Followed returns back to those found footage films that were extremely popular at the turn of the century.

Found footage was a dime a dozen during that decade, but a few diamonds included The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity. These films were quickly produced due to its low and no-budget film style. A lot of its success depends on the storytelling.

And Followed uses the same formula for found footage horror movies that disappeared in recent years. Horror—check! Unwilling victims—check! A mystery to them after footage—check!

From director Antoine Le, the movie follows a social media influence ghost hunting in a creepy hotel.

Here’s the full synopsis:

When aspiring media influencer “DropTheMike” is offered a lucrative sponsorship to grow his channel, he’s joined by his video crew on a visit to one of the most haunted hotels in America, where he’ll give his audience a horrific night of thrill-seeking the likes of which they have never seen before. What begins as a fun investigative challenge, including the infamous Elevator Ritual, quickly descends into a personal hell of true evil, begging the timely question: how far would you go to pursue Internet fame?
