Review: Mr. Jones (2013)


Review: Mr. Jones (2013)

Scott and Penny move to the woods to do a nature documentary. They discover that the guy who lives in the next cabin is the infamous artist known only as Mr. Jones, who is known for sending out scarecrow-like figures to select people with traumatic results. They to change their plans and do their documentary on Mr. Jones instead. But they find that they’ve gotten into something they should have left alone and soon they find their nightmares and reality begin to collide when they enter the world of Mr. Jones.

This film is a freaky, disturbing, mind fuck. It is amazing what these filmmakers achieve with sticks, animal bones, and candles. The atmosphere of this film is unique. It is definitely in the mockumentary subgenre but it also expands well into psychology horror as well. It overwhelms the viewer with the otherness like Lovecraft, but in its own unique way. Don’t  expect jump scares with this film. This film, when it gets started, makes you feel continuously off kilter. It literally gave me the chills, and with my experience in horror it don’t get that.

Honestly, I have to say this is the best film of its kind that I’ve seen. It you want to feel some real creeps this is the film for you. For me, and I’m  not a huge fan of found footage/ mockumentary films, I say this film is AWESOMETACULAR!!!
