- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsRobert KermanFrancesca CiardiPerry PirkanenDuring a rescue mission into the Amazon rainforest, a professor stumbles across lost film shot by a missing documentary crew.9/10 THIS IS HALF FOUND FOOTAGE
So basically this is one of the most controversial movies EVER made, the one the inspired the shots of Blair Witch Project and basically started the genre... This is brutal and KIND OF hard to watch at times, and I saw the US edit version (still nudity, blood, violence just toned down).. But people this movie is the ONLY movie EVER to make me stop and appreciate the directors choice of shots, the special effects are AMAZING and better than most films today (yes seriously.) So go watch it, but don't eat during it, or you may experience the meal on the way back up... - DirectorChristopher DenhamStarsLucian MaiselCady McClainAdrian PasdarIn the remote woods of Upstate New York, David and Clare Poe are attempting to live an idyllic life. However, their twin children's bizarre behavior might just tear the family apart.8/10
Ohhh man, more crazy ass children! This movie is awesome, and I think the best actor in it has to be the Dad! He does an amazing job in this film and I hope to see more of his films in the future... Now about the movie, there is not much I can say, besides I would have spanked their asses soooooooo hard. Anyways, buy some condoms before inviting your girl over to watch this one.. because you DEFINITELY do NOT want children like these!!!!!! - DirectorGonzalo López-GallegoStarsWarren ChristieLloyd OwenRyan RobbinsDecades-old found footage from NASA's abandoned Apollo 18 mission, where three American astronauts were sent on a secret expedition, reveals the reason the U.S. has never returned to the moon.6.5/10
This one felt like another typical horror movie the industry tried to shove up Uranus.. (get it? hahahaha!) but this one was actually decent.. Good effects, good premise, good special effects.. This one is very watchable.. But before you watch it, be sure to have an escape pod ready! - DirectorRichard ParryStarsScoot McNairyAnna SkellernAndrew HawleyBrody, his girlfriend Kerry and their friend Leo go hiking in Dartmoor's Wistman's Woods, so named because of its legendary haunted past. That night jealousies, sexual tensions and strained relationships come to a head turning what should have been a peaceful camping adventure into a trip to terror. As collective paranoia reaches fever pitch it becomes clear that there is a much darker force at work in the ancient eerie surroundings. Who or what is after them? And can any one of them survive a night in the woods?5/10
This movie may start slow and may be kinda corny and typical of a Blair Witch rendition but it still does deliver on the thrills and chills (and kills) in the last 40 minutes.. Plus the black and white night vision parts make it very easy to mistake a tree for a person or a rock for an animal... DO NOT have volume all the way up, there are parts with incredibly loud distortion effects and it may actually hurt your ears (seriously) - DirectorMatt Bettinelli-OlpinDavid BrucknerTyler GillettStarsCalvin Lee ReederLane HughesAdam WingardWhen a group of misfits are hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house and acquire a rare VHS tape, they discover more found footage than they bargained for.7.5/10
This movie takes about 20 minutes to kick off, but hang in there because it is WORTH IT!! I really did enjoy this anthology, entirely filmed on V/H/S camcorder.. Now here is everyone's main concern, "In our digital age, WHY record on a VHS??!?!" Simple! Hi-resolution film and recorders have a lower capacity and less available recording time, plus this movie wouldn't be anywhere as effective if shot on a different film.. Anyways, make sure you pee before watching, because you will be glued to the screen!
