Chronicle is objectively the best found footage movie of all time.

I only hate found footage movies when they completely forget about their own gimmick. Takes me right out of it.

Cannibal Holocaust
Blair Witch
Paranormal Activity
VHS
Taking of Deborah Logan

It's ok but could have been so much better.

I liked Creep.

Blair Witch Project
Cloverfield
Apollo 18

Oh and Zero Day which is probably the most immersive found footage film.

Just looked up a trailer for this and I'm not really grasping what it's about. I'm assuming two white boys decide to shoot up a place or something? Mind trying to give me a quick pitch for why I should watch it?

Marble Hornets on youtube is the best. Sup Forums never mentions it for some reason.

One of the few times in my life that I've gotten high, my friend showed me this one. Scariest experience of my fucking life, I'm sure the movie's only a 7/10 at best but that scene (you know which one) was the scariest fucking thing I've ever seen.

I got the complete series blu-ray in the mail a few days ago. I've never seen past season 2 so I'm really excited.

Horror Found Footage I liked

Noroi: The Curse (although I thought it was way overrated)
V/H/S/ 1/2
Creep
Asylum Blackout
Frankensteins Monsters had like 12 good minutes and the rest was hot horseshit
Chernobyl Diaries I actually really enjoy

Found footage movies I want to know if I should watch:

Lake Mungo
WIllow Creek
The Pyramid (or whatever)

If you liked Chernobyl then you'll like The Pyramid.

>general thread
>for a genre
Kill yourself.

We mention it a lot actually

>Lake Mungo
Yes
>WIllow Creek
Yes
>The Pyramid (or whatever)
No

Guess I'll wait and watch Pyramid last then

Any others that I should look out for?
I liked the atmosphere of Chernobyl Diaries a lot

I also loved the Conspiracy.

Any movies where like a village or cult comes after the person?

I need to keep reminding /ffg/ that it exists.

It's literally Sup Forums: the found footage film.

>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.

The Sacrament

Found footage movies are the only ones that entertain me anymore. VHS 1 and 2 were pretty good

which scene was it? I haven't seen it since last year. Was it the end?

Who /yellowbrickroad/ here

The VHS trilogy has about 4 good shorts between the whole series. You could almost make one watchable movie out of them.

>/yellowbrickroad/

That's not even found footage.

...

it is until the ending

I knew it was that scene.

Oh shit I blocked this from my memory for some time now

Kill List, not found footage but its GOAT

What's a Found Footage movie with a low amount of shaky can, other than VHS?

Why? Are you one of those gay guys that vomits when the camera shakes?

Maybe you should stick to gay-themed sitcoms, homo.

American Guinea Pig is the only thing that comes to mind

>Lake Mungo

One decent jump scare and that's it. Not worth watching unless you're really bored.

>Willow Creek

Interesting from a filmmaking standpoint. Almost a shot for shot remake of Blair Witch, but better made than the Blair Witch. Not so great if you just want a comfy spooky movie.

>They Pyramid

terrible.

>this whole thread
>nobody mentioned Borderland

Weird. It's the best found footage movie.

Also somebody mentioned Noroi. A couple of other interesting J-horror found footage films- The Occult, Shirome, and P.O.V. They have pretty big flaws, but they're still worth watching.

what next film would you like to see in found footage? I really don't want VR to be the next step.

My favourites (that I can remember):
Lake Mungo (more faux-documentary)
The Blair Witch Project
Creep
Chronicle
REC
Willow Creek
End of Watch


I'm hesitant to watch the trailer because I don't want spoilers but I'm really intrigued.

Yea that movie is great.

I've had Shudder for about a year so I've run through most good looking films there (this being one of them)
PHENOMENAL ending.

I mentioned Noroi, I thought it was underwhelming but I still enjoyed the atmosphere. I'll check some of these out.

Daily reminder that the people who make and bump these threads are cancerous attention whores who hate Sup Forums and Sup Forums.

No, I just hate it when the entire middle of the movie is blurry except for closeups of the camera holder's face.

If I'm watching a movie, I want to be able to see things.

what the fuck

How fucking pathetic do yhou have to be to waste time typing that

I like horror movies you stupid fuck and I'll post in any thread I want. Effective non-use of sage you fucking twat.

>muh jump scarez

People like you should be shot. Lake Mungo is quality.

I've been interested in Shudder for months but their Canadian selection is pretty small.

It operated like total shit for the first 6 months or so I had it. I even emailed them and bitched up a storm, they gave me a couple free months

Idk if they finally invested more servers but its been working great, although I can't speak for non-Burger selections.

you disappoint me Sup Forums

thank you for this
i've been on a kick lately
saw collingswood
and this really old one about a murder that happened when someone was looking for the jersey devil and it turns out the documentary guy was the murderer

I pass that on shudder a lot.

What exactly is it like? And was it really broadcast on public access?

This house has people in it is pretty good
youtube.com/watch?v=x-pj8OtyO2I
make sure to check out the website after, there's like 2 hours of footage

it's not real but it's very convincing, not even talking about the story, i just mean the aesthetic, also they actually put adverts in it from the era

>pretending not to be one of them

Huh. I've had that on my HD for a couple months maybe I'll check it out finally

>that spoiler
My friend told me about that one but I forgot the name. Do you remember what it was called?

Yea that really through me off watching AS late at night.

If you liked that you'll like their first project, Unedited Footage of a Bear. Also has a fake website.

GOAT
holy shit niche taste
I think I saw this one from Cinemassacre

it's about a VHS someone found of a local TV station's Halloween night broadcast that was never aired again, first with the news showing hokey segments about local ghost stories etc then with a special where a reporter goes into a supposedly haunted house with psychics to film the experience live but then mysterious things start happening in the house.

