boring mockumentary that concludes with boring found footage. no tension, no point, no character

A solid found footage mockumentary type deal. I agree with Caeser below that it was believable and a nice story to follow. 9/10 for the genre 7/10 overall.

I walked in to this movie playing half way through. My wife said it was a documentary about a guy that disappeared and I believed her. After the movie ended and I was thoroughly unsettled she confided it was not real.

Basically, for the majority of the runtime, it's a generic recounting of a mysterious disappearance, like what you can see in every other true crime documentary. Except that this is a mockumentary, so keeping the viewer's attention is more challenging if it feels too ordinary/real. The whole time, I had the feeling that I had already seen a documentary about this disappearance, and that's because it strongly reminded me of the real case of a YouTuber named Kenny Veach (I recommend looking it up for curiosity). The mockumentary part wasn't filmed badly, but the final impression is greatly saved by the last 20 minutes of found footage, which gives you chills. It's a shame that the first part of the film doesn't bring anything interesting and it's just a simple, yet drawn-out, bridge to the main section — Gary's last moments.
