This film is supposed to be taking place during peak pandemic, and I have to suspend my belief extremely high in order to believe that because, none of the characters that appear on screen are wearing masks (with exception for the few doctors that are present). The main characters are detectives and they should be wearing gloves during their explorations of crime scenes so as to not tamper with evidence/catch something but they have NO HAND COVERINGS AT ALL during the duration of the film. Another thing, the plot progression of the film feels slow and fast at the same time, like when you focus on the film it feels like nothing happens but then you turn your head for a second and the characters blaze through three different filming locations. It also feels like the director was doing too much by adding a human sacrificial cult/nefarious god layer to it.
Though there is one thing I can praise about the movie, it's the visuals. It looks like the film has a brown or orange filter over the camera the entire movie. Personally I don't have an issue with the monotone feel it gives the film but I can see how it could get annoying to other watchers. The orange filter gives it a gritty and almost black and white feeling to it. It feels like a college student's experimental art project and I'm all here for it. I love the camera angles that the film pushes for, some of the scenes are with the camera shoved in the middle of everything and other shots feel like a true audience, observers peering in.
I would not recommend this film to a friend or anyone for that matter, but this is a good movie to watch casually with a group of friends where you can all freely make the film together, like a bonding experience.
