WNUF Halloween Special (2013)

I wouldn't call this a film, but more of a window into the past. I normally hate found footage films, but something about this was quite excellent. While I don't think it was scary in the slightest, or even all that funny, I think the way it was compiled, was great.

I have never seen something so authentic. For a second, I wanted to judge the acting, but then I realized that the acting was spot on. Where else can you hear dialogue delivered as fake as on any local news network?

The film basically plays as if somebody in 1988 pressed record on their VCR and left to either sleep or go somewhere else like so many of us used to do before the days of DVR. Some of the repeated commercials are fast forwarded through.

My appreciation of this "film" is completely nostalgia based. I don't even know if you could call it a film.

For once, we have something in the found footage genre that actually feels like it was found. The look, the sounds, the costumes, and everything else all felt truly authentic.

I can't praise it, or knock it. I don't even know if I can recommend it, unless you are feeling nostalgic or in a sentimental mood. No rating from me.
