I watched this movie not knowing what to expect; all I had heard about it was that it was horrifying. The movie is shot in documentary form but not until after watching it did I find out it was a mockumentary. It is about a couple who live together, and Katie, the girlfriend is being followed by a demon and they both experience tremendous supernatural activity. The way the movie was put together made it seem so real because in the beginning it did not show any production companies and at the end there was no credits. They only credited the families of the deceased (the couple in the movie). After watching this movie, I could not sleep for days because thinking about it gave me the chills and had me really scared. This relates to the key concept media construct reality because the creator of the movie did not advertise this movie much as they had wanted the viewers to believe it was a real documentary. They constructed this movie so well that their original anticipation of only having a few screenings of the movie for one week turned out to be many viewings for multiple weeks after the great reviews.