SIDE NOTE: My favorite stories are the 2nd, 3rd (I think the third, the one with the lake), and the last one, but they are all creepy and effective! - DirectorSimon BarrettJason EisenerGareth EvansStarsLawrence Michael LevineKelsy AbbottAdam WingardSearching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his house and find collection of VHS tapes. Viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be dark motives behind the student's disappearance.7/10
This sequel did not have the same effect on me as the first one did.. But! It was very well made and most of the stories are good. My personal favorite is the one story that is in another language (Korean?) it is just amazing! The first story was just okay.. The one with the bicycler is pretty good, interesting for sure.. But the rest just did not effect me.. Anyways still worth a watch! Better go hook up your old VHS player for this one! - DirectorJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaStarsManuela VelascoFerran TerrazaJorge-Yamam SerranoA television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying.10/10
YES! This movie is one of my favorite horror films, in the top 10! It is a suspenseful, unpredictable, tension riddled, infectious (hint hint), hell of a film! I love it with all my heart and soul, I HIGHLY recommend this one, however it is in SPANISH so watch with SUBTITLES!.. Unless you too speak Spanish... ;) Just be sure to keep a HazMat suit, hand sanitizer, and a loaded pistol in the house.. You'll see why! - DirectorJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaStarsJonathan D. MellorManuela VelascoÓscar ZafraIn order to ascertain the current situation inside, a supposed medical officer and a GEO team step into the quarantined and ill-fated apartment building.8/10
WHOA! This movie is just as intense as the first! Basically we pick up where the first movie ended, only this time add a priest, a SWAT team, and a bunch of teenagers into the mix.. If you saw the first [REC] you HAVE TO see this one! I highly recommend this jaw dropping sequel.. So ration your food, sharpen your knives, and STAY INSIDE! - DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsJennifer CarpenterSteve HarrisColumbus ShortA television reporter and her cameraman are trapped inside a building quarantined by the CDC, after the outbreak of a mysterious virus which turns humans into bloodthirsty killers.8/10
English version of [REC.]; this film is explosively intense and highly highly suspenseful.. However something was lost in translation during the re-make from [REC.] (Rec is vastly superior..) but this movie still brings the scares with an impressive performance from Jennifer Carpenter.. (not as hot as the actress in REC but she will have to do)... Keep away from your neighbors when watching this one! - DirectorHowie AskinsStarsRyan McCoyBrett RosenbergAshley BrackenRyan makes a documentary on his friend, Brett, and his first time camping, until a mysterious figure in the woods starts hunting them.10/10
One of my favorite films in horror, hands down.. Watch it all the way to the end.. It may seem like another Blair Witch but is not.. Watch and you will see! The last 50 to 60 minutes of this film keep your heart racing non stop.. Have paramedics near-by - DirectorScott GlossermanStarsNathan BaeselAngela GoethalsZelda RubinsteinThe next great killer and psychopath has given a documentary film crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the quiet town of Glen Echo.9/10
Ever wonder how these serial killers wind up catching every running person, when they are only walking.. Or how they can play dead so convincingly? This film answers those questions and more! With an amazingly creepy and sometimes funny storyline, this movie will be a great time, every time you watch it.. And Robert Englund is a co-star!.. Lock your doors before loading this beast into your DVD player! - DirectorBrenton SpencerStarsMittita BarberAslam HusainVictor Zinck Jr.In late summer of 2011, five young friends on a road trip went missing after being attacked by nomadic cannibals in a huge RV. Video was recorded by the victims & recovered by police as evidence in their still-unsolved murders.4.5/10
This one is a real lemon... However there is one or two scares (at the most)... The first death is definitely a scary scary moment! I predict you will be avoid RV's after watching this film! - DirectorJoe LynchStarsErica LeerhsenHenry RollinsTexas BattleA group of reality show contestants find themselves fighting for their survival against a family of hideously deformed inbred cannibals who plan to ruthlessly butcher them all.6.5/10
