i like the idea, it's fun to suspend your disbelief, but you have to meet me halfway and actually try to appear convincing, as well

Quarantine was scary as fuck, I liked that movie. Then again I did watch it on mushrooms. They tend to make horror movies quite effective.

It was entertaining for like... a couple of years, back during the days of Blair Witch Project.

But it was only because the term "found footage" hadn't actually become a genre yet.

Then the formula became too repetitive with the same jumpscares and effects an it just wasn't the same.

The original REC was awesome though, probably my favorite.

I think the only ones I have seen were the Blair Witches and the Paranormal Activities. They all put me to sleep.

Agree.

The first two VHS movies and the first Cloverfield movies are the only one's I can think of.

Me and my cousin basically watch every single one available to us. They are sooooo fun to rip on. It's been a ritual for us for years. I use a lot of weed. He lives a sober life, so I have no idea how he does it tbh.

LOL. This looks like some Youtuber shit. Im gonna text it to him and see what he says. It might be a lil too whacky for him. Also he recently stopped watching demonic movies and this looks like it toes the line. I have no idea where his line is. He never stops movies if they end up being demonic after like half way through. Dunno what happened cause Paranormal Activity use to be his shit.

You ever see Daisy Browns youtube channel? It's a story line, so you gotta start from her first video. It's ridiculous. Me and my niece had a lot of fun watching it and goofing on it.

This. The whole point of found footage is it's supposed to look like real footage that was found and released. You can't just sling a handheld camera around and put some fake grain on it so it looks cheap and call it a day. It's an interesting concept that has been done really well a few times but it's also something that can be thrown out quickly with no budget which is why it became a fad.

Yea, it's probably my favorite genre of horror even though 99% are awful, because when done well it's so good.

Some. Like, I genuinely think The Blair Witch Project is a great horror film with one of the most effective endings to a horror movie, like, ever. I think the only other horror flick with a better ending is the first Evil Dead's ending.

But I like it because it's so simple, it works. It doesn't rely on special effects and shit to try to scare you. The sound, the fear of being alone in the woods, the breakdown in communications between you and your friends, and the paranoia that follows...it's great. That, and the viral marketing for it really helped its visibility, too. The real shame is that it, like The Exorcist, got saddled with a reputation it couldn't supersede.

I've only watched Blair Witch back when it came out. I was young.
It is still ranked my most disliked movie.
At least Cats had fun music.

I also wanna recommend Lake Mungo. It's not exactly found footage, but it's a mockumentary style horror film.
