Reception

Film critic, Eric Lavallee, describes the film as a "bone-chilling... hybrid".[6] Utilizing found footage in a dramatic narrative, the film follows a broken real estate developer (Tergesen) who mysteriously disappears into the Southwest in 1992, leaving behind a series of VHS tapes to his employer and family.[7] Tergesen's performance especially has been praised by film critics.[8][9]