Henry Rollins... Ill let that sink in for a minute. Lead singer of grunge band (old old band) Black Flag, Henry Rollins plays a survival TV host/ex military bad ass in this amazingly creepy film... Henry Rollins is without argument the true star of this horror/action film! Make sure you keep your knife sharp and your head strong for this film soldier! - DirectorJulian RichardsStarsKevin HowarthMark StevensonAntonia BeamishA serial killer uses a horror video rental to lure his next victim. What begins as a teen slasher transforms into a disturbing journey through the mind of Max Parry, a mild mannered wedding photographer with a taste for human flesh.6/10
I really really enjoyed this horror movie, filmed in London.. Basically a killer documents his life and takes the tape to a local video store.. if you watch it... he kills you! Be careful you rent the right DVD at BlockBuster or RedBox when you go to pick up this classic! - DirectorDominic PerezStarsLaurel CasilloMorgan HooperTorrey WeissOn January 9, 2009, five college students left New York City for a weekend in the country. 48 hours later, all five students have simply vanished without a trace. There were no leads and no evidence - until now.7/10
There are a few things I did NOT like about this film... The ending for one, was just alright, nothing amazing about it.. But the rest of the film I really did enjoy a lot... Especially that freaky ca... whoops! Nevermind, you'll see! Make sure you lock the doors in your big wooded cabin before searching for this on Netflix! - DirectorDom RotheroeStarsBradley ColeBrittany AshworthAngela ForrestThe timely story of a normal family disintegrating under financial pressure, eventually driven to the unimaginable. We witness the terrifying events unfold through daughter Judith's video camera, which subsequently becomes Exhibit A.6/10
Mixed feelings on this movie guys, I felt there was a lot of tension and suspense build up, only for a disappointing let down.. Don't get me wrong, this is a great film (British made) however I felt there needed to be a bigger event to release ALL of the tension.. I walked away with some still left over.. But I still recommend it! You better make all your finances are in order (you'll see!) before throwing this gripping film in! - DirectorDaniel MyrickEduardo SánchezStarsHeather DonahueMichael C. WilliamsJoshua LeonardThree film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind.10/10
If you don't love this movie, you hate it, I love it! Watch at night time, full volume, with a few beers, chips and dip, and a locked door! Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen... this film took a miniscule budget of $22,000 - $60,000 to make.. it grossed over $240,500,000 for a REASON people! Just be sure to remove all pentagrams and stick figures from your house while watching the film that popularized the genre - DirectorAnthony FankhauserStarsSally ElbertMichael GaglioJames Arthur LewisA group of investigators enter the former property of depraved serial killer John Wayne Gacy, hoping to find evidence of paranormal activity. Upon entering the place they set-up cameras throughout the abandoned house while going room to room with hand-held cameras, performing séances and asking for John Wayne Gacy to come forward. As the evening progresses it seems the investigators are not prepared for the horror still within the house.0.000000000000001/10
Don't bother... Seriously I hate this one, zero acting skills, scares, direction quality, or redeeming qualities.. Minus the blonde's tits which I cant remember so they aren't that incredible. - DirectorOlatunde OsunsanmiStarsMilla JovovichElias KoteasWill PattonA thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover up.9/10 (THIS FILM IS ONLY HALF FOUND FOOTAGE)
Another more mainstream than most others on my list, this film will keep you on the lookout for strange lights or pesky owls outside your window! Do yourself a favor and invest in a a new set of bed sheets because at 3:00 A.M (you'll see!) you'll need to change them! - DirectorCarlo LedesmaStarsBel DeliáAndy RodoredaSteve DavisAn investigation into a government cover-up leads to a network of abandoned train tunnels deep beneath the heart of Sydney. As a journalist and her crew hunt for the story it quickly becomes clear the story is hunting them.8/10
This one started a little too slow but it is an amazingly effective horror film, and a great found footage experience.. Definitely watch! Have spare pair of boxers or briefs somewhere easily accessible! - DirectorMarc EvansStarsSean Cw JohnsonKris LemcheStephen O'ReillyFive people are offered one million dollars to spend six months together in an isolated mansion, with cameras watching their every move.7.5/10
