A pretty solid horror that starts off really good as a faux documentary style drama about a serial killer plaguing the San Bernadino county area, but then halfway through the movie gets kinda ridiculous. Some of the footage felt authentic, but then some resorted to found footage type stuff that really took me out of the whole film. Also, this serial killer was inconsistent with his killings. Some were ludicrously methodical while others seemed almost slapstick. And before you could get any explanation for why his killings varied, the movie just ends leaving you with many questions snd a very unsatisfying ending. Anyways, this movie really fizzled out at the end. Waited for some kind of twist, but nothing. Very dissapointing.

Very Cthulhu mythos vibes The style of this movie is very "detectives talk to camera about horrible case, interspersed with cctv and bodycam" to retell a story. In this case the story is gruesome, mysterious, and gives very Cthulhu Mythos-vibes. While the cosmic horror element is very much an undertone, it does makes its appearance. All the acting is very straight-forward and earnest, and the directing is good enough. For the bodycam and 'action-shots' you can hide a lot in the edits, and with blurriness, and those sequences work too. Nothing pulls you out of the action because it looks poorly executed or out of place. As far as a horror-movie of this type goes, this is more than decent, and worth your time.
