Audience Reviews

eboogyman Aug 17, 2026
The mash-up of mockumetary and slasher is kind of an odd mix. A pretty unique take on both genres, if you go into it knowing its being presented with a level of camp, then I think you'll enjoy it. Others who just like the mockmentary style, likely already understand a level of letting things go a bit in order for the story to work and thats ok. As a fan of both genres, I found it fun.
