Unique horror movie that will keep your heart-pounding

I am really a scaredy-cat and rarely watch horror movies (specially alone) but I was able to watch this one. Not too many jumpscares and the plot is pretty cliché where someone tried to capture paranormal activities then it started going downhill from there. However, what's refreshing about it is the type of the way it was filmed.

In a way the movie makes you feel like you're with the characters exploring the building and all so you see their reactions as if you're with them. That really builds up the tension and my heart was racing the whole time not knowing what will suddenly turn up to scare me. It feels like those Youtube videos where they explore haunted and abandoned buildings but this time with really creepy twists.

The sounds were mostly natural like the footsteps, the breath, the sound of things being stepped on and minor common horror background music. Everything mixes up to make the ambience creepier and they achieved it.

As a person who gets scared easily, I might not rewatch this again but if I am a horror enthusiast, I'd probably see this again. Give it a try and challenge yourself to watch this alone without giving yourself nightmares.
