Centered around the ruins of a church in Clophill, England, this mockumentary uses mostly genuine interviews from local townsfolk to heighten the mystique around the location. If you've ever seen a single real documentary on paranormal activity or an episode of the many investigation shows that litter the airwaves then this film should hold no surprises. After all the local rumors of devil worship and black masses being held at the church, it's blatantly obvious where the plot is headed. With only a few attempts to scare the audience, the rest of the time is spent stumbling around in the dark and staring at old tombstones. I appreciate the concept of concealing the fiction beneath a veil of truth, but it makes me wonder why the filmmakers didn't just go the full monty and do a complete documentary on the location. It would have been more interesting than the farce that was produced.
