A young guy obsessed with government secrets rounds up a gang to infiltrate a remote facility and uncover the dreadful truth.
Literal found footage - wait for the post-credits clip - and a voyage through the varying degrees of hand-held shakiness. I think it's well shot up to the 2/3 stage, then the jitters break loose and it gets a bit annoying.
The set-up is pretty much the tale of a depressed obsessive, and I enjoyed the characterisation. But they leave the impression he's a chosen one, which doesn't play out in the end. Also there's drama about bringing the girl on the mission, but she doesn't add to the climax.
Few sound effects - the editors very selective - and I don't think there was any music (apart from the party stuff).
Overall, it sets up well but falls short on spooks in its descent into Hardy Boys yarniness.
