Over the years, there have been a wide variety of haunted found footage films—haunted houses, asylums, hotels, and more. But what happens when you find a haunted sex tape? The film "Sex Tape", released in 2013 and directed by Bernard Rose, explores this concept with a unique twist. The story begins with Jill being interrogated by the police about her boyfriend Adam's disappearance, leading to the reveal of some disturbing events captured on tape.
Jill and Adam venture into an abandoned hospital under the pretense of promoting Jill's art show. What follows is a series of escalating encounters with spirits and eerie occurrences. The film's footage takes us through their reckless exploits and the unfolding horror within the hospital.
Despite its intriguing premise, the movie received mixed reviews, often seen as overly exploitative due to its thematic content. Jill’s performance, portrayed by Caitlyn Folly, stands out, even if the film itself takes a questionable narrative direction. The movie forces viewers to question the boundaries between horror film cliches and genuine suspense.
Director Bernard Rose, known for works like "Candyman", brings a unique style, but "Sex Tape" remains a controversial entry in his filmography. The film aims to comment on voyeurism and personal exploitation but struggles with execution and coherence, resulting in a polarizing viewing experience.
