⭐️1/2
Well, I said “fuck it” and decided to finish this found footage trilogy in one sitting. It’s just the kind of guy I am. After the revelation that landed as the last film came to a close, we pick up with Ivana’s sister Linda and her boyfriend Tom heading into that familiar and dangerous patch of woods to find her missing sibling. Now that we know things may not exactly be as supernatural as they initially seemed, it doesn’t make the situation any less dangerous. There’s still been plenty of corpses found buried in the soil to prove that fact. Spooky shit is plaguing Linda even before her fateful journey into the dark forest as her quest for answers just brings about more questions. The duo bring along a couple cameras hoping to catch anything that will lead to figuring out Ivana’s whereabouts or at the very least, her fate. Not knowing, that’s a real killer… I mean, outside of the actual killer. Linda and Tom stay after dark, misfortune comes and Linda figures out what happened to her sister in the worst way possible. An abundance of wandering around in the dark with night vision going has this outing come off lazier than the prior entries and the abandoned factory where our heroes spend a bunch of time lacks the atmosphere provided by the woods. The problem with dropping the monster angle in favor of a human psychopath angle is that the supernatural is put on the back burner and the slasher-lite shenanigans and snuff film bullshit are more boring than a goat-man prowling the woods and getting up to no good. It’s not great and thanks to an enjoyable proceeding pair of flicks it feels like a bigger slap to the face than a lot of these found footage flicks tossed together by bored friends on a weekend. Undoubtedly the weakest of the series and it’s for the best that it ended here.
