AREA 51 Movie

Area 51:
It is a story. Of course, like “Paranormal Activity,” most of “Area 51” looks like DIY and found-footage material, although the film so quickly fails the Why Would They Film That test that it’s best to just consider it a cinematographic choice instead of trying to figure out and who’s holding the camera and why. To that end, the shaky-cam, found-footage thing likely wasn’t as played out when Peli started filming “Area 51” in 2009,

and the aesthetic here isn’t quite as annoying as it sometimes can be in “Paranormal Activity” wannabes. You won’t need Dramamine.

Three dude-bros go to a party and one dude-bro goes missing. He pops up, horror movie-style, in front of the car of his leaving buddies, not quite looking the same.
