The movie was fine, a bit dull and uneventful, but not shockingly horrible (or even really compelling) in any way.
the biggest problem I had with this film is the fact that it does not even follow its own logical set of rules, those established by the whole "found footage" pseudo-documentary series.
From the very beginning we're treated to a first-person camera view with the characters explicitly mentioning they are filming a documentary about some manner of satanic ritual or whatever.
It seems as though at some point the filmmakers apparently forgot this, as we start getting impossible camera angles, such as the view of an RV's front wheel as it comes to a violent halt, while all the characters with cameras are inside the RV.
We even get multiple impossible camera angles while they're all inside the shady looking lair, which would have to be the result of pre-existing security cameras inexplicably placed at waist-level.
At the same time, there begins to be background music, which might be in-place if it were at any point clear that the footage we see has been properly edited. In fact it clearly is not as the film goes along.
As for the content of the film itself, it was fairly ordinary and routine stuff. However, the environmental storytelling in particular was good, especially inside the "baddie lair". They did very little with it, though, and the actor portraying the Pastor was wildly ridiculous in his stiffness that it broke immersion several times because of how laughably absurd he came across.
