#31daysofhorror day 10: They’re Outside (2020)

Mockumentary, folklore, grotesquely British protagonist

Don’t you wish your boyfriend accused you of saying shit wrong when he was actually saying it wrong & then cheated on you with some weird lady that believed in a green-eyed horned dude gyrating in the woods? Nah? Well, this horny, stupid bitch is apparently a psychiatrist, a filmmaker, & a carbon copy of the Butterfly Kisses protagonist & I’m very tired of it. Are all filmmakers this insufferable? The movie concept itself — ancient folklore couched in a found-footage investigation format could have been fascinating but it was lost in the noise of an insufferable protagonist & a complete misunderstanding of CBT & agoraphobia.
