The Glenarma Tapes

I personally love the found footage genre even if it gets a lot of hate, but this one was great. Plot got me from the jump even though it took a bit to get to the action. The acting was surprisingly good considering no one is well known. They did a great job on Plot, location, and acting. There was a surprisingly fun twist to the found footage genre that gave it a little something something. If you like found footage and are OK with a slow but steady build this could be one that you enjoy watching. I'd almost like a sequel/prequel even though the film doesn't necessarily need one, but I would watch it!

Found footage can be heavily hit or miss, but this one is most definitely a hit.

Drawing you in from the very start, with a lone survivor, at that point unnamed and unidentified out of the four missing students, you're hooked into figuring out which of the "lucky" four will survive their perilous trip to Glenarma forest...

From then, following along the life of Gordie and his friends, as they plan to go snoop on their teachers rendezvous in the forest... and that's, where the trouble starts.

As they're hunted down, each moment is filled with dread and tension as you wonder... which will be the "final girl" so to speak?

Ultimately, a fun found footage that doesn't end when the tapes do, but concludes with what happens after as well, leading to a satisfying, and ultimately hopeful ending despite the tragedies.

A must see for sure for found footage fans.
