31 Day Horror Challenge Day Six: The Lost Coast Tapes(2012)

I generally love slow moving films.  They tend to do such a great job of building character development, story and suspense.  However, there has to be something to build on and there has to be some form of pay off.  That was the problem with this picture, it had neither.

A young, pretentious film crew from Los Angeles embarks on a mission to interview a man in Northern California who claims he has killed a Sasquatch and has the body to prove it.  Strange noises occur and the crew is abandoned at the cabin in the woods they are staying in.  It leads up to a far less than satisfying conclusion and seems to confuse even itself.

The found footage genre is getting more and more common and while there are good films that use this technique out there, I don’t think this is one of them.  I would recommend watching The Blair Witch Project or Grave Encounters instead.  It was more than a little disappointing.

3/10 stars.
