Quite the head trip. To say much more would spoil the fun.

Early scenes prove an exception to most of this genre du jour's tired rules, which makes it especially disappointing when the third act does little more than reinforce them.

A nature-meets-nightmare tale that unfortunately gets lost in its own thicket of tricks.

It's creepy, it has great acting, a unique storyline, and it is the kind of film you can discuss with people long after it's over and still find new things to talk about.

Rated: 7.5/10

It all gets very artsy and weird in Act III (and I watched it twice) but hey, I'll take a bit of cerebral effort over just a bunch of door-slamming and bloodletting.

There's a shred of an interesting idea in Mr. Jones, but the film is far too unfocused, sloppy, and downright dull to leave any kind of impact.

Rated: 2/5

Mr Jones (2020) 12.2.21 5.3/0. Interesting. Some of the camera work was unusual too. Definitely made me think about how it could have been so. D.B.

Super annoying couple. It flipped from found footage to regular ole filming. Scott is an idiot. Story started out interesting, then Scott. Too much going on. Unfocused.

Mr. Jones is a Blair Witch like, very creepy, makes you think, found footage tale. It's also beautiful with the western scenery and does a great job mixing beauty with creepiness.

It would be ok if the guy hadnt of had camera on his friggin mug most of the time. Id rather see whats going on than seeing him make faces.

Feverish horror phantasmagoria is not much more than that; a comprehensible gets lost on the way.
