I watch a lot of FF films, so I've seen the same "paranormal investigators look into a haunted place" idea more times than you could possibly imagine. This film from director Valeri Lilov has some of the classic tropes of a found footage film, but with some refreshing changes as well. I haven't seen the search for a treasure as a central part of an FF film before, and it's an interesting angle. The locations are also really impressive, with wild abandoned buildings just crying out for urban exploration and caves as creepy as they are dark. There's even a cool museum sequence. The film isn't perfect, and there are some passages that are not fully found footage, but in terms of good looking visuals, good locations, an ld an interesting and unique framing story, you could to do a lot worse than this.

The movie had a pretty diverse cast (lots of ppl lol) the lead character was likable. The movie kept me engaged and wanting more. Especially the beginning intro scene. Pretty creepy stuff!!! The ending left me with lots of questions unanswered, but overall it was enjoyable. Hope to see a sequel. Im still not sure who/what was following them.... Idk. For a found footage it definitely had that blair witch feel and the locations used were great!! You cant even make that in a Hollywood studio, so awesome that they actually found places that have that creepy vibe. It definitely made me curious and i wanted to know more about the Thracian treasure!!! Give it a shot. I recommend watching it at night. Hope there is a blu ray release one day. Oh and for bonus points, the song at the credit roll was some kick ass heavy metal song! Don't usually hear that.
