  Nice little faux-documentary playing with conspiracy theories of the new world order and government elites worshipping Mithra. The end falls into the usual found-footage formal traps and conventions, but it's mostly well-made and the performances are strong.

  Review by Slig001 ★★★

  Mockumentary come found footage yarn focusing around the idea of conspiracy theories. I was never all that interested in conspiracy theories until roughly about a year ago when I decided to look into a few. For some reason. Anyway, this film begins with a couple of documentary film makers interviewing a well known local conspiracy theorist, who promptly disappears, prompting them to begin looking into the stuff he was looking into. What an amazingly great concept this movie has! It's essentially a film of two halves - the first half sets the scene, giving us a rundown of the "theories" that will make up the backdrop, before moving into the story proper in the second half, and that's where it…

  Review by Tony the 1313 Terror😼🏳️‍🌈 ★★★

  This is a pretty decent little found footage movie that I know I’ve seen before, but ya know...drugs man.  I was on a lot of them in 2012 so I probably could stand to rewatch everything I saw then.

  The first half throws a lot of conspiracy theory stuff at you and it’s really talky so probably the more you’re in the mood for that kind of thing, the more you’ll enjoy it. The second half is where the story gets good and I was all on board until the very end when ehhhhhh not so great. Like I get what it’s supposed to imply but it just didn’t work for me based on the crazy stuff leading up to it.

  Review by F3lixL3g1ons ★★★★½

  "The truth is out there. But so are lies."
  — Dana Scully, The X-Files, S01E16, Young at Heart (February 11, 1994)

  Do you remember when The X-Files premiered? When conspiracy stuff was the hottest shit around? Was a blast, right? And then suddenly, as all good things must come to an end, so did the fun.

  Do I still want to believe? Yeah, sure. I want to believe so badly. That there's something more to life than the mundane. See, I don't give a fuck about "New World Order", "Illuminati" or "Jewish Bankers". All that matters is the question mark. What if…? Give me something to fuel my fantasy!

  'Conspiracy makes paranoia fun again. It shows the same cleverness only the early X-Files had and since has been lost. Even the thought something like 'Conspiracy just might be real makes it more fun than all wiki-listed conspiracy theories combined.

  Cheers for that, 'Conspiracy. Mithras is my only crown!

  Review by 👻 ★★★

  Creating a documentary about conspiracy theories and researchers is perfect for an amusing mockumentary. What I loved best was how the two major characters approached the matter in different ways. Jim was rational and logical, while Aaron was more passionate and pulled to the schemes they were intended to expose. This could have been the center of their friendship, but what had the potential to be a complex one was casually settled not long into the film. 
     I didn't feel there was enough sizable threat or urgency in this conspiracy thriller. They didn't look afraid, and the existence of any kind of threat wasn't presented to the viewer, despite the fact that they were witnessing a society for rich…

  Review by Sweetbaby ★★★★

  After mysteriously losin contact with a dedicated conspiracy theorist, filmmakers look to uncover The Conspiracy behind a secret society by attendin one of their meetings. Things get spooky.

  They did a great job of makin this feel like a legit documentary. All of the actors involved did good and this is well directed. I wanted a more aggressive endin, but the ending as it is fits perfect with the tone of the movie.

  Review by nathaxnne (hiatus) ★★ 1

  Whereas the motive engine which drives this civilization is sacrificial blood magicks in the furtherance of what is and what shall be, a gospel of prosperity and increase for those wielding the knives, there is no hidden conspiracy, rather a welter of immediate overlapping conspiracies operating in daylight right before you, generally indifferent to who knows what, dissolving and reforming on an as-needed basis, keeping secrets clumsily, even quite poorly, by means brutal and sloppy. A half star for engaging the cult of Mithras. A thousand invisible stars deducted for not even mentioning Beyonce.

  Review by DeathBolt ★★★

  Pretty solid mockumentary with an intriguing premise. What holds it back is the fact that that everything plays out in a really obvious way, it really doesn't throw many curveballs or do anything too surprising with the concept.

  Review by Tim McClelland ★★★½

  It starts off as a faux documentary, but it quickly morphs into simply a found footage movie. I'll give it credit for being far more interesting than I originally assumed. The ending works really well in tying together the earlier threads that popped up in the film and it felt satisfactory in a unique way as it gives everything you've seen a whole new context. I wouldn't call it a twist ending or anything like that. It's a true horror ending that builds wonderfully on the information they already gave the audience and I love that. A really interesting flick that is worth a look.

  Review by Matt ★★½

  Not as interesting as it was many moons ago when I saw it first, but still fun enough nonsense. It really loses the intrigue and momentum with a frankly daft climax where it simply turns into a silly horror, but all the build-up remains a chin-stroker of a mockumentary, even if you just know that it's loved largely by the same sort of people who idolize David Icke and think Google cares about their porn kinks.

  What's that?
  Can't tell
  Handheld dream
  Shot in hell
  Deep space ghetto streets
  Show me somethin'
  I ain't seen before
  Mystery 'hind that death door
  Juke step electrocute the floor
  What's the science of
  Flyin' that high?
  Got a no-no goin'
  One time!
  Creeps up behind me
  Over my shoulder
  Turn around, try to see, but it's
  Nowhere
  Noided, noided
  Static on my blindside

  
  
  

  I've seen footage, I stay noided, I've seen footage, I stay
  I've seen footage, I stay noided, I've seen footage, I stay
  I've seen footage, I stay noided, I've seen footage, I stay
  I've seen footage, I stay noided, I've seen footage, I stay
