Not precisely "found footage", but the TV movie "Without Warning" might be up your alley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89u81khMVyc Haven't seen it since it first aired, but did find myself unnerved by it by the end.

After watching the first half of V/H/S, I can safely say I don't like found footage films.

V/h/s/2 is by far the best of the trilogy imo, Safe Haven is loving great, I'm in the camp that SPAA is very good, and both Clinical Trials and Ride in the Park are at least decent and don't out stay their welcome. but they all have some good segments, even 3 has at least one good segment!

VHS also has a little bit more thematic substance to chew on compared to the sequels just by virtue of the fact that it more explicitly tackles the voyeurism aspect of found footage movies than any of the follow-ups.

GDT already has so many projects on dock at this point that when he dies he'll probably explode in a Shao Kahn soul tornado of concept art and linear notes.

My favorite aborted Del Toro project is book-accurate Frankenstein. I still wish he’d make that.

I feel like OG V/H/S has really ben undersold over the years. It's a great movie with the most consistent roster of shorts and the films play off of each other to make it the most cohesive of the movies.

Bunch of thoughts: The last several viewings for my horror movie night has been non-stop hits. The Perfection, Tigers are not Afraid, The Wickerman Double Feature, Midsommar, Butterfly Kisses, Occult. I started this weekly get together in Oct 2017 and we are now on our 97th movie together. In celebration of hitting our 100th viewing we are going to do a weekend marathon where the 4 people who attend the most often each pick a movie (1 classic, 1 modern, 1 foreign, 1 horror comedy) and the rest of the people submit a short. I've been tasked with picking the modern horror (90s+) and it's going to be challenging to find something worthy considering we have generally been staying on top of whatever the latest good releases are. The two titles that jump to mind in that I've seen them but no one else in the group has are The last Exorcism & Martyrs. Martyrs would be cheating a little since it's mixing categories, but it's just so drat crazy and good. I also just saw Luz in theaters and it was not very good. It felt like a budget version of Fallen with Denzel. Which actually could be a good movie for the above event, since I don't think anyone else has seen it other than me. Also about Occult-- Is the idea that the movie is one big dark joke in that the character with powers completely misinterpreted the content and purpose of his premonitions from god? The cataclysmic event was actually the mad cow disease outbreak, which he was given a preview of but failed to recognize, and he was likely supposed to warn and protect people? Instead he somehow twisted this into god wanting him to kills others, and thus was punished for his suicide bombing by being sent to hell?

Del Toro pitched a live action Monster (the Urasawa manga) series to HBO and they didn't pick it up. I feel like that one could've actually done really well.

My Twitter Account posted:According to David Hughes in Tales from Development Hell, the concept eventually developed into Men in Black. It's developed enough that it's like a completely different story though (which is fine of course), it'd be cool to see the original thing made by Del Toro.

Checking in to also say V/H/S owns. There's loads of fantastic underappreciated portmanteau/anthology films. I just recently saw Deadtime Stories for the first time and that was a hilarious mess. Great watch.

Rewatched without warning last night, it holds up really well, I'd love to tigjten up the script and remake it; I think the era of ubiquitous phone cams would make it terrifying

Monster is so perfect for a live action series adaptation, I'm shocked it's never happened yet. There's only like 5% anime bullshit you need to shave off of the source material to make it a perfect drama.

Pretty much the biggest differences from the original MIB comic and the first movie look like they were taken from The Tourist.
