Three young filmmakers go into the woods of western Maryland to shoot a documentary about a local legend. They never come out. The footage is found a year later. That is the entire film, and when it opened wide that July it terrified an audience that had — briefly, genuinely — no idea whether it was watching a horror film or a real object.</p>Tue, 17 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000
