Rent Beckoning the Butcher (2013)
3.3 of 5 from 59 ratings
1h 10min
An Australian found-footage horror, steeped inevitably in the trappings of 1999's 'Blair Witch Project', where we, the viewers, are invited to become the sixth member of a group of five bloggers. The group is filming a ghost hunt and, as we are, hope for some spooky manifestations. When the name of 'the butcher' is mentioned, they appear to get their wish.
The characters here are likeable (which is not always the case in such films) and naturalistically played, so when 'bad' things happen, we're given reason to care. Only physicist Shannon comes across as 'acting', and that is mainly because she is given spurious academic dialogue to help explain away the phenomena. A very good found-footage entry; my score is 9 out of 10.
