The House on Mansfield Street (2018) (UK)

⭐️⭐️


A documentary filmmaker does what he’s trained to do and documents his move from London to a smaller city. As he films his surroundings, a paranormal presence makes itself known in his new house. The footage was found on Nick Greene’s (our filmmaker) hard drive… so you can guess it didn’t end well for him. He’s got a new job lined up at a university, he’s got a cute neighbor who works at the same place and he’s looking forward to filming everything so he doesn’t get rusty. He hears knocks in his house and something messes up his freshly made bed… THE HORROR!!!! He finds a mysterious file on his computer which is disturbingly footage of him filming around town. So add that to the spooky noises you find in every haunted house and Nick’s intrigue outweighs his fear (at first) and he lands on a new reason to keep documenting things. Digital glitches show a man in a mask and hoodie combo pay a visit to Nick while he sleeps, forcing Nick to have a very British “freak out”. He kinda sighs, says “This is very strange” and instead of running out of the house screaming, he has some tea and makes some nosh. Bad dreams and escalating terror starts fucking with his head and a tarot reading by his neighbor points to some nefarious shit. I don’t know, it’s not necessarily a bad movie it’s just not all that interesting. If it was my first found footage movie it may have been good enough but I’ve seen hundreds of these damn things. Granted, it’s better than a lot of the shit that’s floated to the top of my Tubi queue.
