I was a bit sceptical at first realising it is literally filmed as a documentary, with the story mainly told by interviews with some footage inbetween, but it worked really well and i really enjoyed it! Great job!

pretty good!
Just skip the first 45 minutes.
The first 45 minutes of this film are pretty much a waste. All you need to know is Gary is a guy that likes to go on hikes and he disappears. You learn this in the first few minutes of the movie and then they spend 45 minutes on that.
At some point, they suddenly realize this guy has a blog and someone actually thinks to look at it. Things pick up a little, but not really enough to save the movie. They spend another 10-15 minutes just amazed that this guy has a blog and then finally get to his final day.
At the end there's a final sequence that starts out pretty tense...and then it just keeps going. Gary and the killer play cat and mouse around a tree for a long time until the killer finally gets him.
This is one of those movies where you know they had about 20-30 minutes of movie and then did everything they could to hit that feature length, including plugging a sequel. Just skip until they find the blog, that's about where the movie actually should have started.
A bit long at first, but with a shockingly suspenseful finale
If only there was more footage of Gary, rather than interview after interview whose mission is to delay the inevitable, this movie would be better. But is watchable enough and the final 20 minutes are actually creepy and made with plenty of suspenseful talent.
