Milk & Serial is a 2024 found-footage film from Curry Barker. Sitting at a 62-minute runtime and made for only $800, Milk & Serial shows exactly what a talented team can accomplish, and it is nothing short of phenomenal.

Barker stars as Milk, whose friends are throwing him a birthday party. Pranks are common among this group, so no one is surprised when they happen during the party. When something goes wrong, the body count starts rising, and fast.

This film demonstrates what is so amazing about the found-footage genre and is one of the reasons I am such a fan. Gems like this one pop up every so often, and they make the world of horror a much better place for it.

Big things are to come for Barker, with Focus Features having picked up his latest film, Obsession, for $15 million. Even if found footage is not your thing, you don’t have anything to lose checking out this amazing movie. Milk & Serial proves once again that the subgenre is there for good reason, and it is sure to inspire many more found-footage films to come.
