    Apparently "on Netflix" and "you haven't heard of it" do not automatically equal Netflix original with $100M budget. Criticising this feels a bit like having a go at someone's kid's pictures on their fridge (unicorns don't have five legs, moron) because a bunch of (wanker) students have had a bit of a
    mess round and seen if they could make a movie with their mobiles. And, they couldn't.

    Particularly annoying student (I refuse to look up the "actor's" name) decides to film everything he does because [bullshit reason] and, wouldn't you know it, this is exactly the same time weird (and low-budget) things start happening
    in the eponymous suburb (infamous in the UK for a mass shooting that isn't referenced at all here). Very much of the found-footage school that doesn't stop videoing whatever happens (in my favourite scene he runs for his life while
    keeping camera pointing at his face). Bad on many, many levels, with an amazing
    last-scene speech to the camera that had was more laugh out loud hilarious than anything I've seen in a comedy this year.

    Of course, it's got a sequel.

    UNSOLD.

    The overwhelming majority of these "found footage" style films are
    complete and utter dross. I actually refuse to review them on my website
    now because I'm sick of being bored wading through hours of, what is essentially, home movie footage waiting for something interesting to
    happen, except it doesn't.

    Only decent one I've seen in recent years was "The Bay", which was
    actually quite good. However, I don't think I made it past the 15min
    mark when it came to watching "Creep" before switching off.

    At least THE BAY had a mix of different "found footage" types, with the
    closed circuit camera footage, pieces to camera etc etc. This is 100%
    shaky cam.
