I can never have enough good found footage. Here is footage that I have already found and loved: The MacPherson Tape The Blair Witch Project Paranormal Activity REC Cloverfield Lake Mungo The Last Exorcism Grave Encounters Apollo 18 V/H/S Chronicle End of Watch Grave Encounters 2 V/H/S/2 Afflicted The Den I know some of these aren't horror, and Lake Mungo isn't actually found footage so much as a mockumentary, but this is the result of me trawling down Wikipedia's list and picking out what I've seen and enjoyed. What additional footage do I need to seek out and hopefully find?

Columbine-inspired movies never quit sit right with me, for the same reason The Sacrament falls flat: It wants to capitalize on this significant event everyone remembers but it misses anything that makes it actually interesting and just goes for the shock value and what the media reported like ten minutes after it happened. Like, I feel like I could rattle off the basic plot breakdown of Zero Day without even watching it, that's how rote it is. I mean, I'm gonna watch it, I'm just saying. Seconding Emergo though.

I can definitely tell you not to watch Unidentified, Banshee Chapter, the Conspiracy, Lunopolis , 100 Years of Evil, How to Become A Serial Killer, Mind of a Madman (or something) and Alien Abduction all on Netflix.

I think it's that most of the time it sticks to the "video games and bullying and social pariahs" angle and not only is it played out but it's not how things actually went. It's like The Sacrament utterly missing what makes Jonestown interesting.

His performance is quite good, but I really don't see it as the main point of awesomeness. I think the shooting style, the music, the gut-wrenching gore effects, and the ballsy nastiness of the whole thing contribute more to its success.

What's neat about his performance is he's also sort of co-cinematographer. He's moving the camera a lot of the time. The first person thing in that movie got to the heart of the few things that work for me about found footage (the immediacy) while skipping all the crap I hate (the endless contrivances, the poo poo-ugly aesthetic, the uniform structure)

It's definitely a bit slicker, but in a way that makes sense and compliments the movie. Moving things from New York to LA was a great touch, I thought. It's sleazy in a different way.

Like, I feel like I could rattle off the basic plot breakdown of Zero Day without even watching it, that's how rote it is. I mean, I'm gonna watch it, I'm just saying. See, this is interesting, partially because I wrote a post on a Columbine inspired film recently and kind of appreciated it just for its lack of subtlety because it didn't just give us some context-less Elephant scenario and it wasn't some sugar-coated, made for tv melodrama. I also think that, in light of E Cullen's in-depth book on Columbine, the stereotypes that were created by the media were wrong (the killer's weren't loners or picked on, for example) and I think a better, more challenging film could be made following Cullen's narrative. The media reaction to instantly label something traumatic like a school shooting as being commited by 'outsiders' - whether that's Seung-Hui Cho, Adam Lanza, Elliot Rodger etc, tends to underplay just how much alienation actually exists in that environment (and they certainly won't do any investigation into it) as well as allows a convenient way to frame the killings as an isolated almost fate-like occurrence (just "something that happens") again, without investigating the bigger issues and how they all intersect. So not just looking at mental health rates in that community, but also trying to see the bigger issues; how that community has typically dealt with ideas of masculinity or isolation for example. The problem is that this is just not the way the news media rolls, it can't get too deep because it doesn't have the resources or time to spend in these communities getting to understand how they operate (that's the job of the writers I guess) but it would be pretty great to see a film that actually did justice to Columbine. Hopefully we will someday. harpomarxist fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Aug 15, 2014 |

Kvlt! posted:Anymore reccomendations for horror movies with romance as a major part of the plot? I'm thinking along the lines of Let Me In People have already stated every vampire movie ever, but my favorite for the romance specifically is Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). I really like Annie Lennox's song for the film, so you might too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhG8zC4npsE I personally have been developing a romance-horror story about a slasher-like villain, told entirely through song, but I haven't shared it here yet because... well I'm just not ready yet.

Redneck Zombies is a) one of the best, if not the best shot-on-video horror movies ever made, b) one of the best zombie movies ever made. I'll fight anyone via Thunderdome if they feel otherwise.

I'll be a dissenter on the Maniac remake. I didn't hate it, but I found the constant first-person POV tedious at a certain point I felt it took away from the characterization and Elijah Wood's performance since you couldn't see him most of the time. This might also just be a personal thing, but I don't really find much interest in (literally) looking through the eyes of the killer. I was the type of kid who hated being the seeker when playing hide-and-seek. I might take to a movie that did first-person from the perspective of the victim, I think.

On the one hand Zero Day is probably the movie that's best captured the events leading up to Columbine and the mindset behind it (not perfectly, mind you, there's still some stuff about feeling like an outsider and a victim getting retribution) but on the other hand it's also way too on the nose and has a scene where the killer literally yell that people are idiots for blaming it on video games and blaming the parents and so on and so forth. I guess my final verdict is "Eh" edit My biggest complaint is that the in-school footage isn't jerky and lovely looking enough. BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Aug 15, 2014 |

Most people wouldn't consider Europa Report to be horror, but it scared the poo poo out of me way more than any other found footage movie I've seen recently. Some people think the climax was kind of a let down and I can understand that, but everything leading up to it was so tension filled I didn't really notice or care.
