And that's why he's packing his entourage (Daniel Rashid, Michelle Veintimilla, Maria DeCotis, Will Martin) to pay good Bryce a visit in his mansion, with the express intention of course of "exposing" him. And to his credit, Andy does get some pretty damning footage on Bryce. What he doesn't know though is that by visiting Bryce, he and his friends have stumbled right into the clutches of a Satanic cult, and one by one they're turned to the dark side ... <p> <p>Now I've never made it a secret, I'm not a big fan of found footage films - so it's rather refreshing that <b>Mean Spirited</b> takes a very loose approach to that approach and doesn't let it stand in the way of proper storytelling - and actually this film has much to offer, it successfully blends horror thriller with comedy, gets its chills but also its laughs from all the right places, and drives its story forward rather nicely. And a very likeable cast sure keeps things grounded, certainly helping in making this a pretty good genre piece. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2022"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
