I say mystery because it's not a horror movie like 99.9% of found footage movies usually are. Instead what we have is something a bit more original, and for the most part it works well.
A group of adult friends who have known each other since high school head out to the local woods to retrieve a time capsule box they buried years earlier. While split up looking for the capsule one of the friends disappears, leaving the group to try and solve the mystery of where their friend went, and determine if he disappeared on purpose or whether something more sinister is at foot.
Playing out as a mystery is a refreshing change to the genre, as the group of friends decipher clues and dig into their pasts while all along their missing friends mobile phone and social media continue to update as if he is alive and well. Is it all a practical joke? Or is someone toying with them?
Finding Randy is another micro budget found footage movie on the face of it, but it's one that I recommend mainly because the small cast throw everything into it, and the story has enough to intrigue until the end. Amazon Prime has so many found footage movies it's hard to spot the good ones amongst all the crap. This is one of the good ones however, and is definitely worth a watch if you like the genre and fancy something just a wee bit different. Recommend.
