She exclaims “we have to show them everything” as she demands Pablo to keep the camera rolling. As the story unravels, her urgency to accurately document the traumatic events is admirable.
She’s instantly personable and cheery, particularly in the beginning when she’s joking with the firefighters and playing basketball at the station. She suits her role perfectly bringing a sense of realism to her character, infusing Angela with a charming personality. As the host of While You’re Asleep, the actress’s naturalistic performance transposes the movie into a television broadcast.

Originally beginning her career as a TV presenter for the Spanish show Cuatrosfera (2005), Manuela Velasco is perfectly cast as our lead protagonist Angela.

Audiences believed the film was real and its director, Ruggero Deodato, was duly arrested and charged with several counts of murder.įollowing the incredible success of The Blair Witch Project (1999), a plethora of imitators attempted the found-footage formula. Considered the grandfather of the found-footage genre, Cannibal Holocaust (1980) was mired by real-life controversy once released. Their conceit is that we’re watching something captured and experienced by real people that’s raw and unedited. There’s only a handful of movies that prompt visceral reactions the way pseudo-documentaries do.
