The movie was good. The meeting with the pastor was chilling. So was the break in to the church, the necklace stuff, the run around in the abandoned building.
The biggest flaw was the nonsense involving the girl and the 2 guys. Took too much time, didn’t mesh with the rest of the film, and it made the protagonists unlikeable.
I agree to an extent. However I think it actually made Ryan a bit more likeable, and showed that Mark really was a narcissist. It also helped to give a bit of reasoning to his decision at the end, so it all tied together. Personally I was more bothered by the ending. You saw it coming, you knew what was going to happen.. but there's no why. I get that the horror genre kinda thrives on the unknown element, but here it just made it feel like an opening to the rest of a story we didn't get to see. Found footage films can be great if there's an air of believability to them.. but the scary soundtrack at the end (and knowing this footage would easily damn the guilty parties and identify them) makes this one a little harder to swallow. But the tense build up and the running in the factory was great, and aside from those things mentioned above I think it was pretty good for an indie title on Netflix.
