20/06/14 The Conspiracy (2012)

Canadian Aaron Paul tribute, Aaron Poole, (who was in the excellent spook flick The Last Will And Testament Of Rosalind Leigh) plays a curious documentary maker who is filming a profile of a local conspiracy theorist called Terrence.

Terrence goes missing in suspicious circumstances, so Aaron and his fellow camera nudger literally pick up the clues he left behind and unravel a large-scale conspiracy involving a powerful shadow group that hold occasional meetings out in the woods like a bull worshiping cross between The Bilderberg Group and the Bohemian Grove fuckwits.*

For a low budget effort, this is commendable on every level. The script, acting, camera work and pace are all excellent. Best of all, though, is the subtle immersion into paranoia and, eventually, panic. Yet another found footage style film, but it's an absolute cracker. Well worth buying.

Perkin.

*Look it up. A bunch of 50yr old, millionaire Republicans running around in the woods wearing nappies worshiping a giant stone owl? Fucking hell, what a bunch of soppy cunts.
