What Happened to Dorothy Bell?

About This Movie

What Happened to Dorothy Bell? is a curious blend of found footage and traditional horror that keeps you guessing. Ozzie Gray's investigation feels deeply personal, almost diary-like, as she unravels the dark threads of her childhood memories tied to her grandmother. The pacing has this slow burn that builds tension effectively, allowing the eerie atmosphere to settle in. Practical effects add a raw authenticity that’s pretty refreshing in today's CGI-heavy landscape. The performances, particularly Ozzie’s, are raw and emotional, carrying the weight of grief and fear. It's distinct for how it intertwines familial trauma with supernatural elements, leaving you questioning what's real and what’s a figment of a troubled mind. Definitely an interesting exploration of horror through a personal lens.
