Leaving D.C.
(2012)

I loved this film
I'm a big fan of found footage movies, and this I the best one I've seen. There's no jump scares, or special effects, but that's what makes this work. There is a steady build up of tension and an increasing sense of isolation and dread.. I was born and raised in WV, and know the Webster Springs area well. I also worked in the DC area for many years, and know the stress and pressures of dealing with that area. I think the lead actor did an excellent job of relaying the feelings of having escaped the rat race, only to find himself in a far more stressful environment. I would highly recommend this movie.

The Barn
(2018)

Better than expexted
I thought this movie was actually really good. The single setting of the rural farm created an atmosphere of familiarity , mixed with isolation and dread.. Some of its secrets are given up early, but this is intentional, as it creates questions , in the viewers mind, about who is, or who isn't, aware of what's going on. I thought Ken Samuels, as Gil, was fantastic as a troubled man dealing with his devotion to his community, while wrestling inner demons from his past. His relationships, with the people around him, were fairly compelling, and existed upon a fragile foundation of pain and a deep sense of loss. I recommend this movie. It isn't your typical horror movie, but I thought it was much better than some, more well known movies I have recently seen.
