Good ideas, but movie fails

I like mocumentary style more than founded footage, but movie absolutely fails in realization. I would like to have movie with similar plot and style, but this was cheap with terrible CGI and actors. A lot of clichés and mistakes. Some footage from 70s doesn't looks like footage from 70s because it is shot in FullHD, 16:9 with just computer effect. Even VHS films was more believable.

It have some interesting ideas, but didn't use them too much (security system automatically skips camera after few seconds, first kinetic people in lab was just a hoax), movie keeps staying in stereotypical loud music scares and clichés (dogs are barking, because something evil is happening). I would prefer it in style of real documentaries - not too many quick cuts and no jumpscares. I would prefer more practical effects or at least good CGI effect. Death of main test subject looks like something you could make in After Effect in few minutes. It was almost laughable.

I liked movie "The Box" by this director, it is a much better movie.
