On November 15, 1965: The Rolling Stones made their American television debut on NBC's musical variety show, Hullabaloo. The band performed "Get Off My Cloud," a single they had just released two months prior in the US and one month prior in the UK.

I’ll leave the details there, but I’ll sum up by saying that I enjoyed it. Despite having only been made a couple of years ago, it was a nice throwback to some of the older found footage films while ushering in its own hybrid blend of psychological, cult and creature feature fun.

He heads to the residence of George Hale, the man who took the original photograph of Frogman that made waves back in 1975 and put the urban legend on the map in Loveland. Hale gives Dallas a map that he claims will lead them directly to Frogman.

They finally set out into the woods around the halfway point of the film, but that doesn’t go well. After an unfortunate run-in with the locals, the town sheriff makes it perfectly clear that the trio need to hike on home, and quick. But yeah, Dallas is a man on a mission so...

The interview segments in town (not to mention that freaking map) were very much reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project, which was not surprising in the least as it was obviously a huge influence on this film being made in the first place.

The three main characters had enough personality and history between them to hold my interest and to not have me constantly wondering if something dramatic or horrific was about to happen to them. I wasn’t even thinking about that as I watched, which was a good thing.

And so Dallas (played by Nathan Tymoshuk) hits the road with his cameraman Scotty (played by Benny Barrett) and his friend Amy (played by Chelsey Grant) in search of irrefutable evidence that Frogman exists.

We see the footage that 10-year-old Dallas Kyle shot while on family vacation of what is believed to be the Frogman of local legend. The action then fast forwards to 2023, when a 32-year-old Dallas Kyle intends to prove that what he’s become infamous for was not bullshit.

One thing that this film did right straight out of the gate was get the look of VHS footage down pat such that we might actually accept that the footage we’re seeing in the beginning did indeed come from a camcorder that shot it in August of 1999.

And just as that film had its own intrigue surrounding the urban legend of the Blair Witch of Burkittsville, Maryland, so does this film have its own 1975 urban legend of Frogman, believed by some to be an alien or river monster who conducts rituals in the woods of Loveland, Ohio.

Despite actually being shot in 2023, this found footage film begins in 1999, the same year that The Blair Witch Project (1999) was released and supposedly took place.

This film had some glaring weaknesses, no doubt. But, while less overt, its strengths were still very much present. Those who have trouble seeing past low budgets or amateur acting often end up missing out on some very special moments of artistry. This film had several. I dug it.

Credit given to Raquel Gomez and Cienna Valles for effectively playing the roles of the daughters, Cassie and Denise, respectively. I’m notoriously pretty tough on younger actors, but I think they remained dedicated and stayed in character well.

She’s also very much consumed by the fact that Ray’s murderer is still out there somewhere, fully aware of where they live, and not yet located nor apprehended by authorities. How the production has Teri confront her grief onscreen is one of the things it does best.

Following the incident, Teri isn't adjusting particularly well to life in the aftermath of it. She’s doped up on pain pills, her sleep patterns have gone to shit, and she’s consumed not only by what happened but also with planning a memorial and raising her children alone.

Sadly, their interactions were short-lived, setting up a premise for the rest of the film.

Despite the questionable acting chops, I still very much enjoyed the banter and interactions between the MILFtastic Teri (Elizabeth Elise Gonzalez) and Ray (Jose Angel Herrera). Ray tells Teri he just needs to get one last case out of the way, but she and their two daughters miss his company.

The earliest telltale signs of it being a low-budget production were the acting and the sound quality, as if a single overhead room mic was the only thing picking up our happy couple following their night out on the town for early 20th anniversary festivities.

Loved the strong-ass ‘80s vibes right out of the gate with the synthesizer-driven new wave music blaring as the aerial camera panned in on early evening in El Paso.

The strongest thing about this film was the initial concept. It was sort of like a modern spin on They Live (1988), and the notion of not seeing reality when we blink is something I’ve thought about for decades now. The execution was okay, but it simply ran way too long for me.
