My gf tells just about everyone she ever meets about Lake Mungo. It was Sup Forums that introduced me to it so thanks guys. Sometimes you're alright.
I think Blair Witch is still my favourite. Perfect setup, pacing, length. I don't care if that's a stock answer.
Paranormal Activity 3 was excellent as well.
>Lake Mungo
That is actually pretty good and a litmus test for plebs. Anybody who doesn't like it is usually a complete moron.
It's not a perfect film and it could have done more, but it was very effective.
Leave foundkino to the Norwegians.
>general
Stop.
You should try this one if you want another foundkino.
Thanks, man - will add it to the list
>It's not a perfect...very effective.
Couldn't have said it better
Overrated except for a few shorts.
OK but also overrated.
How informative and useful.
Want to throw in some stuff you DID like?
...
wasn't this a great premise but really crap in the end?
I'd say apart from one or two scenes its pretty much one of the most underrated horror movies ever
The succubus short was the only good one out of either.
Grave Encounters is the only good one.
It was pretty solid but I wasn't a fan of the ending
Which scenes didn't you like?
Grave Encounters was great. I love the premise for that as well
Found footage horror ratings, relative to the genre, not all movies:
>Grave Encounters
4/5
>Troll Hunter
5/5
>Blair Witch
5/5
>Cloverfield
3/5
>V/H/S
2/5
>V/H/S/2
1/5
>As Above So Below
3/5
>The Borderlands
4/5

5/5

>Megan Is Missing
4/5
>Apollo 18

>The Bay
1/5
>The Pyramid
4/5
Bit harsh on The Bay there - I thought it was quite effective just needed to be a 40 min short
>Blair Witch
>5/5
I never understood the love for this. It's mostly people arguing in the forest, with something "scary" happening once every 15 minutes or so.
I liked
>pyramid 4/5
>the bay 1/5
>vhs 2/5
>vhs 2 1/5
lel is this a joke?
you're a pleb
>not mentioning Noroi:the curse
Cannibal Holocaust is unironically pure kino
when she hugs her father and he just fucking fades out. Thats pretty much the only one I can remember off the top of my head. Overall I loved it though.
Thats what made it feel realistic, not just another cliched horror where someone is due to die every now and then.
wrong. the cult one is also good.
I saw two found footage movies recently, Area 51 and Atrocious which is Spanish. Anybody else seen either of them? Honestly neither are very good.
I agree, that scene was pretty weak. Speaking of her father, I wish we had gotten more footage with him in that cave at the start.
What are some found footage tropes you hate?
>Camera falls onto the ground at some point
>Camera cuts off when something interesting is about to happen and resumes when nothing is happening
sorry but you're a pleb for not liking this. its pretty close to what would happen IRL.
is this good?
The Pyramid is literally one of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever seen. How the fuck do you rate it 4/5?
>>Megan Is Missing
>4/5
No. 3/5 and that's mostly due to the ending.
>The Bay
>1/5
No. 3/5 at least.
>The Pyramid
>4/5
lol what no. 2/5.
yes
Check out The Dirties and Zero Day.
Both about school shootings.
Haven't seen it.
The V/H/S movies should really just be separated into their component shorts for rating purposes since the quality jumped up and down a lot. On average though, most of the shorts were not worth watching.
Blair Witch helped create the genre. Despite this, it also managed to avoid tons of horror cliches. I actually saw it after watching two dozen or so found footage horror flicks and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
>The Bay
>3/5
It was barely a step above an Asylum film. The only good thing to come out of that movie was the .gif of the bug running along that guy's arm that everyone here thought was real for the longest time.
It's the only movie in this thread that doesn't have a shitty jump scare
[REC] is one of my favorite found footage movies, but it has a ton of jump scares.
Probably one of my favorite horror movies. Koji's later film Occult is also a GOAT found footage film
>not mentioning
>Ghostwatch
>Hellhouse LLC
>UFO Abduction (1989)
>Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County (1998)

There's like 700 found footage films but you keep mentioning the same 15.
the pyramid is fun
fun!
If you're actually enjoying watching FF movies then you should probably kill yourself.
probably in the top 5
>The Dirties and Zero Day.
those were actually good, yes. zero day was...weird.
>grave encounters and the pyramid
mah nigga
>blair witch
but this one was overrated shit
Also no one mentioned necropolis? it was kino.
you probably watch capeshit so kys instead
You gotta love how batshit insane the ending is. One of those ones where you have to go back and rewatch it to confirm what you just saw.
At least we can agree the gracefield incident is a 0/5?
Occult's ending kinda spoilt it. Had the potential to be disturbing as fuck but it's just funny.
The most batshit ending to a found footage movie I have ever seen is this one. It's like they made the movie just to show that roller coaster ending.
Yes. Canadians are retarded.
It triggers me because while the build up is good, I find the transition from its haunted to holy shit there's a ancient evil worm god underneath the church was so abrupt and crazy, and it broke one of my hard rules for found footage: It needs to make sense how the footage was found.
I actually found the funny way it plays the ending off, with the sudden cut to unfitting music, to make it a little more disturbing. It's such a bizarre ending and interpretation.
I remember this movie really scary when I saw it, the film was aired in a public access channel in my country when I was in elementary school and practically all my classmates watched it.
It was quite the hot discussion topic back in the day when it was broadcast.
>it broke one of my hard rules for found footage: It needs to make sense how the footage was found.
footage was being wirelessly relayed to the base station in the church. they even explicitly put a wireless relay on the way...
pay more attention, dude.
Found out the Occult/Noroi director did The Ring vs The Grudge. Wasn't especially scary but it was plenty fun and shows he can actually handle having a budget.
That's my fuck up then.
He tends to do humorous shit or tortureporn. Cult is a nice found footage by him that mixes humor with spooks.
The ending alone is worth it
"You said it wasn't real"
"It's moviiing"
yeah it was pretty nice. this thread needs to see more FF movies though.
I'd have to go with The Shining.
stop it user
Dunno about general consensus but that's exactly how I felt about it. I love reality bending horror, or whatever you call it. Grave Encounters was great in this regard.
The Fourth Kind was scary as fuck.
not really
I thought this was fun.
Megan Is Missing is the only movie were /ff/ has been a positive addition
I'm biased but Chronicle is the worst - I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it
forgot pic
>Occult
Downloading it. 10 hours left. Yay!
>>I'm biased but Chronicle is the worst - I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it
why
I thought that it was pointless to make it found footage, but I didn't think the movie was worth hating.
I hate that it was /ff/
I like the movie itself
i liked the aesthetic of the base in area 51. it looked just about how i imagined it
can you say what the movie is about and what the ending is? dont see a summary online
He's the son of the guy who was decapitated on the set of Twilight Zone. It's been over three decades, get over it, faggot.
Epic reddit thread, I can't wait until all of Sup Forums is neatly organized into subreddits
...
does Punishment Park count?
...
Has there ever been a non horror found footage film
>snotty, up the nose, shots.
Is Paranormal Activity considered a horror?
Yeah, project X.
:(.
The fuck are you on about?
