The Levenger Tapes

Listen, horror movie directors: people wandering around the woods at night getting freaked out by sounds (or, worse, by thinking they hear sounds, which you don’t even hear) is A.) not a plot, and, B.) it’s been done. Blair Witch did it, they did it better than you, it can’t be repeated. Stop it. Another dreadful, zero budget first-person shooter where so little happens that it seems like they retroactively decided to film some non-first-person footage of police reviewing the “found footage” to see what happened to instersperse the non-action with, which still doesn’t save the complete absence of plot. Kids camp out at a remote cabin, see someone camping nearby who they hit & run earlier, and decided to go to his campsite in the middle of the night to apologize. Except, even more boring than that sounds. Mostly just kids walking through the woods at night. This film hits every bonus points cliche for the genre: character saying “never stop filming!”, one character suddenly disappears with no explanation, “Never stop filming! for whole damn movie, including situations no normal human would keep filming in, and camera suddenly hashes over and cuts out a split second after the villain/monster finally appears visibly in frame,first-person shot of camera laying on ground after attack, and randomly stumbling on abandoned house in the woods and wind up wandering around it. Plus a horror-cliche Oak Leaf Cluster for “no cell service”.
