In November 2012 Rachel Kusza and her team of film makers travelled to Transylvania to document the Baciu forest.
The film crew were never heard from again. After searching for the film crew for two years, Rachels teacher finds the crews camera buried in the snow.
Before taking own life, Redman uploads the footage to the internet.
It shows the crews journey into the woods, but it also shows why locals refuse to enter the supposedly haunted forest.......
Some found footage movies can be original, if they have writers and film makers who can be bothered with their 'project'.
But then you get lazy film makers whom like to retread successful ground and put their own spin on that success. Here the magical spin is literally snow and a man with a beard.
Other than that, it's just The Blair Witch Project, right down to the white text on black stating that the crew were never seen again.
And it's a right chore to get through, even though it's just shy of ninety minutes.
So we get the predictable meet up, the warnings from the locals, the vox pop interviews with the locals, and the meet up with the weird person who knows a little too much about the legend.
And then the obligatory rest of the film walking through the forest, finding strange things, and the crew slowly coming apart and arguing before they go off into the dark and scream in the distance.
You've seen this film a thousand times before, and much better.
Thhis is the epitome of lazy film making, and like the makers, you just cannot be bothered with the finished 'project'.
I'd rather watch the best of Lionel Blair on loop for two weeks, rather than sit through this again.
