7/10
Not what you expect from Ti West.

First of all I have to say that I love Ti West's previous work and I was really waiting for this one, having read the good reviews back from the Festivals. So it starts slow, like you'd expect if you know the guy, but it's interesting. I didn't know about the real events that occurred before I heard of this movie, so I didn't really know what was gonna happen, and as the story kept going, I didn't lose interest or anything. It's not really a Found Footage since it's actually shot as a documentary so the shaky cams aren't THAT shaky. If you're not a ff aficionados, you might still dig this flick. Anyway, when the movie ended I was...well it's definitely not an "in your face" horror movie, and it's good that way. Ti West did a nice job and the tension is well built, we care for the guys involved in the situation even though a regular filming wouldn't have changed anything to the film. It's not West's best but it's still really enjoyable...sort of.

Great story. Poor people. Mass MURDER ( not suicide I'd say ). 7/10
