![]() ![]() I have to point out the obvious lack of respect for women in Black Wake as well. The rest are inexplicably shot from various angles, from a 3rd person point of view, or are just extremely hard to believe - like the crystal clear video footage (with sound!) from a security camera in a parking lot. Some of them look like legit found footage segments. These are supposedly videos the researchers have discovered during their investigation of the parasitic invasion. In between the looong stretches of Gouvea’s stare-at-the-camera-and-talk scenes, there are “videos” shown. Turns out, Black Wake is also a found footage film.
