The Phoenix Tapes '97

4 annoying guys on a camping tour drinking alcohol and making jokes that aren't funny, until they get abducted from creatures, apparently from the mothership in the sky. Like one of these in Starcraft 2. The 4 annoying guys immediately start to panic and turn into 4 Sissies. Let's hope, they will never come back.

Seems very realistically done. There's even a written nod to Blair thrown in early on.

Very much suprised by this small gem of a film, Have a slight love/hate relationship with found footage films but this one stood out and as a SCIFI lover it gave me a slight biast i guess.

Would recomend.

This movie is technically well done, it looks authentic and even tries to cover some of the basic FF genre cliches.

The problem is that it tries to be too authentic. This is why it barely has any comprehensive story and the events that occur are not particularly interesting or scary. It's short, gets somewhat repetitive and overall doesn't feel like an experience, but rather a short YouTube pseudo-FF film. The "father's" acting wasn't great as well.

Can't say I wasted my time (since it's relatively short), but it was essentially unable to share any sort of tension, scare or emotion with me.

I would maybe recommend it to FF genre fans, but there are much better films here to enjoy.

If you want a good entertaining ride you can open your mind up too. This one isn't bad. If your an ufo buff, and enjoy found footage movies than this one is for you. So grab some popcorn and enjoy the ride... the truth is out there
