Gopro hiker youtuber guy werewolf movie. he gets bit and keeps hiking and later reviews his footage in horror as it turns out he turned into a monster and ate a bunch of campers on that night he couldnt remember.

Minus the werewolf part, this is kind of what happens in Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.

I never saw the remake but holy cow if it's worse than The Rage: Carrie 2 I doubt I ever will. Though I didn't like, DESPISE Carrie 2, it was just wasn't very good.

I mean Carrie 2 has an ending where a bunch of Fred-Durst-looking proto-chuds get slaughtered, and I'm willing to take that where I can get it.

Wasn't there an attempt at a Carrie TV pilot a couple of times too as well as a made for TV movie in like 2009 or something? What a weird property.

There's an upcoming movie that I was really excited about, that's like a mockumentary about a cursed film? It's shown at festivals but hasn't had a wide release yet... Anthrum or Arthum or something? Someone please remind me what the gently caress it's called.

The Fourth Kind is another one of these, with another layer added where some scenes are presented as re-enactments of real events, but we also see the "actual" found footage on which those dramatic re-enactments are supposedly based.

Just watched Hell House LLC III on Shudder. The first one was really great but unfortunately it might have been lightning in a bottle. Part 2 is crap (and boring to boot) and while the new one is better it's still not good.

The second one had two major flaws: bad acting (which makes it unbelievable as found footage) and a climax that really drags (because they tried to add a shitload of backstory, and it requires a huge exposition dump to make sense). In the new one, with the exception of a couple of people, the acting is significantly better. The climax is much better, too, in that at least this one gets where it's going, but it suffers from its big gore set piece looking like it was done for about $50.

All in all I guess it's about as enjoyable as your average piece of random SOV trash, but that's a disappointment considering how much I enjoyed the original. drat.

Also, HHL III has this weird coda that brings back all the characters who died in the first movie, showing them as trapped in the Abbadon Hotel No Exit-style. It doesn't come completely out of nowhere, as there are a couple of earlier scenes that kind of set this up, but the movie has too much other stuff going on to really do much with that thread, which is a shame because it's actually kind of interesting.

The Collector does that thing that is rampant in horror movies in the early 00's where the color correction is Too Blue, so as to be "dark" and "cold", and Too Green or Too Yellow, so as to be "gritty" and "dirty", and it just looks like complete poo poo.

I've always mentally blamed Traffic for starting this. Was that actually where it came from?

I wish that movie had killed me.

That was 100% the work of someone who made a horror movie, realized it was unreleasably terrible, and then shot ten minutes of faux-documentary footage about a spooooooky spooooooky curse to wrap around it at the beginning and end. The "lost film" angle doesn't play into it at all.

This isn't a very good movie, but it's a fairly satisfying watch as it's extremely 1999 and all the villains who get killed are Fred-Durst-esque proto-chuds.

Speaking of Blair Witch, I was pleasantly surprised giving a second look to Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. It still wasn't great but it was a lot more watchable than I remembered it being.

Read the shooting script if you haven't already, it's on the internet somewhere. They intended to make a much better movie than what we actually got.

Any spook-a-doodle parents want to share tips on raising my offspring to love horror?
I've got a preschooler and ever since she was born she's enjoyed toys and decorations with a "spooky" aesthetic (skeletons, etc.). We watched the recent animated Addams Family movie a couple of months ago and she loves it, and I've shown her a couple of episodes of the b&w TV series too. I want to show her older stuff initially, things that aren't reliant on blood/gore obviously, but that would still be fun to watch without being too terrifying -- I'm thinking specifically of the 1931 Dracula (and/or other old Universals) or one of the Shōwa Godzillas. Suggestions?

I was a really timid kid and was well into my teens before I worked up the courage to watch a full-length horror movie. In middle school I would live vicariously through my friend Drew -- he was the kid with the cool mom who dyed her hair and was into horror movies and heavy metal -- and when a new Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th or whatever came out he would go see it and then tell me about it.

Sometimes I'd watch Tales from the Crypt on HBO, even though the Crypt-Keeper freaked me out, because sometimes it had boobs.

It sucks that the logistics of the plot fall apart thinking about it though.

Where did the knife that he kills Cecelia's sister with come from? It literally just appears. Did he somehow conceal it inside the suit without accidentally gutting himself, or did it just float unnoticed through the restaurant until it got to their table?

Why does it take her forever to grab one of the many dead hospital guards' many guns, and why doesn't she shoot Adrian while he's taunting the one guard, even though she can see he has his back to her?

I'm sure there's more, too. Ugh, this movie sucked.

Horror Queers, hosted by two guys from Bloody Disgusting, is good and funny and its original concept was to mainly focus on LGBT themes in horror but has broadened to watching mainstream horror from an LGBT perspective. They include "camp" in the definition of "LGBT themes".

No-Budget Nightmares can be fun, but it is primarily "two guys watch SOV movies on YouTube, then tell you everything that happens so you don't have to watch them yourself". The hosts are good if you like that kind of thing.

I�m still cheesed that they�ve never released a VHS version of Paranormal Activity 3. Cowards!

I like found footage a lot, but one of my main judging criteria for it is whether the movie is believable as "found footage," and while I can understand why the filmmakers of PA3 would choose not to make most of the movie look like 20-year-old videotape, it would have been a way cooler watch if they had.

Party Hard Die Young is a fun nineties-throwback teen slasher set at a dance-music festival, but it ends up in a kinda problematic place by the end. It's secretly a rape-revenge movie, except the "revenger" turns out to be the bad guy and the rapists survive in the end. There's a subtitled German version and and English dub on Shudder, but don't watch the dub, it's awful. Watch the subbed version and learn some fun German swear words and the extremely dumb word for "mobile phone" (das Handy).
