"We spend so much time staring at our screens without asking what could be staring back," warns director Brian Babarik.

Mark Duplass previews, "A little over 10 years ago, Patrick Brice and I spent a week together in my cabin with a small digital camera. We emerged with a found footage horror film that was so wildly strange and uncomfortable we assumed no one would see it.
