Man Finds Tape (2 Stars)

This is the 14th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

Lucas Page is a man who's been making videos all his life. Some are for his personal records, but most of them are recordings of the church services held in a local church. One day he finds a collection of tapes that he hasn't watched for years. When he watches them he falls asleep. Sometimes he can watch for a few minutes, but then he falls asleep and misses what happens next. He shows videos to people who appeared in them, and they also fall asleep while watching. He asks his sister Lynn (not in any of the videos) for help. She remains awake, and she sees people falling asleep in the videos at the same moment that they fall asleep while watching.

I shan't attempt to explain the plot. I understood most, but not all of the film. It follows the pattern of found footage films, although it's unusual for a man to find his own tapes. The film is often blurred, because many images are from surveillance cameras that he's installed. It hurts my eyes.
