A group of shitty teenagers heads to Boston Mills where they harass locals and ask about the town history. The locals are happy to help with what believe is a school project, until the kids start passive aggressively asking about the history of witchcraft in town. Because if there's one things teens love it's cool pranks, and by cool I mean they suck.
As if you won't hate lead asshole Derek enough, he's always wearing a woolen hat at a jaunty angle. It's not clear why anyone would want to be friends with this guy since he's always trying to goad people into doing really stupid things.
You'd think one trip to Boston Mills would be enough, but it's as if the town is a nerd and these kids are bullies. They repeatedly go back there. They harass locals, make fun of people, ring doorbells, hurl insults, and vandalize stuff. When they are told to get off someones land, they pretend they are looking for a lost dog.
On a dare, two of the guys enter what appears to be an abandoned building, but once inside they find it's filled with stuff. It's obviously still an in active use. Do they leave? Nope, they continue to explore. They up the ante on later trips to town where they target one house and film people through the windows at night. On a later trip, they break into the same house with the intent on stealing something.
The teens appear to lack fully functioning brain stems since they don't understand why, after days of harassment, another car would be chasing them. The teens scream, "Why don't they just leave us alone?" and "what do they want?" They can't put together that if repeatedly harassing strangers, you may end up pissing off the wrong person.
By the end of the movie, you'll be hoping the town reigns blows down upon them, and since it's a found footage film, you know from the start that they aren't going to make it out alive. The one teen I feel sorry for is Berty, who seems more like a tagalong, and who I also kept mistaking for a middle aged soccer mom. Who's that lady? Oops, sorry Berty. It's not that he actually looks feminine. It's the haircut and glasses.
