A bit too heavy on the corn syrup I am happy to see Andrew in more than his goofy videos, and this is not a bad movie, by any stretch. It is not Autopsy of Jane Doe, but the found footage works well, makes sense narratively, and is not disruptive, as it is in so many other such movies. Andrew's part is great, and Zoe is well cast in this too. The story is nonsense, of course, but it is the sort of nonsense that works for a scary movie. I think, for me, the movie falls apart a bit at the end, with gratuitous use of corn-syrup that does not look like blood, and a medical scene which does not quite click, and seems to be there more for graphic shockvalue than as a plot-driving point. The last few minutes are not a good wrap-up to a story this tense, as it just goes into slasher territory. That's a shame, and it could have been handled better. It is still a very solid story, well told and well-acted. I recommend this.
