Story: Site 13 starts when Dr Nathan Marsh (Faudree) puts together a team including Kelly (Ray) and Nicki (McFarlane).

Verdict on Site 13
Site 13 is a sci-fi horror movie using the idea of found footage being watched by one of the people on the tapes. It follows the experiment that goes wrong but not all the questions were answered. This ends up seeing the characters put through a hellish nightmare to uncover the truth.
Site 13 is a great spin on the found footage movie. By having one of the survivors watch the footage back as they learn the truth adds plenty of fear to the story. We know something terrible has happened and each tape reveals something more terrifying. While a lot of the found footage is what you would imagine, it does feel refreshing to see a twist on viewing it. When it comes to modern-day horrors, things start strange and become nightmarish. This only helps make things even more enjoyable along the way.
Final Thoughts – Site 13 is a nightmarish twist on the found footage movie.
