Just when you think there is no more hope for found footage and mockumentaries, the vast sea of boring lookalikes and clones has expired its reign and there is a void. But, not anymore. This little movie, directed and written by Dutch Marich shows how can you make a good and creepy movie with little budget. Well, the movie is a mockumentary about disappearance of Gary Hinge(Eric Mencis), who was an experienced outdoor expert and vanished in the desert of Nevada. There are couple of interviewees like Gary´s sister Beverly, private investigator Salerno and couple of Gary´s friends who talk bout what could happen and we find out that Gary discovered something really creepy in the deep desert when he smelled smoke and stumbled upon a little cabin. Last third of the movie are videos of Gary´s last night and then movie turns into found footage run and scare action. The villain(s) look awesome that little minutes we see them on screen and overall atmosphere is ominous and hopeless, almost made me believe that really happened. The only illogical hole in the script for me was: someone drove Gary´s pickup truck on the other side of desert to fool authorities, but how did he or they get back to where they live, far in the desert? On foot? Anyway, this is a superb movie. Chilling and creepy. Recommendation.
