What happens

Butterfly Kisses is a 2018 found footage horror film written and directed by Erik Kristopher Myers. The film follows filmmaker Gavin York (Seth Adam Kallick) who discovers a box of videotapes depicting a disturbing project by film students Sophia (Rachel Armiger) and Feldman (Reed DeLisle) about an urban legend known as Peeping Tom. As he sets out to prove the footage is real, he becomes obsessed, along with the film crew following him. The film is a deconstruction of the found footage genre, exploring what if films like The Blair Witch Project, The Last Exorcism, or Paranormal Activity were real. The director also considers it a mixture of academic criticism and the real world horror of how far an artist would be willing to go. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
