Mind, Body, Spirit – Review | Yoga found footage horror film

Do you want to become a yoga influencer?

If you ever wanted to be a yoga influencer, then Mind, body, spirit will cure you of it. Just kidding, because it's not the practice of yoga that makes this a horror film, but rather an ancient book full of ancient rituals. I always think, “Wasn’t anyone watching?” evil Dead?” whenever they start reading out loud from strange books.

However, for this particular horror story, the book was left behind by the main character's grandmother. Anya has just inherited her grandmother's old house and before she finds the book, she also discovers a large part of the house. Including a strange room and a huge attic.

Both would have resulted in me leaving the house immediately. And if not, then these would certainly be the things that would happen next. You know, I've actually seen a lot of horror movies, so I already know that this can't end well for Anya.

From self-help to despair

Anya never met her grandmother, but the book (along with the house) was left to her. While Anya's mother asks her to leave the house, realizing that her grandmother was not a good person, Anya sees the whole thing as a kind of fate.

What begins as a spiritual self-help guide that Anya follows to launch her budding career as a yoga influencer turns into something very sinister. The only other person in Anya's house is an already established lifestyle influencer who tries to help Anya get started – because Anya's mother asks her to.

While Anya is wonderfully (and sometimes creepily) portrayed by Sarah J. Bartholomew, the influencer Kenzi is portrayed by Madi Bready. I loved as we could also see commercials for various products that these influencers sponsor.

Last but not least, seeing Kenzi from KenziFit in her element. A great detail that brought everything to life and made it seem very real.
