The mystery of what happened to the explorer keeps pulling you forward even when the scares feel repetitive.
the relentless, inventive jump-scare craft from the Paranormal Activity team applied to a jungle setting.
you need grounded characters, since the found-footage gimmick prioritizes scares over depth.
