I fell for the hype.
I rented Dagr on YouTube and I am very disappointed. This is such a bog standard found footage film it feels like I've already seen it!
How any filmmakers can produce something this generic is beyond me.
And well, if you're going to copy something copy something good at least. Maybe even try putting a new spin on it.
This is just lazy film making. I get it's ultra low budget but don't then try getting us to believe it's on a Blair Witch level of creativity. It's not. Far from it.
The acting is terrible. Yep I get the YouTubers are probably supposed to be annoying but the whole thing just feels like a joke.
There's no actual tension. Not even a decent jump scare to give us something to feel.
There's so many better movies about strange cults. Watch one of them instead.
Even though it's not amazing itself if you want to watch a modern take on British cults this year then try Lord of Misrule. Again it's not amazing but it's far better than this.
