One of the things that make a movie like this possible is the widespread use of video devices. Almost everyone is a cameraman now. A good quality digital camera is now small enough to carry around at all times. The director uses this as a basis for believability for his film. A lot of people now get their news and other information from online. YouTube has been placed on millions of favorite lists around the world. It is this digital voyeurism that makes this film work as well as it does. Tiffany Shepis may give the performance of her career as the stern hospital matron. She is one of the many recognizable faces in this movie. Shepis is well known as an Indy horror scream queen who usually gets naked and then is killed. Here she plays against type shows that are talents extend far beyond what she is best known for. Also in the cast is George Wendt. Most know him as the loveable ‘Norm’ from television’s ‘Cheers.’ Here he also displays a depth to his performance that is incredible to watch.
The narrator, Tony Todd, enters and begins to explain the movie. In the early 1990s, Jonathan (writer/director Seth Landau) left New York to go back to Arizona to work as a therapist. What he found was a group of people who worshiped Bryan, a murder victim. This group was a cult that would not rest until all who do not follow Bryan are dealt with. He received a video camera as a gift, but when he began to use it to document what was going on, things started to go wrong for Jonathan. He recruited some friends to help, not knowing what he was getting them into. The film goes into this supposedly lost video with an impact that will slam the audience.
