Investigative reporter T. Edi (Constance Brennerman) gets a lead on the
on-camera murder of young actress Betsy Wiltern (Tania Fox), but when she
and her cameraman (Joston Tneney) witness the couple the lead's coming
from, James (Rick Williamson) and Sabine (Alicia Seaton), they have very
little to offer and even suggest out heroes go to the police. This of
course only gets to detectives (Carlos Javier Castillo) interested in
their involvement with Betsy, for which they have good answers though. But
the more James and Sabine make themselves seem innocent, the more
convinced does T. Edie become they're actually Betsy's killers. But unable
to prove anything, she finds herself forced to having to play their game -
which includes awakening T. Edi's killer instinct. Enter Delilah (Jessica
Ruth Bell), a young actress just like Betsy, whom James and Sabine have
invited for an audition, one that T. Edi is to also attend ... Genre
veteran Monique Parent plays Betsy's rather desperate mother. Over
the last quarter or so century, the found footage genre has lost much of
its bite, and in fact it's been quite a while since I've seen a found
footage movie quite as disturbing as this one. And disturbing not because
it's excessively btutal (as a matter of fact, there's hardly any
violence in this one) but because it gives its viewer a very uncomfortable
fly-on-the-wall position within the proceedings, proceedings that quickly
shift towards the immoral, to a point where the line between victim and
perpetrator is not only blurred but wiped out. And the found footage
approach for a change seems to be made for this kind of moral ambiguity.
On top of that, the ensemble give very down-to-earth, believable
performances, only enhancing the horrors of the situation. But as
disturbing as this film might be, it's also well worth a watch - if you're
into being challenged as a viewer that is.
