I thought it was very creepy. Full-on psychological terror. I've seen a lot of found-footage films, I'd say about 30 or 40 by now, and this is one of the few that actually benefits from utilizing this tired format. And Duplass is brilliant as Josef. I was surprised this is meant to be a horror comedy though, I didn't find it funny at all, but holy hell did it give me chills.
This is much better than average, as a found-footage character study. The performances are very good-but do performances matter so much within a sub-genre that purports to be a part of real life? The central character is unique and new, and his ideas are fascinating. He's a psycho, and I wish we'd known more about him. A worthwhile film. I didn't find it particularly scary, but it was certainly chilling.
While this film is very well made and acted, it is also an excellent found footage film with some genuinely creepy moments,it relies too heavily on jump scares to be great. At first, the jump scares made sense with what was going on int he scenes and the character but after halfway through the movie they just became unnecessary and just excessive on top of a film that was already unnerving me by its wonderful subtlety.
