Nightfox Reports: Reach Out and Touch Someone’s Mind
With my typical wide view I have spotted some more strangeness in the news as reports have been appearing across the country for the last week or two of people getting into accidents after running out into the street and attempting to attack passing cars with their bare hands or whatever improvised weapons they could grab. Several of them have been killed, struck down by the car they attacked or another vehicle streaking by. In a couple of cases people were struck by trains while apparently attack the tracks or the train cars with axes and shovels. One elderly woman was struck by a plane at Heathrow Airport as it took off. Witnesses say she was swinging at the landing gear with a garden hoe.

The found footage aspect in this movie was shot so well, with only a $60,000 budget. The footage felt so authentic, and the reactions/emotions of the three main cast members did a fine job. It truly felt like I was watching an actual documentary of what happened to three people in the woods, and the mention of the three of them still missing to this day was a nice take for the creepy storyline.
