While seemingly billed as a found footage Halloween film, Project Eerie is more of a low budget sci-fi horror anthology.
We begin with a pair of teens who, bored on Halloween in 2020, jump the fence at the nearby asylum and steal a disc which is called…Project Eerie.
From here the pair witness a slew of found footage pieced together from 1994, 2004 and 2014, telling three very different tales.
Firstly, we have a husband and his daughter who go out to a camping resort for the weekend and after a strange encounter, things turn sinister fast. This segment carries a bit of atmosphere and peril given there is a child in active danger.
The next segment has a pair of friends looking for a man who is believed to have murdered his family in the nearby woods, only when they find him they get more than they bargained for. This part of Project Eerie really didn’t work for as it becomes a zero budget sci-fi short which came across more hokey than scary.
Finally, we round off with a creepy segment in Amish country which finally realises the found footage style and comes up with something quite creepy and unnerving.
Overall, Project Eerie is a mixed bag, which is probably missold as a Halloween found footage, but there is enough here to satisfy a mix of horror fans.
Project Eerie is available to stream now on digital platforms.
