From a viewing point of view, "Death Video" is much more compact than "Blair the Witch". The story unfolds quickly, without cause and effect. A little explanation is based on the eyes and ears of the characters in the play, and the length of "Death Video" is short enough. The film has a strong sense of immersion, and the camera takes the audience to the horrified building, like a panic in it. Compared with previous horror films set with makeup and lighting, "Death Video" is very simple. As a form of horror entertainment, it is like an "exploration and discovery" TV show. Compared to revealing secrets and solving mysteries, movies always have to be played better, and it is not too surprising to get an open ending.
"Death Video" is one of the more popular pseudo-documentary style movies. The documentary shooting makes the horror atmosphere of the movie natural and extremely real. In "Death Video", the strong sense of presence brings the audience into the dead space full of Spanish zombies.
