Wow. Blink and you would have certainly missed Bryan Bertino’s found footage thriller MOCKINGBIRD, which has already been released on VOD platforms. We now have a trailer for Bertino’s latest, offering us our first good look at the film. If you’re getting sick of the found-footage format then you might want to look away because this is about as found-footage as it gets, folks. The trailer isn’t even in HD and it's a shaky cam mess for its entire minute and a half running time. Yikes.
While the trailer itself isn't all that bad, it has me wondering why the Blumhouse production has been rushed to VOD without much notice. Not exactly a good sign. Check it out below and see what you think.
Here’s what it’s about:
Three individuals each receive an anonymous, unmarked video camera and a horrific ultimatum to continue filming… or die. Experience the terror through the eyes of these unsuspecting victims, with a chain of found-footage events so real and absolutely dreadful, you’ll have to watch it again to believe it.
MOCKINGBIRD stars Todd Stashwick (“Justified,” “Heroes”), Audrey Marie Anderson, and Alexa Lydon.
