People who have Shudder.
Do you ever click on the Shudder TV option in the hope something is just finishing up and you can watch something from the beginning? Why I sometimes do this I'm not exactly sure. Something to do with not wasting time choosing something I guess. Anyway this came on after Proxy finished and there was no title card or any opening credits so I had no idea what I was watching.
It was good.
One of the best found-footage films, maybe even THE best. Its secrets are fairly simple. Make it scary and move it along at a brisk pace. This film is never allowed to drag and we are invited to join the dots like the characters up to the genuinely chilling finale.
