Abhorrent

A group of amateur filmmakers gets more than they bargained for when they venture into the dense woods of West Virginia to shoot a documentary about a local legend. What begins as a fictional exploration of the Mothman quickly turns into a terrifying fight for survival as they realize the creature might be very real and hunting them.

Abhorrent garnered mixed to negative reviews from critics, with many pointing to its derivative plot and underdeveloped characters. While some appreciated the attempts at creating a suspenseful atmosphere and the creature design, the overall consensus was that the film failed to deliver a fresh or compelling horror experience.

• Fails to bring anything new to the found-footage horror subgenre.

• While the creature design is somewhat effective, the plot relies too heavily on familiar tropes.

• The film struggles with pacing and character development, leaving viewers largely uninvested.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate disappointment with the predictable storyline and a lack of genuine scares. Many viewers found the film to be a tedious watch, criticizing its reliance on jump scares and a weak narrative.

The film utilizes a found-footage style, with much of the narrative presented as recovered video evidence from the doomed filmmaking crew.
