Dagr is a 2024 British found footage horror film directed and co-written by Matthew Butler-Hart.[1][2]
Plot
[edit]Listed by Empire Magazine as one of their 'Best Films to watch in 2024', Dagr is a British found footage folk horror set in Wales gently inspired by the likes of The Blair Witch Project and Ghostwatch, but blending different timelines so that it becomes a 'found footage within a found footage within a found footage' film. Two 'Robin-Hood' YouTubers, Thea and Louise, decide to pose as caterers on a 'arty' commercial so that they can steal equipment and give it to the needy, all whilst filming themselves doing it of course. When they arrive at the Welsh mansion, however, they find the place deserted and only from the behind the scenes footage shot by the film crew as proof they were there - but is the horrific footage they find real or fake? Have they stepped into a prank, or the worst day of their life!