Is it real though? no but it is very entertaining, starts off somewhat comedic with fake commercials that do a great job emulating ones of the era but then the creepiness builds and builds until the end

Isn't this a remake of a British thing?

rational

i found it after a search for like best found footage movies, gimmie minute

here we go, the last broadcast

i saw nightmare code, too, which had some nice touches but shit ending

there was this one fairly recently, think it was about two couples who go camping, and one of the women has this enormous rack
found footage really needs more nudity
people have been video'ing themselves naked and doing it for years
there's no reason to exclude it

Oh this sounds righttt up my alley
Ill have to watch it on Shudder once Im off my Hotspot

>not mentioning Long Pigs
>not mentioning The Bay
>not mentioning The Poughkeepsie Tapes
>not mentioning The Wicksboro Incident
>not mentioning Incident in Lake County
>not mentioning The Borderlands
>not mentioning Nightmare Code
>not mentioning Interview with the Assassin
>not mentioning Reel
>not mentioning House with 100 Eyes
>not mentioning Lunopolis

Plebs

>found footage really needs more nudity

Seriously, especially since it's such a prevalent (and enjoyable) horror/slasher trope.

Usually its some dude awkwardly filming his GF while she playfull says "anonnnn stopppp"

No. You're thinking of Ghostwatch

No, although it could have some kind of influence on it.

Speaking of Ghostwatch, that's a fucking GOAT found footage program.

I fell for the Borderlands meme and was extremely disappointed. I do not get the hype and I really really wanted to like it

>found footage really needs more nudity

Dude get a girlfriend. We want a good story and good immersion, not porn.

Same principle though, right?

TV crew "explores a haunted house," as a gag, shit turns out real?

Daily reminder that the only reason OP created this thread is to cause unrest on the board. If anyone calls him on it he will feign indignation and his friends will samefag and bump the thread at full speed to give the image of popularity.

why not both

>I fell for the Borderlands meme and was extremely disappointed.

Not enough jump scarez, pleb?

>Not noticing some of these already mentioned
>Not just mentioning these to add to the conversation
>Plebs

ur so leet bro
twat

>TV crew "explores a haunted house," as a gag, shit turns out real?

That's not what Ghostwatch is at all.

No, I actually enjoy found footage. It's great.

the ending is mostly what had me so salty.. I do like the lack of score and the creepiness in some bits but the rest was ehh

Do you not see all these other people contributing? Why don't you go post in another thread, sage, or kill yourself?
Why not all three?

Daily reminder that the mod who babysits these threads is the same mod who babysits clickbait threads and GoT.

The ending was great. It was exactly what the film needed in the end and it was foreshadowed the whole time.

school shooting film told almost entirely through the killers' video-blogs
it's probably the only good school shooting movie out there

What the fuck even was this movie?

Lunopolis is great.

>at friend's house, he says put on a movie
>play Lunopolis on Plebflix
>about 40 minutes in someone says "This shit is so fake, why would you believe this?"
>spend the next 10 minutes laughing because retarded bitch thought it was a documentary about time traveling not-scientologists from the moon

sometimes i just want to release a found footage movie onto youtube but instead of actual footage it's just a video of a vhs and the joke is that i don't have a vcr so i can't do anything about it

2 hours

written and directed by me

Did you watch The Dirties?

The guy behind this is also doing a found footage film about the faking of the moon landing.

Who is /hype/ as fuck for this?

>1967: the height of the Cold War. The CIA suspects there is a Russian mole inside of NASA, sabotaging the Apollo program. They send two young agents on a mission to go undercover, posing as documentary filmmakers to capture NASA’s race to the moon. The real mission – use their access and technology to hunt down the leak. But what they discover is far more shocking than soviet spies… Their government may be hiding a secret about Apollo that could define the decade, and the White House will stop at nothing to silence anyone who learns it.

movie was fucking retarded

>he's not on a private tracker that has found footage as a category and has many rare titles

i liked the dirties man, totally forgot about it
i'll check out that found footage movie

private tracker faggots are getting more annoying than ever

What do you think about this, /ffg/?

>A couple plots to murder a random stranger just for the thrill of it, but things turn ugly when one of them decides not to go through with it

youtube.com/watch?v=njiBhlMwjJo

the last broadcast was pretty interesting up until the very end of the movie. but holy shit, the last 10 minutes of the film are absolute horseshit that ruined the buildup of the rest of the movie. a waste of fucking time.

Color me interested...

>2016
>he's not on a private tracker
>he can't find shit on his public trackers

kek

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
ITT: Cuck Landis

private trackers doesn't have anything obscure, delusional fag

>private trackers doesn't have anything obscure

It's hilarious that you actually believe this

VHS 1 and 2 are great but stay away from Viral.
The Satanic world part could have been good if they didn't end it with monster dicks.

Willow Creek was directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, apparently.

where can I watch it? Looks awesome

>>not mentioning The Borderlands
This movie went from 0 to 100 pretty quickly.

The ending stuck with me but everything else was pretty bland.

>there was this one fairly recently, think it was about two couples who go camping, and one of the women has this enormous rack
Which one is this

>everything else was pretty bland.

It was a nice build up with likeable, interesting characters.

I guess given the ending I wanted more back story of the spooky monster that lived under the church

The priest character was also pretty dull - just the typical priest in a horror movie act to me.

Backstory is tough on found footage. Mostly people just finding clues and reading stuff. It was a good found footage movie. Gave you more than enough to enjoy it and let your mind do the rest of the world building.
