Five years ago, James Parrish (Geoff Tate) slaughtered his wife and
sons, with no apparent motive, and not having shown any signs of mental
instability before. Then he disappeared, apparently from the face of the
earth. Now: Cole (Tony Guida) runs a home improvement company, and to go
with the times, he decides to promote what he's doing in the shape of a
reality TV show. For the first episode he has chosen a completely run-down
New England seaside building, and decided to refurbish it as a
bed-and-breakfast - but it's not as easy as it sounds, as his contractors
all fail to arrive on time, the guy (Jon Conver) hosting the show is a bit
of a narcissistic prick, and then there's a building inspector (Vincent
Palma) who would nothing rather than to shut them down. Oh, and then
members of the crew end up dead - as the place Cole has chosen for his
show is the very house Parrish has hidden in all these years, and he
apparently hasn't lost one bit of his bloodlust ... Sure, found
footage movies are a dime a dozen these days, but somehow, The
Burningmoore Deaths is one of the few films that get it right, using
the genre's characteristics and limitations to create suspense the
old-fashioned way via clever editing between the different cameras rather
than trying to replace anything resembling tension by shaky camerawork. On
top of that, the premise why everything's filmed (as this is supposed to
be a home improvement show) is much more believable than usual, and also
cause for some of the more amusing aspects of the movie. And the finale's
quite simply a real chiller!
