The premise

After 20 years of living in Washington, D.C., Mark Klein seeks much-needed solace by moving to the remote wilds of West Virginia. To ease his loneliness, he sends regular video updates to members of his OCD-support group back in the city. But Mark gradually realizes that despite his new, isolated setting, he may not be alone. From the endless woods surrounding his home, something else is watching.

Horror Vault's take

A city dweller escapes the noise of Washington, D.C. for a quiet life deep in rural West Virginia — but solitude has a way of turning sinister. Documenting his new life through video updates for his OCD support group, Mark Klein finds the surrounding wilderness increasingly difficult to ignore, and even harder to trust. What begins as a personal journal of healing quietly transforms into something far more disturbing as the tree line stops feeling like a backdrop and starts feeling like a blind. Low-budget and deliberately paced, this faux-documentary leans hard into creeping dread over cheap scares.
