Sebastián Cordero directs Europa Report a slow-burning found footage sci-fi/thriller about an international crew of astronauts that travel to one of Jupiter's moons in search for signs of life.
While Gravity might hold the throne for this year's scariest space film, this little flick manages to hold it's own with an intensely creepy and moody atmosphere. In fact it's the whole tone of the film that holds everything together, because as with all found footage films, the viewer always knows the characters are all already dead so it loses it's suspense. I love the plausibility of all the catastrophic events depicted in the film, making for more of riveting experience than one would expect from such a low budget.
