The mysterious disappearance (I guess, if someone disappears it’s going to be mysterious anyways, so maybe calling a disappearance mysterious is overkill) of a twelve year old catches the attention of a journalist. With the local police force unable to come up with any answers, the journalist and his videographer begin doing their own independent research and this is the material they were able to recover. There’s talk of black masses and Satanic worship but a friend on the police force tells them that’s all just gossip and that the missing girl will show up eventually. Not satisfied with the official stance, Marco digs deeper and some strange shit is unearthed. A recovered phone from another student paints to a very disturbing picture of a young girl with some otherworldly powers and the devastating trail of violent death she left in her wake. It goes deeper because of course it does and our two heroes find they may have bitten off way more than they can chew. Presented as a documentary pieced together with material from schoolmates, newscasts, interviews and footage from the two men scrambling around town for some kind of answer. Shaky performances are to be expected in micro-budget films with child actors (even the big productions have issues with kids) so it’s no surprise, that also goes for the digital effects but the work within a limited budget shows that Diego Carli knows exactly how to utilize what he can to craft a surprisingly enthralling suspense flick that hits familiar areas of horror but still manages to be interesting.
