What’s up with the Canadians and these found-footage, unseen-villain flicks? Similar to but measurably better than the recent ATM, this is a home-invasion thriller shot mostly from the POV of a stalker’s surveillance cameras planted in the home and car of a hotshot Toronto ad man (Nick Stahl) who is slowly becoming unhinged in the wake of his wife’s mysterious disappearance. Other stuff happens to direct police suspicion toward him. Someone’s killed his cat, he claims, placed its head in his freezer and then replaced the animal with a look-alike. Stuff like that. Interesting use of sound and music.
