On December 31, 1999, four people entered a house located in the Blacklands of Texas to investigate supposed supernatural activity. They were never seen alive again. Two months later a video tape labeled with only the title “Blackwood Evil” was delivered to WBWE television in Sunrise, Texas. It chronicles the last hours in the lives of the four investigators as unseen demons take them one by one.

“I watched this movie on POVhorror and the 4:3 vhs transfer style add a lot to the atmosphere. I usually grade Found Footage movies on 4 catagories, so I will do so here:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e1. Characters: 7nThe main characters, a cameraman and the reporter have a chemistry that you would expect from a duo thats used to working together. There interactions are fun and seem realistic and I liked them both. One problem is an early antagonistic character, the owner of a property. This man is supposed to be annoying and derails the documentary, but I feel that because he gets so much lines and screentime, which I feel also frustrates the movie itself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e2. Setting: 7nRural USA, this starts as a great setting, but the biggest part of this movie plays out in a dilapidated building, at night. The VHS quailty does give it all an extra grimy look, which goes great with the mood.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e3. Reason to keep filming: 7nItu0026#39;s a documentary thatu0026#39;s trying to capture the paranormal, so this works.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e4. Story: 7nThis movie is from the year 2000. Just a year after the Blair Witch Project. Sure, a lot of this type of story is cliche by now, but I think this is a solid effort, specially because of when it was made.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSurely a good watch for FF nuts like me!”
