==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: TV-MA (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===

A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not very much was drawn directly from Lovecraft's work. The science-fiction plot about a time/space portal that allows the main characters to meet ominous versions of themselves lurking in the shadows while filming a ghost hunt might still provide a fun variation on the basic plot of the Call of Cthulhu RPG scenario "[[The Haunting (AKA The Haunted House)(scenario)|The Haunting]]".

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of
how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

===Reviews===

Review Links:
* Review at ([https://miskatonicuniversityblog.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/indie-horror-rwd/ The Miskatonic Valedictorian]) - "While it may not be for everyone, if you like to have fun with your horror, you’re definitely going to enjoy RWD."
* Monica Edwards at ([https://epsilonlaylay.wordpress.com/2016/12/24/rwd-movie-review/ Epsilon Lay]) - "I had intended to watch a really bad found footage movie to review and it turned out to be not all that bad. It’s confusing and a lot of it makes no sense and even despite that it’s some how creepy. No idea why."
* Stephanie Malone at ([http://morbidlybeautiful.com/reel-review-rwd/ Morbidly Beautiful]) - "What starts out as a straightforward ghost story becomes a mind-bending and unique horror film.... It did remind me of a couple of other independent horror films which employ a similar storytelling technique. But it's executed well here and will feel refreshingly original for most viewers."
* Ben Robins at ([https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2016/10/movie-review-rwd-2016/ Flickering Myth]) - "Sadly though, RWD feels like a major step back for this less-is-more approach, failing to ever really go anywhere with its admittedly intriguing central twist.... On the whole ''RWD'' is just a pretty pointless waste of 80 minutes of your time. You might jump at the occasional sound effect and it certainly earns an extra point or so for a genuinely decent plot turn, but otherwise it’s the perfect embodiment of everything wrong with found-footage horror...."
* Allan Walton at ([http://www.ravenousmonster.com/movies-tv/rwd-movie-review/ Ravenous Monster]) - " It’s a lot closer to fair than middlin’, and that’s quite an accomplishment given the tired format and uneven script...."
* Sue Webb at ([http://theslaughteredbird.com/review-rwd/ The Slaughtered Bird]) - "Hugely original, the concept of this movie is its strength, and any frustrations are overwritten by how genuinely enjoyable it is...."

==Synopsis (SPOILERS)==

{{spoiler|Two young film-makers trying to film a haunted house for their web series, ''Ghost Goofs'', quickly find their original plans derailed with the eyewitnesses they have traveled to meet are not home, and the film-makers are soon distracted by strange phone calls and text messages, strange voices audible over their sound equipment, weird sounds in the woods, and the ruins of a strange silo or tower standing in an empty field, containing mysterious electronic equipment. After a series of increasingly bizarre experiences, the film's anti-heroes soon realize that the equipment in the silo has opened up a time-loop, and the strange experiences are actually caused by their doppelgangers from alternate time-lines, and the boys decide to play dangerous and sadistic pranks on their confused duplicates. Things spiral out of control as pranks turn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game of revenge when their duplicates realize what is happening....}}

* scenario: "[[The Haunting (AKA The Haunted House)(scenario)|The Haunting]]" (can be looted for plot hooks, etc., before stumbling on the main plot)

===Keeper Notes===

* The first part of the movie is essentially the set-up for a modern take on "[[The Haunting (AKA The Haunted House)(scenario)|The Haunting]]", but the original soon derails as the investigators - film-makers trying to interview witnesses for an amateur ghost-hunting web series - soon find themselves mixed up in something far stranger than a haunted house, when their interviewees are not at home, and the investigators are instead distracted by an otherwise unrelated plot involving a bizarre phenomenon relating to a laboratory in a ruined silo in an empty field, ground zero to a series of strange experiences involving mysterious text and voicemail messages, eerie voices on their audio equipment, and evidence of the investigators' sinister doppelgangers lurking in the distance....
