rare film still from 1992 VHS home video, this clip from the found footage in the backwoods of appalachian west virginia mountains features the strikingly attractive 23 year old guide looking at the camera with a look of calm disappointed disbelief, she stands in front of an unsettling abandoned coal mine entrance just past dusk at 8pm at night on an August summer day. the scene is lit with the last bit of sunlight peeking through the trees while casting unreliable shadows that blow out the camcorder sensors that is shooting the scene, giving the entire composition a raw unfiltered feeling like it was never meant to be seen. in the shot we cannot see inside the entrance to the abandoned old coal mine and the entire atmosphere has underlying feelings of suspense, psychological tension, and slight confusion. importantly the singular female character holds a tattered architectural blueprint revealing the architecture of spiderwebs, with clear spiderweb blueprints planned and outlined on the traditional architectural blueprint paper. over her shoulder in the distance we see a giant spider coming over the hill adding extreme ominous vibes to the scene. gritty realism, mumblecore.
