SHE WALKS THE WOODS (2019) - This was a fairly routine found footage movie that really amped up the tension in the last 15 minutes.  After a quick intro of some guys running through the woods, screaming, chased by an unknown predator, followed by a disclaimer that "16,000 people have gone missing in America's National Parks," the story gets underway.
Three young men are shooting an "ultimate survival" video on some property belonging to this girl Hope's family - so of course she goes along.  They spend a LOT of time just talking, shooting footage for their channel, and finally in he last 15 minutes they run afoul of some bizarre female humanoid who makes short work of them all. I will say, the makeup job of the monster is the best thing about the whole film, and the payoff makes the long wait for any action worthwhile.  If you like found footage films, you might enjoy this.
