Matthew Butler-Hart’s film lurches from social-media comedy to shaky-cam bloodletting, but never comes near the primeval emotions of the Blair Witch Project it so often references
At one point in this found-footage paganistic slasher from British director Matthew Butler-Hart, Thea (Ellie Duckles), one of a pair of stereotypically annoying YouTubers, ironically performs the “I’m so sorry” monologue from the Blair Witch Project to camera. Dagr also comes prefaced with a Blair Witch-style opening statement that it has been cobbled together from their final footage. But Butler-Hart’s film doesn’t get anywhere near Blair Witch levels of primeval emotions – partly because of an ambitious and perhaps over-fussy structure, and partly because its digital-age perma-snark tone cancels out fear for much of it.
Thea and her running buddy Louise (Riz Moritz) pride themselves on being online Robin Hoods – filming “heists” of swag from the rich with their faces plastered over with giant emoticons,...
