Ok, I gave it 5 stars because I had to take in equation its microbudget, and considering what it managed to do with that, I think it is a fairly decent effort.
Spirits in the Dark is a good example of less is more, it has only 70 minutes, big fan of this idea, never overstretch it in order to appear more professional, if you need just 80 or 70 minutes to tell the story right, do so, don't bore me. It relied completely on first person perspective, and it was done so in good taste, overall it is a good production that couldn't do more. Of course, we have the eternal example of Blairwitch, where the tiniest of budgets managed to change find footage perspective, but lets be honest, no one is expecting that to repeat.
So all in all, I can't recommend this one, because it has little to offer, but for anyone interested in how to make a horror, how to lay down the grounds for one, how to take one simple idea, place it in the most of neutral surroundings, and have your movie without actors...well Spirits in the Dark is a prime example of just that. Hats off to those involved in the making of it and looking forward for more of your work in the future.
Cheers!
