The frightening variation on found footage is coming in December.
Magnet Releasing brings MAN FINDS TAPE to select theaters and digital platforms December 5.

Kelsey Pribilski, William Magnuson, John Gholson, Brian Villalobos and Nell Kessler star; the synopsis: “Lucas Page’s [Magnuson] viral YouTube channel ‘Man Finds Tape’ features a series of creepy home videos. When he reaches out to his sister, Lynn [Pribilski], with surveillance footage of a murder in their hometown, she reluctantly returns to help him investigate the homicide. In doing so, Lynn uncovers a disturbing secret tied to a decades-old supernatural phenomenon that casts doubt on whether anyone in town can be trusted. The arrival of a stranger [Villalobos] with destructive intentions forces Lynn to confront her family’s role in a terrifying legend tied to a deadly monster stalking Larkin, TX.”
