A trio of YouTubers set up for a weekend in the abandoned Suicide House and police are looking over the hard drives of the footage. Summer is the only one of the three to make it out alive and the lead detective is not as eager as her partner to pin the murders on the young girl. Summer and Kai secure the rights to film in the house where a long string of murders and suicides have plagued the location and fill the audience in on the wretched history. Freshly hired Steven films and takes care of the technical aspects for the team who have pretty much accepted him as one of their own. They’re affable enough in that they don’t seem like outright dickheads but their performances aren’t exactly convincing so I’m not sure if that was even on purpose. It’s revealed pretty quick that the team are not above hoaxing the spookiness and it would seem that may be what they have to resort to when the first night in the place is uneventful. After securing an interview following her release from a mental health facility, one of the few survivors of the house begs them to leave the place because of how dangerous it is. A faked communication with the great beyond takes an unfortunate turn and something malicious makes contact soon after. Kai and Summer think Steven is responsible but that tune shifts when the slight spookshow theatrics begin to hit with regularity and Kai starts acting strange. Death and a general failure at dramatics brings the footage to a close. It’s not strictly found footage but it could have been because I kinda forgot the police shit that bookends everything and you will to. Filmmaker Brendan Rudnicki would go on to make some better flicks (Shadows of Bigfoot, Horror in the Forest) but still stumbles at times (the dismal The Last Cabin). Still, I like his found footage love so I’ll be watching em all.
