A conspiracy thriller which builds into a Lovecraftian horror as a journalist searches for her friend who was last seen experimenting with MKUltra, which sounds like a tasty future burger, but it’s not, it’s a dangerous hallucinogenic developed by the big bad government.
It starts off by retracing the same tired steps as recent found footage features The Dyatlov Pass Incident and The Conspiracy, in that we follow an unlikeable protagonist saunter down a dirty rabbit hole as they try to solve an all-new X-file, but I liked how first-time director, Blair Erickson, tried to keep things interesting by mixing in some live action segments and the addition of Ted Levine as a burnt-out theorist, was a welcome surprise.
It’s really nothing new, but you might enjoy it if not watched back-to-back with the other two films mentioned.
