AFFLICTED [2013]

The idea of watching yet another found footage horror film didn't really pique my interests...at all.
Much to my delight, I discovered Derek Lee & Cliff Prowse's Afflicted gave the genre a much needed kick in the gut.
Some of the idea behind why it's all being film gets a little outrageous but as long as your willing to accept it then you're in for a pretty wild ride.  It's well executed and cleverly written, with some excellent action sequences that all reminded me of the underrated Chronicle.  It's never particularly scary but does deliver with some truly disgusting and shocking moments that will please horror fans galore.
Truly an impressive debut feature that shows found footage films can still be effective when you throw some brains into the mix.
