David is a cigarette smoking, man-bun wearing, attention seeking, judgement hurling, ghost hunting vlogger. He’s invited by Carol to investigate activity in her home, with the one stipulation being to stay out of her grandmothers room. Of course David repeatedly tries to enter granny’s room and Carol gets mad.
Carol has a cute dog that, according to David, looks like he smelled something (no he doesn’t) and looks like he wants to eat him (no he doesn’t). This is just the beginning of David being an unlikeable idiot.
After meeting Carol and getting his cameras set up, David goes to his room and starts relating to his camera as if it’s a person, because you know, nothings more important than his fans. He dives right in with the comment, “Carol seems completely insane.” Granted Carol seemed strange, but perhaps that’s because there’s a ghost roaming the halls and her nerves are frazzled.
As the film goes on, David calls her a nutcase, a schizo, and a lunatic. He is the worst. He tells his fans, such as they are, he’s going to try to get into the grandmothers room again. Oh man, have some respect. He’s the worst paranormal investigator ever. Not only is he disrespectful, he deems the haunting a fake without ever investigating anything, and assumes Carol is behind any noises or items falling. Basically if it could be paranormal, David says crazy Carol set it up.
When her dog disappears, David goes out to look for it and finds it dead in the woods. Instead of telling her the bad news, he hides it under some leaves and lets her continue to worry about the fate of her pup. Can someone hit this guy in the head with a shovel or something?
Four weeks after he bales on the ghost hunt, he starts experiencing weird things as if he’s being haunted. A friend recommends an expert who can help him. But when they interact, David accuses him of being a fake and getting info on him from their mutual friend. Uh yes, because that’s the best way to deal with any problem. Just tell the expert they’re a phony.
David thinks everyone is either a fake or pulling a joke on him. Sigh. We should have buried him under leaves with the dog. Just when you think things can’t get worse, he decides there really is a haunting at Carols house. He says he must go back and help her, and it’s all his fault. Oh my god dude, you knew her two days. Get over yourself. He again proves to be a bad investigator because he’s tromping around in a very unstealthy manner while trying to get footage of a man that he thinks may have done something to Carol.
My biggest question is, was David written to be a jerk or was it how the actor chose to play it? Because I can’t believe David would have any fans or that anyone would be desperate enough to ask him to help them.
Cringeworthy dialogue:
You’re a very lonely woman and I didn’t come here to find love. I came her to find ghosts. So let’s behave like adults and focus on the task at hand, ok? - David, making himself even more unlikeable by being condescending
I knew there was something going on at that house - David four weeks after declaring that there was nothing going on at the house
