Found Footage? Pretty Good regardless.

Summary: A couple of guys are making a documentary about a conspiracy theorist. The conspiracy kook disappears and the filmmakers get involved in the same stuff that probably lead to the disappearance.

Firstly, lemme say, I'm not so sure you'd categorize this as found footage since the voices and faces of the secret society have been censored. Besides that, this film is pretty good. The acting is good, although it's tough to tell when these guys go undercover because everything is edited, which makes it not found footage in my book. For me, since I don't believe in that stupid conspiracy crap, the film almost lost me when the fat kook guy was explaining how several events linked each other. Anyways, everything is very realistic. There are some parts that are suspenseful, but I don't understand how this is called a horror. Thriller, maybe. Horror, f*ck no. I've been to a secret society gathering/party, secret is meant to be used very loosely in my case though, and that made the part of the movie when they've infiltrated the club feel very real to me. Again, if you're looking to be scared, stay away. But, if you like realistic "found footage," or "docu-drama," (whatever), then I'd suggest this. I can't in good conscience call this a horror or even a thriller, but..., I did enjoy how real this... thing, felt. Near the end, it started to lose the realism. Then, the end made it seem real again, which I liked.
