Two friends decide to go to an abandoned factory to make an urban exploration video and publish it on YouTube; as they advance and spend more time there, they do not realize that the atmosphere of the place will take them to their extremes.

The scouts
The YouTube-streamer-in-haunted-factory premise is a tired skeleton that's been picked clean, and this film knows it—which is almost interesting, except it doesn't do anything subversive enough with that knowingness to justify the familiarity.
A competent descent into psychological horror that understands the grammar of dread and spatial unease, though it lacks the formal precision or tonal invention that would elevate it beyond capable genre exercise.
The sound design—the way ambient factory noise gradually bleeds into something uncanny without a score—is the hinge that makes the familiar setup feel genuinely disorienting, and that singular choice carries the whole 18 minutes.
