In October of 1994 three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland, while shooting a documentary. A year later their footage was found.

Critics were largely positive about this found-footage horror. They appreciated that it never shows its antagonist, leaving viewers to fill the gaps with their own dread. The rough, homemade look was seen as adding to the effect. Audience scores are noticeably lower than critics'.
