Two young women seeking internet stardom pose as catering staff on a fashion commercial in Wales. Unbeknownst to the ad team their plan is to film themselves stealing all the expensive merchandise and post it on their YouTube channel. However when they arrive at the location there's no-one there. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to set up hidden cameras and get started on the theft, they discover an iPad which holds footage of the commercial shot so far. But what starts out as a glossy black and white homage to Jean-Luc Goddard, soon turns into a Craven-esque paranormal nightmare.

Phil Hoad Guardian As it constantly recedes backwards... the narrative structure runs counterproductive to the leaning-forwards into the unknown on which horror so often feeds. Rated: 2/5 Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee Dagr puts the modern, technological age against ancient occult terrors in this found footage, folk horror mash-up. Rated: 7/10 Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Christina Brennan Vague Visages Dagr isn't a bad found footage movie, and it has its moments of fun, yet Butler-Hart's film doesn't sustain the promise of its opening scenes. Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers Blair Witch meets AbFab as found footage collides with fashion darlings giving overpriced clothes the Jean-Luc Goddard treatment. Moritz and Duckles are terrific as a pair of supremely confident, if breathtakingly naive, ethical YouTubers. Rated: 4/5 Feb 10, 2024 Full Review Jack Bottomley Starburst Dagr is a tense, slow-burning, slice of British folk horror. Rated: 4/5 Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jack S Muddled and amateurishly made, Dagr is another in an unfortunately long and undistinguished line of found-footage misfires. The two leads are likable enough at first—even considering their criminal proclivities. But this film never manages to generate the least amount of real fear or suspense, and seems interminable at only 77 mins. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Jev M You will immediately root for the 2 main characters to get offed in the most gruesome way imaginable. Not because of their stupid TikTokker shenanigans. Not because they steal stuff and try to get away with it. No. You will root for them to die because they are 2 of the absolute worst actresses I've ever seen in my entire life. Annoying? Understatement. Flat? Understatement. Unable to deliver basic lines in a manner that would constitute normal human interaction? Understatement. There are better actors in Ozempic commercials. I immediately wanted to never see or hear them again. What about the plot? Well the plot is two different conflated projects combined into one plot. Our power went out about 15 mins from the credits and I imagine it was actually the doing of Jesus Christ himself saving me from spending another mind numbing quarter of an hour wanting lay my head on the freeway in hopes someone would drive by squashing it like a melon. My girlfriend and I agreed to not finish it once the power ultimately came back on. 0/10 - It's trash. Never cast these 2 main actresses in a movie again, you couldn't pay me to watch a movie with either of them in it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Sarfaraz A The British horror film was co-written and directed by Matthew Butler-Hart. Tori Butler-Hart, the director's wife and co-writer, also appears in the film in the lead role. The film is a found-footage set within found-footage. A couple of young female vloggers with a big following, known for stealing and donating to the poor, pose as imposters for a commercial crew at a remote mansion in order to steal costly items. While there, they are unable to locate the crew, with the exception of an iPad containing footages of the crew's mysterious deaths and an ominous voice. The film's more than 30 minutes are filled with chuckles and girly chatter. It is only in the last 20 or so minutes that the movie begins to slide into its genre. It is fine, but do not expect too much from it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Audience Member Watched this with semi excitement as a Welsh person seeing as it's "set" in Wales. Utter disappointment at awful acting, awful characters and generally, an awful film. Might have been more interesting as a short but not clever enough. Us Welsh are used to disappointment though. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Not worth watching. Actors were fine but no story at all. One of the worst movies I've ever watched. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Audience Member The film excels in its intricate character development, captivating the audience with their personal stories. This emphasis on character depth marks a refreshing change from the typical style of low-budget found footage movies, which tend to neglect the development of complex characters. There are numerous nuanced details that might go unnoticed initially, making a second viewing beneficial. The movie will undoubtedly resonate with its intended audience, though it might not fulfill the expectations of those in search of high gore levels. It’s evident that the filmmakers tackled this project with a lighthearted approach, demonstrating a profound appreciation for the horror genre. Throughout the film, there are smart, subtle nods to iconic horror movies and stories, including more overt allusions to films like "Blair Witch," all presented with a whimsical, self-aware flair. This playful tone significantly enhanced my viewing experience. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
