The Sacrament

The Sacrament is one of those "found footage" horror films that I don't usually like. This turned out to be an exception. Obviously inspired by a real life event, the acting and cinematography were really good. It looked very good and not like those shaky, grainy etc. films of the same ilk.

Three on like journalists (one writer, one camera guy and one fashion photographer) follow a story in meeting and possibly takin with them the sister of one of them from a community that sounded weird on paper. The sister (the fashion photographer's sister seen in the pic) was happy and balanced on the phone but the directions to the place (a secret location accesible only via helicopter, then vehicles supplied by the community) are shady and they thought they could get a good news story out of this. At first the community -despite difficulties in entering through men with machine guns guarding the place- seemed peaceful and idyllic but as the evening approaches different things come to light.

I liked this one a lot and it made found footage proud.
