Horror in the High Desert (2021)
Doon't bother
This movie is rubbish. It does has an intriguing story at its basis and some good actors along the way, even the locations are promising. But really, it's a dud. Slow-burn comes with the territory of Found Footage, but this movie has no payoff so it can't be considered slow-burn, it's just boring.
The ending, the famous so-called reveal was terrible. I wasn't sure if the monster was supposed to be someone wearing a mask at first, but later it's reveal that it was part of its design. So the makeup was at the level of a cheap Halloween mask. The poorly shot and had no suspense at all.
Don't bother.
Dark Places (2015)
A great indie mystery.
A great little movie. Slow and intense, it tells a very good story. Compelling as well as intriguing, the movie real characters. Normal human beings that for better or for worse are people dealing with their life in a desperate way of making things better. It is heart braking as well as full of hope even is the latter is harder to find at times. I had a great time watching this movie but I also didn't expect it to be Gone Girl - which is directed by David Fincher. Gilles Paquet-Brenner gives us a good mystery with a secret that doesn't reveal itself until the very end. Great cast, good script but this movie is more challenging than Fincher's. Gave it your absolute attention, and you will be rewarded.
