Pestilenz

I am a huge fan of FF (Found Footage) horror films and in my search for them online , i came across this German film that had a promising description.

The film has a very usual FF horror technique. A team of 3 decide to document mysterious deaths in San Diego Village what seems like plague but doctors are unable to explain the cause .

The first signs of crack in this short film comes when the team members start arguing and fighting over personal things . It just irritated me and the fact is , it just doesn't stop until the climax. Just a few creeps come here and there as the masked dude pops up from random places until at the end they are confronted by the masked dude and the rest is pretty much known .

Trust me, the climax is such a yawn fest, no chills, no creep nothing . The fat lady just keeps running around the house instead of running away from it , trying to outsmart the masked dude which imo was pretty silly and hilarious but the way it is shot is pretty boring .

Instead the film leaves you totally confused as to what exactly is happening in the village. There is no clear answer given really.

Overall, a pretty much waste of time.

I didn't expect much and that was what I got. This one was obviously shot on a tiny budget but since the same can be said about The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity that's usually not an issue with found footage movies. But who does found footage 2019? Only people with a lack of money and ideas. The story contains nothing new, beside some ridiculous turns and the acting is horrible. I will never understand why people still cast Thomas Goersch who proves over and over he can't act to save his life.
