Hoax

About This Movie

So, 'Hoax' (2022) is one of those films that takes the found footage style and twists it with a science fiction horror vibe. You’ve got these four YouTubers heading into the eerie Dorset's New Forest, looking to document alien phenomena. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and it really plays on that fear of the unknown, which is effective. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but it adds to the sense of dread as things unfold. Practical effects are used well here, making some of the more disturbing moments feel raw and impactful. The performances, while sometimes a bit shaky, do a decent job of capturing that real-life urgency. It’s distinct in how it blends the real with the supernatural, creating a sense of unease that lingers long after the credits roll.