This movie is pretty darn good for being a low low low budget thing. I really enjoyed the story and atmosphere. Basically a bunch of people have to stay in a house (secluded) and live together for six months to win a certain amount of money (sorry I don't remember how much...) BUT none of them can leave, so if one does, no one gets paid! Just remember, its only a movie, only a movie!! - DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsStacy ChboskyBen MessmerSamantha RobsonIn an abandoned house in Poughkeepsie, New York murder investigators uncover hundreds of tapes showing decades of a serial killer's work.3/10
*EXHALE* this is one "tape" you don't want to watch. - DirectorDean AliotoStarsBenz AntoineKristian AyreGillian BarberAfter a mysterious blackout, a son goes out to investigate and captures footage of actual aliens. When the aliens follow him and his brothers back to their home, all hell breaks loose.9/10
For a TV movie this one is great! No surprise it features many actors and an actress who are now much more well known! Benz Antione to name one, and that woman from Wrong Turn 1.. Not sure of her name.. But ladies and gentlemen, I must warn you.. if you watch this movie, make sure you have your cell phone charged and 911 ready to dial! (By the way, this movie is before cellphones were super huge, so that's why no one whips one out!) - DirectorColin MinihanStuart OrtizThe Vicious BrothersStarsBenjamin WilkinsonSean RogersonAshleigh GryzkoFor their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that's supposedly haunted - and it might prove to be all too true.9/10
An amazing ghost hunting gone wrong movie, makes you think YOU are the crazy one! Watch and enjoy it at night with full volume (although it will be equally effective at daytime!)... if you are mentally unstable or susceptible to breakdowns, avoid this! Otherwise watch it! - DirectorJuan Carlos FresnadilloStarsJeremy RennerRose ByrneRobert CarlyleSix months after the rage virus was inflicted on the population of Great Britain, the US Army helps to secure a small area of London for the survivors to repopulate and start again. But not everything goes according to plan.9/10
More of an action/thriller, this movie still packs in a huge number of crap your pants and heart stopping moments.. The best thing about the film? I'm indecisive! It was all Amazing! AR-15.. You will need an AR-15 to watch this movie safely!! - DirectorFritz KierschStarsJoe Michael BurkeCliff De YoungRobert RuslerThere are over 43 million hunters in the United States today. A great number of hunters...a great number of deer. Statistically something was bound to go wrong.6/10 (THIS MOVIE IS ONLY HALF FOUND FOOTAGE)
So... what can I say? The kid is annoying as all hell in this film, the dialogue is okay at best.. So why the 6/10 rating? The ENDING... The ending to this film is an EPIC unexpected joyride.. and it was worth the 1 1/2 hours of half entertaining build up, this movie is all about the last 7 minutes people! And I seriously recommend having some beef jerky and deer piss (you'll see!) when renting this one on Netflix! - DirectorMatt ReevesStarsMike VogelJessica LucasLizzy CaplanA group of friends venture deep into the streets of New York on a rescue mission during a rampaging monster attack.10/10
I know this is more mainstream than the rest of my list, however this movie just kicked some serious ass! Watch it Watch it Watch it! But keep a tissue box on hand, to wipe the beads of sweat that accumulate out of fear, excitement, and tension! - DirectorScott PhillipsStarsMichael DowneyKerry GoodwinDiane KenleyIn a sleepy and uneventful small town, three college students, bored and desperate to make their mark, plot a savage and merciless murder.5.0/10
I hated this movie so much, I gave it a 5 due to good acting over-all and the emotional power in this film... I hate to see good things happen to good people, and I really couldn't bear this movie at sometimes, and there is no gore at all, just horrible people planning a murder against a stranger, who is a beautiful, talented, charming, optimistic, incredibly attractive woman.. This movie is a damn shame, and I really really disliked it.. Bring tissues before watching this one, I cried too. - DirectorJohn PoliquinStarsRichard HarmonShawn C. PhillipsJennica FultonA film student who is obsessed with the movie Grave Encounters sets out with his friends to visit the psychiatric hospital depicted in the original film.4.5/10
