American Descent (2015)
In 2014, Sergeant First Class Stephen Harris edited and uploaded this film. It was his message to the world. A group of teenagers are sent an unlabeled DVD from a U.S. Army base in Afghanistan containing a video of a strange woman tied to a tree. It ends with a clue. The teens follow the clue to another and yet another, until what started out as a game becomes a terrifying chase into the psychopathic mind of Harris. At the end of the line, the teens' world comes full circle as they discover they weren't just playing a game, they were pawns in a revenge plot only a master of war could devise.

Redundant and unnecessary.
How sad is this?
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I am not going to review this garbage extensively. Just do yourself a favour, and don't bother. That will be 80 minutes of your life you do not waste. As an actual review is required to be 10 lines minimum apparently, I need to write a little more. Pretty much all of the movie is filmed in hand-held cam mode. The acting is OK from maybe 2 of the cast, and incredibly wooden from the rest. The story is ludicrous. Some kids get sent some footage of a crime, ponder whether or not it is real, and investigate. The realism detector did not budge at all. I like the clichéd suspension of disbelief, but this was just absurd, and unenjoyable. And the payoff to the whole story...predictably weak. Seriously. Don't bother.
