Joel Anderson's 2008 mockumentary-style horror film opened the door for a really spooky discussion – not just about ghosts, found footage, and masterful low-budget horror – but also about grief, loss, true crime, and our role as consumers of those things. We talk about what it means for a horror film to feel "real", why we watch true crime, and how subtle special effects can be oh so scary. We spoil this movie here (thanks Cam), so be warned! This discussion pairs nicely with our episode from last week on Funny Games, so give that one a listen too if you have the guts. Feedback & Theories: [email protected]
