Film review: Milk & Serial

Silly Rabbit, Pranks are for Kids…who are nutjobs

Found footage and User-Generated Content (UGC) films can often find us all on shaky ground – and that’s not just the camera work. On the one hand, the format is liberating;  grab a camera, and shoot something. The punk DIY spirit can free the filmmaker to get something out of their mind and into the eyeballs of the audience – for their efforts you can get 'The Last Broadcast', 'The Blair Witch Project' or 'V/H/S'… However, this ‘have camera will film’ ethos also provides license to cut corners to throw together any old half-baked nonsense to quickly slap it onto a streaming service and to hell with craft (ahem, 'Slender')
