Review of Afflicted (2014) by Stako — 20 Oct 2014
Afflicted is one of the more original found footage horror movies I've seen. It strays from most of the cliched staples of the genre. Honestly, it's one of the best horror movies ever made.
Afflicted is a movie that you have to know nothing about to enjoy to it's fullest. Don't read previews, don't watch trailers - avoid all kinds of spoilers. (this review is spoiler free) Afflicted has one of the best twists I've seen, both in terms of plot and in execution. This is very important if you want to enjoy the extremely well paced story.
The movie is directed by the two dudes who star in it, it's their first film and they do a wonderful job. The movie is short very nicely, without ever losing the typical sense of realism the FFH genre is famous for. The acting is very, very good. I especially have to mention the lead - Derek Lee who gives it his absolute all.
There is really nothing more that I can say more without spoiling something. I just recommend this movie to every horror or FFH enthusiast, it's very much worth the watch. Maybe it's not scary, or particularly creepy, but what it lacks in horror it makes up in a great plot with an awesome twist. Just care not to spoil it.
