2 wannabe filmmakers (Adam Hartley, Matt Stuertz) who run a ghost
documentary series on the web where they try to prank the ghosts (though
probably make up most of it) take a trip to the woods to a house that's
supposedly haunted to interview its (alive) inhabitants ... but they find
the place unexpectedly empty, to then catch someone just in the corner of
their eyes, and being phoned ... by themselves. They later find a spooky
abandoned building, where they are again freaked out by someone or
something. The next day something inexplicable happens: When they
approach the hauned house again, they discover themselves, doing exactly
what they did the day before - and they decide to prank their selves from
yesterday (after all, they came to prank), only eventually realising they
play exactly the pranks they happened to be on the other side of. Weird
enough, but weirder yet when some of the pranks they play they come to not
remember from the other day, nor have they caught them on camera ... and
thus these must be their future selves. So apparently, several of their
selves all relive the same day over and over simultaneously - but thing
is, not all their selves take their (own) pranks lightly, and eventually
they all are at war with one another, a war that they most certainly
cannot win ... Ok, so from a logical point of view, the plot of
RWD doesn't make perfect sense - but this is definitely a film one
has to take with a grain of salt - after all, this is a movie about two
pranksters, and even if the genres are said to create opposite feelings,
horror and comedy are actually closely related - as evidenced in this
film, actually, that also makes perfect use of the found footage approach,
using it to keep the wildly confusing plot coherent and even giving the
protagonists something to cling on to. Plus, the locations are properly
moody to give the film its perfect backdrop. Good fun, actually.
