What is your favorite found footage film of all time, Sup Forums?
What found footage films are you looking forward to?
I'm glad this thread still exists. Last one was fun.
Are there even any good found footage films coming up though? I can't think of any off the top of my head.
THE WOODS
I want to make one about the Australian Outback and UFOs.
Not aussie but try this.
I was in the last thread and I said I'd come back here if As Above So Below, or Grave Encounters sucked. Grave Encounters is as bad as AASB is good, which means it's really fucking bad. Whoever said it was decent can tongue my ass.
The girl in [REC] is such a qt patootie
Grave Encounters is not a bad film. If you have seen dozens of found footage films, you'd know there's much worse.
God damn was she hot. I've probably seen this movie like 100x by now, even if most of them were just background while working. Such a fucking cutie.
That Carpenter bitch or whatever her name is can't even compete.
I can't help but have a jerk session every fucking time I see the part where she gets dragged off and I've never done that with shit like GoT/Californication.
Tits
I feel like it's been cheapened by the sequels and American remakes, but still one of my favorites.
>another film's suck makes this film's suck not suck
Kill yourself
You don't know what's bad until you've seen the worst.
you gave no argument to why grave encounters is bad in the first place
Have you learned nothing?
AASB was a real let down, and that's coming from someone who figured it was gonna be shit. Great concept and horrible execution, probably trying to jump on the Paranormal Activity train (spend 25k making a movie and make millions).
Grave Encounters 2 is far worse than 1, don't even bother, but the 1st is at least worth a watch if you hate shows like Ghost Hunters and want to see them all die.
You triggered faggots don't know what I've seen. Also, who cares what reasons I have for hating shit? I came here to berate, not argue.
That's great. You done? Most people here don't think Grave Encounters was bad.
Currently working on a found footage script about Salem witch trials
Nice meem
Yeah, I'm done. I'd hate to make you cry by shitting on your pwecious wittle ghost movie.
Lol why are you so angry? Just chill out and discuss found footage with us.
Not this user and not looking to beef here either (these threads are generally civil) but I thought grave encounters was pretty bad. I should try watching again but I remember it being dull and badly acted.
I found footage of my mom giving birth to me when I was 5. Got anything similar?
naw aasb was great, end your life
Grave Encounters was fun, especially whilst stoned. Drifted into insanity.
As Above so Below was fun too, found footage tomb raider basically.
Chronicle, for a non spooky found footage
yeah i've got footage of me ass fucking your mom 10 min later
[REC]3 girl is seriously underrated. As is the movie.
[REC] 3 is beyond shit. What good is a horror comedy that isn't horrifying or amusing.
Guys grow up and just discuss found footage.
Yeah [REC]3 girl was so fucking hot. At the end when she torn up her wedding dress, HNNNNGGGGGG
>tfw found footage is my gf's favorite type of horror movie
>praying every month the new films are as good as AASB but they always end up being crap
this genre is truly curse
i agree the girl was pretty hot in her torn up wedding dress
>guys grow up and discuss the fast food of horror movies
Is The Tunnel 2 ever fucking coming out? I loved the first one.
>Oh fuck, not the woods!
I've found footage of op prepping the bull for his wife
Gonna watch this tonight, what am I in for?
Interracial gang bangs
I saw that too. Pretty sure Grave Encounters was playing in the background.
>that awkward moment when the Paranormal Activity ripoff has the exact same production value as the real thing.
I'm not a huge found footage fan, with the exceptions I've seen being REC, Chronicle & The Poughkeepsie Tapes. But I'm in an open minded mood and would love something that would give me the creeps, especially. Problem is, I've been watching horror movies since I was 7 so I'm very, very hard to scare (That's not a brag, I hate it, it makes me feel dead inside that movies so rarely give me that visceral reaction any more) So, you're gonna have to give me your most intense suggestions. I remember The Poughkeepsie Tapes gave me the feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach, and is the only reason I remain open to watching any of these types of flicks. Nothing like Grave Encounters please, cheap jumpscares make me laugh.
Look into the August underground trilogy.
that's just gore porn. it's not creepy at all.
there are no creepy found footage movies anymore.
>end your life
Says the guy defending a movie in a found footage thread.
leave foundkino to the Norwegians
Completely legit
One of the best found footage movies ever made.
Girl was pretty hot (not better than original chick), but the movie was pretty shit. Even compared to the 4th one.
I said I wanted horror movies, not a badly made, terribly acted gore flick for edgelords
oh lol I posted the wrong thing. didn't even watch it
this is the real ripoff by Asylum:
youtu.be
>would love something that would give me the creeps
>cheap jumpscares make me laugh.
Watch Lake Mungo
Awesome and hilarious movie. I love the recurring "trolls can smell christian blood" gag.
I heard this was shit.
>August underground
That's retard-tier gore shlock. Don't even mention that shit in here again.
