How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A suffocating descent into woods and madness told through found footage that blurs documentary and nightmare. The horror lives less in jump scares than in the dawning realization that the forest itself may be inescapable.

Reviews
I was surprised how well it actually worked, up to a point. As with all 1st person or found footage films, the believability of someone continuing to film when the situation gets particularly desperate, stretches credulity.
I wonder if there was a bet with someone on how many times they could work the word “DAT” into the film.
