Mundane conversations and outings drag on while the central mystery takes baby steps forward, suggesting that a shorter running time or a more developed script might have better served the originality of the premise.

There’s absence here, all right—of scares, of imagination, and of a good reason to pick up that camera in the first place.

There are many things absent from this found-footage horror movie, including suspense, logic, and originality.
