DUDE #1: Okay. That’s it. From now on, I’m videotaping everything that happens in my life.
DUDE #2: How come, dude?
DUDE #1: Dude, I don’t owe you an explanation. Just go along with it.
DUDE #2: Okay, Dude. But good luck keeping those camera batteries charged.
There is inevitably a bunch of awkward dialogue to justify the home movie/found footage gimmick. Once the teenage heroes get that out of the way, and you stop asking yourself why anyone would be running a camera at certain points in the story, the story ITSELF is actually pretty good, and boils down to this: what if Peter Parker was bitten by the radioactive spider and turned into a giant dick? After a while, the “found footage” part of this spreads out to police footage and news footage. Kind of a cheat, but it reminded me of Look, a clever security camera drama that came out a few years ago. This is not mandatory to see in theaters, but it’s worth checking out…
