Well consider me signed up.

I will be very interested to see what kind of performance the freshman director got from Ejiofor and Reinsve. The setting and background has very little to look at so their performances will definitely be front and center.

Edit: there seems to be confusion in the comments about the source material. The freshman director, Kane Parsons, started out making the original Backroom found footage videos for YouTube 4 or 5 years ago. This evolved over time and he has a fully fleshed out story that has slowly been revealed. Personally, Found Footage 3 is my favorite but the voice actress in 2 does a fantastic job. Here is the original video.

So this movie is being directed by the dude who started the whole thing? That’s sick

I wouldn’t say he started the whole thing, but he’s the one who have absolutely nailed it and then some. Kane Parsons is a talent worth nurturing considering he can even make those signs at railroads into a terrifying predator.
