Obayifo Project

This is just an inauthentic Mexican version of the Blair Witch Project, mixed with a lot of first person video gaming sequences. I didn't get scared or whatsoever, I got nostalgic and laughed a lot. It does have the same plot, the 3 students with the first person recording, i don't understand how it got 7.0 on rank and online I saw it have 9.9 crazy right? Looking forward to see more.

Waste of time.the film is not contain horror essentials. The main content is good but it is possible to make better than this. It kind of low production paranormal activity. Standart bad horror film quality. You will not understand what you saw. Production limit is probably 300 bucks. It's already half of camera price. If you never have any expectations maybe you could watch as youtube video. There is a lot of youtube channel to better records instead of this film.

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from Obayifo Project, but it completely pulled me in. It's one of those indie horror films that, despite its budget limitations, manages to create an eerie atmosphere and keep you hooked from start to finish.

The best thing about it is how it uses found-footage without falling into the usual clichés. It feels authentic, almost like a documentary, making the story seem real. Plus, the fact that it explores Obayifo mythology-something rarely seen in horror films-gives it a fresh and unique touch.

That said, it's not perfect. There are moments when the pacing slows down a bit, and some scenes could have been more impactful with better lighting or editing. But honestly, that doesn't take away from the film's strengths. What it achieves with such limited resources is impressive, and the horror here isn't just about cheap jump scares but a constant sense of dread.

All in all, Obayifo Project is a great surprise. If you enjoy horror movies that try something different and can appreciate independent filmmaking, this one is definitely worth watching.

Obayifo Project proves that found-footage horror is far from dead. Paco Arasanz breathes new life into the subgenre by merging documentary-style filmmaking with African mysticism, delivering a terrifying ride that feels both fresh and deeply unsettling.

The film's strength lies in its slow-burn horror. Unlike typical jump-scare-heavy thrillers, Obayifo Project relies on psychological dread. From the very start, the audience senses that something is terribly wrong, but Arasanz doesn't reveal his hand too soon. He expertly layers tension, allowing unease to build naturally.

Julio and his team's descent into supernatural horror is portrayed with a level of authenticity that makes their terror palpable. The eerie sound design-filled with whispers, distant chanting, and static interference-adds to the immersive horror. Meanwhile, the use of minimal lighting and shaky camera work ensures that the viewer is always on edge.

Horror fans will appreciate the film's respect for folklore and its ability to evoke fear through storytelling rather than cheap tricks. Obayifo Project is an intelligent, atmospheric, and truly terrifying experience that will leave audiences speechless.

This one took me by surprise and ticked all the boxes for my found footage addiction. Had a great premise and characters that I never got tired of following. Too often with found footage, I get tired of the same cookie-cutter characters doing stupid things and screaming at the camera for 90 minutes straight, but this one didn't get tiring or wear thin and the atmosphere and sense of mystery really kept me engaged throughout.

Without going into spoilers, I also liked that it did some interesting and unexpected things that made it feel more real for me in terms of character's reactions and plot twists.

Nowadays, you have to say "not for everyone" since people's reactions are too extreme, but if you're a fan of this genre then I highly recommend finding a way to check this one out.
