The music and audio are not mixed very well and sometimes the music is louder than the characters talking, probably because it's the director's first movie, but despite this it's still worth a watch in my opinion, there are still some cool ideas, and it feels inspired by The Blair Witch Project from 1999, whether intentional or not.
