Yay Netflix!
A found footage movie set in 1995 where a couple, a young woman, and a young man are each given video cameras from an anonymous source. As they use the cameras, more gifts come, and the evening gets worse for them all.
This movie sucked balls. The acting was pretty solid, but other than that, fucking terrible.
And the camera work is a train wreck. Do you love black screen, impossible to see moving camera, long shots of nothing at all, etc? If so, you might love this film.
The story is juvenile horseshit. It begins with all these adults doing everything wrong. Every decision is wrong. When you see the end game, besides what you'll see coming from the very start of the film, you will laugh your ass off. It's complete garbage. Those of you familiar with firearms will really get a kick out of it. And the final reveal makes the film even stupider. I mean, stupid on a level you honestly cannot imagine.
Here's a pro tip: When you're trying to threaten people by showing them a video tape of you killing someone, try not to have the person screaming, "I've done everything you said" before you off them. It would give your new victims the idea that resistance is their only option. Well, actual, normal acting people, not the dimwits in this film who never even notice it.
Hey look, a spoiler filled review that agrees with me.
This film has a 4.1% rating on IMDB. That's how bad it is...
Never watch it, UNLESS you're coming to laugh at it.

Seriously, the logistics behind the story and the twist reveal do not go together at all.
