What Happened to Dorothy Bell? (2024) Fantastic Fest

Ozzy Gray tries to find out what happened to his recently deceased grandmother and ends up having to deal with an evil force.

This is a mix of found footage and traditional narrative. It’s a film that feels like it’s documenting real life and if director Danny Villanueva Jr had wanted to push it he could have made a hell of a pseudo documentary.

WHAT HAPPENED TO DOROTHY GRAY is a wicked slow burn  horror film.  One of the few found footage film that isn’t full of filler, this is a film that sets things up and pulls us in. It takes it’s time but it moves along  at a steady pace that builds the sort of suspense that gets under your skin.  I found myself leaning into the events on screen.  I wanted to see what the hell was going on.

Make no mistake this is a chilling film that by the end will have you mumbling to no one in particular.
