User Reviews
SlasherSteve – 8/10
“This movie is a love letter to slasher fans. The blend of mockumentary and real horror is genius, and Leslie's charismatic madness had me hooked. It's not the scariest thing I've seen, but the meta-commentary on horror classics is pure gold.”
NightOwl – 7/10
“I really enjoyed the concept and the execution, but the pacing drags in the middle. The ending, though, is a creepy payoff that makes up for it. If you're into 'Scream' style self-awareness, give it a shot.”
HorrorNerd – 5/10
“It had some good ideas, but I felt the character of Leslie was too cartoonish to be truly scary. The behind-the-scenes approach was unique, but the horror fell flat for me. I get why people like it, but it's not my cup of tea.”
CreepyCarla – 6/10
“As a fan of found footage, I appreciated the fresh take, but the tonal shifts from comedic to serious felt jarring. The actress playing the documentarian was solid, and the twist at the end gave me chills, just not enough to fully redeem it.”
