Hunting Matthew Nichols is a terrifying love letter to the early-oughts found-footage horror craze. It’s seriously scary.

Basically follows the template of The Blair Witch Project, but director Markian Tarasiuk has a few tricks up his sleeve to make it effective.

HUNTING MATTHEW NICHOLS is a horror mockumentary that works extremely well. To me, this just may be the best in this subgenre since The Blair Witch Project (1999). It stays true to its dogma while delivering a solid plot and efficient entertainment.

Hunting Matthew Nichols blends scenes of found and archival footage with true-crime-style interviews, but despite artful attention to craft, everything here feels somewhat trite.

It’s competent and well-made, which is a lot more than can be said about a lot of modern horror pictures.

It's sometimes difficult to believe the conventions of this sort of movie, but the filmmakers here have, in a very clever way, worked their way around a lot of those doubts.

Terrible movie. I would not recommend this to anyone. First hour and 25 min was incredibly boring, last 5 min had couple jump scares…. Can’t believe this made it into theaters.

Decent Blair Witch homage, it takes a while to get to the scary stuff, and then it goes bats**t crazy. Well acted and directed, but the ending feels a bit forced.

Pretty meh. Not very original…The Office meets Blair Witch. Acting felt really rough in parts…it might have just been cruddy dialogue.

Hard to follow, confusing since documentary style but not based on true story. Acting could’ve been better
