Drybones

About This Movie

So, 'Drybones' is this intriguing found footage piece directed by Mackenzie Neil. It dives into the unsettling world of a cult that venerates the alleged bones of Jesus Christ. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing feels almost like a slow burn, where the tension just keeps simmering. Phil Waters, the lead, gives a pretty compelling performance—his descent into paranoia is well captured. What stands out is the practical effects; they really enhance the eerie authenticity of the documentary style. The themes of faith, exploitation, and the search for truth weave together in a way that keeps you pondering long after the credits roll. It’s definitely not your run-of-the-mill horror flick.
