, the last 10 of those were brilliant and had chaotic elements that reminded me a bit of cabin in the woods.
My issue is that the setup for it all, basically the first hour of the movie is pretty slow and not much happens (though I did love the Doina advert). It didn't really hold my attention.
It's worth sticking with. It won't go down as one of my favourite found footage movies, but it's a solid effort.
I was very surprised with how well some of the effects were done, and a special mention should go to the production design. There are some paintings on the wall in the basement that have a 'folk art' style similar to what we see in Ari Aster's Midsommar, which were very effective.
