so this is where it all began

Rating: 7/10 (27 April 2015)

this is where the found footage genre really took off. as a movie, it's absolute crap. however, as a marketing gimmick, it's brilliant. How people are so gullible to believe it's real is beyond me, however my hats of to the filmmakers for taking advantage of the audience in a good way. the original is still the best, so if you are curious about this series, this is the film to check out first. the rest are just more of the same, without the novelty factor. just know that this isn't a film in the traditional sense, there is no cinematography, no actors giving any performance, it's more of a performance piece, a film social experiment if you will.
