7/10
Not perfect, but liked it more than I expected to.

I stumbled across this flick on Amazon Prime Video, and it wasn't terrible - it's actually a pretty fun entry in the found footage genre. Very briefly, it's about a news crew sent to interview a self-proclaimed "vampire family" who want the world to know that vampires are real, that their "ailment" is effectively a medical condition, that while they do drink blood, they have it sent to them via various blood banks versus obtaining it by hunting humans, and that they wish for the world to understand them and see things through their eyes. Said news crew head to the vampires' abode for a series of interviews with the family, and when the truth about the "family" starts presenting itself, shenanigans ensue.

It's definitely a flawed film - there are a lot of little inconsistencies all over the place (some of the explanations and happenings in the film feel either forced or very nonsensical, the dialogue between the characters feels sloppy at points, and these elements combined make the film feel rather uneven overall), but the premise alone makes the film worth the watch, most of the performances are very good, and the horror elements, along with the growing dread the hapless crew has to endure amidst the growing chaos keeps a decent tension going up to the end.

Overall, I did enjoy it. Definitely not a great film, but a pretty decent slice of horror.
