Anchor Bay Canada was kind enough to send me a copy of this thinking it may interest me. So, I dutifully threw it into my player and had a look. I’m not a huge fan of found footage films, but I do find them easier to watch on the small screen, in a theater…

Chronicle (2012) – Josh Trank
I’m tired of hand-held, found footage type films.