>praying every month the new films are as good as AASB
Why is it that you guys are so focused on a movie that is less than 2 years old, when there are much better FF before then?
Honestly I don't think I've seen a decent FF after Paranormal fuckmyshitup Activity fucked the whole genre with cash grabs. It was (and might still be) my favorite genre, but it's so goddamn hard to find anything that's not total shit and AASB was pretty close to total shit.
A good nap.
Great movie if you don't mind subtitles. Probably in my top 5 found footage films.
I laughed a lot and the ending was beautifully done imo.
Plus the found footage sequence at the beginning was genuinely interesting since very few found footage films attempt big crowds in confined spaces. The cheap "Wedding Video" effects and family interviews made it like a Dogme film.
That's part of the troll mythology. People used to think they could smell christian blood and back then pretty much everyone was christian so you were fucked either way.
Actually pretty good. Great pacing and development, and pretty satisfying ending.
I agree with this post.
The pacing was one of its strongest points. Too many found footage movies take too long to build up and pretty much nothing happens in the first half.
For some reason there was something about this movie that kept it from being a 10 for me, but I don't know what it is exactly.
Maybe the part of the movie around the time where they were in the cave, with the farting trolls.
There's a scientific explanation for everything in the film except that, and no proof is presented. Plus it's ridiculous that he would have a bucket of christian blood. It adds another layer of comedy when you realize he's just fucking with them.
Long Pigs is mockumentarykino
It's funny, when I first noticed it on Netflix I thought it looked lame as hell. Even when I started watching it I had my doubts, I'm not huge on subtitles. But it definitely sucks you in.
They pretty much didn't give a shit about their friend dying
fucking boring
>mockumentarykino
Behold!
>A cameraman, Ron Kobeleski, finds out that his next-door neighbor, Walter Ohlinger, may be the much-fabled second gunman who assassinated President John F. Kennedy. At first, Kobeleski doubts the elderly man's story. But Ohlinger increasingly convinces the younger man that he was a pivotal player in one of the 20th century's most notorious crimes
Ive seen most of the ff movies out there?what movie is AASB?
As Above So Below: The Pest Chronicles
see
I like found footage/mockumentary films like this where the camera crew is at first distant, strictly professional, but gradually become more involved in the action. I guess you could stretch this definition to fit almost all found footage stuff but it is particularly pronounced in stuff like Man Bites Dog.
those tingles at the end so relaxing
Yeah, it's certainly not a 10. I gave it an 8 and that's the highest I've ever given found footage. It also surprised me as a Norwegian because our movies typically aren't very good.
One thing I like about the movie is that I recognize so many of the locations because I've done a lot of road trips and mountain hikes in the area where it's filmed. Doesn't really add to the movie quality, but it's a nice bonus.
If you haven't seen Punishment Park get on that shit right now.
See:
Who /thebay/ here?
Sounds cool. Will watch it.
keep forgetting this exists. is it good? Barry Levinson doing found footage sounds fucking weird.
Any good ones about exploring mysterious places?
This one was kinda dumb, but I enjoyed it.
>tosses the weighted down body into 1 foot deep water
That movie has some hysterical moments.
I wish more found footage films would bother with a frame story like that of Cannibal Holocaust. Makes it more immersive and frightening when you have some context for how the footage was discovered, instead with most found footage stuff it just feels like a regular movie that was shot in the handheld style because they were too lazy to bother with cinematography.
it's one of the best and it was made way back in 1971. Spinal Tap which popularised the genre was made in '84, so that gives you an idea of how far ahead of its time it was.
Is The Blair Witch project the best found footage film of all time?
Chernobyl Diaries will be right up your alley.
It's definitely a dark comedy.
No. Despite the creepy ending the rest of the film is a chore to watch. But I guess the same could be said of most found footage.
Yeah, been meaning to watch that ever since I visited Chernobyl and Pripyat.
in retrospect calling spinal tap the progenitor of found footage is kinda dumb. I retract that dumb statement.
boredom and disappointment
Well it definitely popularized the mockumentary genre.
seriously?
every night scene was atmospheric as FUCK and i found myself easy to imagine myself in their shoes
the sound work was just amazing
Did you watch/play/read Stalker too?
ATTENTION /FFG/
REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE LITERALLY Sup Forums: THE FOUND FOOTAGE MOVIE COMING SOON.
>Be My Cat: A Film for Anne is a 2015 English-language Romanian found footage horror movie directed, produced and written by Adrian Țofei, about a young man going to shocking extremes to convince Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway to play in his film.
This was fucking poor desu, very predictable stuff
>visited Chernobyl
>didn't get eaten by mutants
I don't believe you.
I have seen Stalker, but I have yet to play the games.
They told us that the worst mutant were some kind of catfish, so I stayed away from the river.
this looks fucking great.
Also I am reminded of the plinkett reviews.
The games aren't very similar to the movie, but the atmosphere in them is amazing.
