A film crew goes on an adventure to make a report on extreme tourism. There is a choice of visits to Chernobyl, abandoned hospitals, disused asylums… They chose the classic “haunted forest” which still works. Is it really haunted? Armed with their cameras and ready for the adventure, they are far from imagining what they will discover.
Night Shot, Hugo König’s first release, belongs to the second category. A film that was not perfect but the atmosphere, the masterful and always visible direction, coupled with a technical challenge (namely a single sequence shot), and a location more than exploited made it a film that is in the top of the found footage. With his second release, Hugo König remains in the genre, but does not repeat the formula of Night Shot. On the contrary, he tries with Gliitch a different approach to found footage and, although the first attempt did not turn into a masterpiece, the director succeeds once again in creating the surprise with what is apparently a more conventional found footage than Night Shot. Conventional in form, because in content, it is clear that Hugo König is once again at ease with the genre.
