weekly font posted:So, this will probably required a wall of black text, but I'm interested in found footage movies that DON'T end with either A) everyone dead or B) a spooky face leaping at the camera. I have seen Lake Mungo and As Above So Below. I don't know if more exist. Snow on Tha Bluff.

Sounds riveting  It's okay, every found footage movie has the mundane lead in stuff before it all goes totally off the rails.

I watched As Above So Below back to back with Final Prayer (which is also called the Borderlands, I think) and I thought the latter was a better film all around. I enjoyed AASB in parts, but the entire package felt very overproduced. I did appreciate that it was basically "Lara Croft's Scary Adventure" but it was just, too flashy? I guess? CG effects seemed really obvious and took me out of it at almost every point. The ending being relatively happy was an unexpected but welcome change though. Main character was baller AF and I'm glad she made it out ok.

Honestly, in any double-feature where you're watching Final Prayer for the first time, I feel like it's always gonna come out ahead of whatever you pair it with.

Creep is on Netflix and is very good. Stars one of the Duplass brothers and he plays a great crazy person. Skew is good for a watch, creepy movie. Amber Alert is a good non-supernatural creepy movie, you can probably tell what its about by the name. The Bay is a great documentary style found footage film, about pollution and creepy monsters. Lovely Molly is amazing. Possession of Michael King starts off strong, ends badly. Worth a watch. Wer is fantastic. I dont really like werewolf or vampire movies but this one hit the spot. I really like Banshee Chapter, has a Lovecraft vibe going on. The Atticus Institute is similar. Delivery: The Best Within sounds really stupid and I cant believe they went with that name, but is a good ride and the end is crazy. If you have a pregnant wife or are pregnant its pretty intense. This is a few I didn't see mentioned, but my absolute favorites are the Grave Encounter movies and Lake Mungo right under them. The Grave Encounter movies are pretty on the nose and cheesey, but maybe thats why I like them so much.

Thank you, Xenomrph, for starting this thread. I've been really getting into found footage the past few years and it's not always easy finding discussions or information about FF movies. What is everybody's take on Youtube series? I really liked Marble Hornets, particularly season 1, which was my favorite of the Slenderman series. I know there were others being done at the same time, but the ones I was watching either ended or petered out with increasing delays between new entries. I also really liked Louis Paxton, which I think was not as well known but well worth watching if you can find it. Does anybody have any recommendations of other series that are worth getting into?

Check out the Night Mind channel, in addition to being a great paranormal channel, most of his stuff is about Youtube series like this. He has quite a few recommendations.

Have any of you guys seen My Little Eye? It's been a long time, but I recall liking it. It's kind of a take on "Big Brother" with a bunch of people living in a house together, and then bad poo poo happens. It's mostly (entirely?) filmed via the cameras placed throughout the house.

Has anyone else seen the movie Evidence (the one that came out in 2012, not the 2013 movie about a massacre)? It's probably has one of the most bizarre stories that goes from a group of campers being hunted by Bigfoot and somehow becomes a movie like The Crazies with infected people at a government facility. Hell I think it might have had some sort of aliens and genetic mutation subplot as well but it's been a long time since I saw it. It wasn't the best found footage film I've seen by far but they certainly tried to cram a lot of poo poo in it. It's probably worth a watch for FF junkies.

Does Man Bites Dog count as a found footage film? I guess it's a mockumentary in a way but it's definitely horror and the footage had to be found by someone. Anyways I recommend that one if you haven't seen it.

I just checked and it looks like Hulu Plus has it in their Criterion library. Especially if it's a horror movie (and since Hulu is losing its Criterion library soon), I'll bump it up to the top of my watchlist.

Yeah, setting satire as being mutually exclusive from horror (or any genre) is odd.

Saw one called "Daylight" about a team of Child Protective Services people investigating child molesting cases that turn out to involve demons. If anybody else has seen this, can you explain what I just watched? TIA.

I really like when home video footage turns up in non-FF movies for maximum effect. There's a sequence in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer that is far and away the creepiest thing in the movie.

Bit of a cross-post from General, but are there FF movies where the bulk of the time, the characters in it don't realize/know the things that are watching them? Sure, you get it in little bits in every movie (Guy doesn't see The Monster looking at him, whatever), but I'm thinking more comprehensively. The only suggestion is Lake Mungo.

This season of American Horror Story is found footage as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KUjpSNDlY4 The first half of the season is done in a reality documentary format, with talking head interviews and re-enactments, and the second half is the cast of the show, both the actors and the people they were based off of, return to the house along with a production crew to document them going back. ruddiger fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Oct 22, 2016 |
