Two weeks out, I basically become this meme but with polls

What strikes me now is that this was an early reality TV project in the form of a found footage movie. I bet that's one reason why this was a sleepover rental classic. Sure it was scary, but mostly I think it was about everyone arguing over the characters letterboxd.com/nickfield90/...
