I just saw this movie for the first time. For those who have seen the movie, and based on the hypothetical if it's real, that is if actual footage like this was actually found, would this constitute real and hard evidence of the paranormal? Or would this all be chalked up to camera glitches because it looks fake?
It's like you're asking, "If you saw a ghost, would you believe in ghosts?"
You're inadvertently pigeonholing people in to a specific conclusion by not offering much of an alternative.
You see, while I am not a believer in the existence of the paranormal, I do believe that "whatever remains after sifting through all the evidence, however improbable, must be the truth".
While it certainly can be, I don't think that necessarily is a truism. People still often believe things they want to believe and protect their worldview, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
As far as the movie though, I still haven't seen it but I've heard really good reviews. I heard it was created on like a $4,000 budget, which is incredible, and that the entire movie was filmed in the director's home to cut down on cost.