They should have left this movie out of the Grave Encounters story line.. It felt like a really cheap knock off anyway.. Don't get me wrong there are scares, but the timeline is all messed up, and the main character of the first movie re-appears... But they turn him into a crazy wide eye'd maniac... Skip it, it will not be beneficial to the story at all. - DirectorKerry BellessaStarsSummer BellessaChris HillJasen WadeWhen a group of friends decides to follow a car they've seen posted on an Amber Alert, things start to go very wrong.8/10
Creepy creepy movie... I wanted to go and rescue this girl myself! That being said, the main characters argue alot so it may get tedious but the tension is ALWAYS present from start to finish... Buckle your seatbelt before watching this one! - DirectorSid BennettStarsRichard DillanePeter BrookeMatt KaneA British expedition formed by the lead researcher Jonathan Marchant, his assistant, a doctor and a TV crew, travels to Congo to seek evidence of a dinosaur.8/10
I really loved this one, wish I had one of those cute little dinosaurs... That's all I can say without spoiling anything! Keep a safe distance from the screen while watching this Jurassic adventure! - DirectorNathan HynesChris PowerStarsAnthony AlvianoAl BernsteinJean-Marc FontaineA documentary by two desperate young filmmakers who stumble upon the ultimate subject, a 33 year old cannibalistic serial killer named Anthony McAllister, who has agreed to let them document every aspect of his horrifically violent life-style. Initially terrified, the filmmakers get to know Anthony as a person. They even begin to identify with his ecological and philosophical justifications for his cannibalistic lifestyle. It's only when they investigate further that the filmmakers begin to doubt Anthony's accounts of his past. Tensions noticeably rise as the filmmakers continue to confront Anthony on his conflicting stories and ever-changing philosophies. During an awkward interview, the filmmakers interview Merle, the father of a young girl who was abducted and never found. This abduction was Anthony's first child victim. Merle welcomes them into his home and gives them a heart-felt experience that even Anthony is touched by. As the documentary reaches its conclusion Anthony begins to become uncomfortably aware of the how much of his life he has revealed to these filmmakers. In a final interview with Anthony a deadly confrontation erupts and all that remains is a broken camera and this footage. This film will challenge the audience to view a horrific side of humanity and will deliver a social commentary that leaves the audience thinking about the world they live in and the power and effect of all media.8/10
This movie was a very very good one about cannibalism! I really enjoyed the special effects and the creepy way that the killer methodically prepares his meat, as if it were an animal... Get yourself some beef jerky to enjoy with this amazing film! - DirectorChris StokesStarsKristen QuintrallDenyce LawtonChristopher JonesSeven friends on a road trip break down near a rest-stop motel, where they encounter a seemingly helpful group of people. Convinced to stay overnight, the friends wake up in their rooms to a gruesome and bloody terror.6/10
I liked this movie quite a bit, but the ending made no sense to me... Also this movie feels like a Vacancy and Saw rip off, but it is still very watchable. Also the main guy looks alot like Mathew Lillard (the killer in the first Scream) but it wasn't him.. All in all, I would watch it again, because it is pretty damn scary!!! While watching this movie, do NOT ask for help! (you'll see!) - DirectorRémy BelvauxAndré BonzelBenoît PoelvoordeStarsBenoît PoelvoordeJacqueline Poelvoorde-PappaertNelly PappaertA film crew follows a ruthless thief and heartless killer as he goes about his daily routine. But complications set in when the film crew lose their objectivity and begin lending a hand.7/10
Pretty cool movie, black and white and in French; it follows a serial killers daily actions... Some plot points were confusing, but otherwise an incredible movie... Throw some sub-titles on and enjoy it! - DirectorEric NicholasStarsAna Claudia TalancónColin HanksJordana SpiroA quiet but disturbed young man puts the life of a woman he's obsessed with under a virtual microscope when he installs hidden cameras throughout her house.8/10
Staring Colin Hanks (Tom Hank's son) as a stalker, this movie is a real gem in the found footage sub genre of horror.. This movie at times made me feel like I needed a shower, at other times it made me sad, but I was always scared while watching this one... Disable your webcam before watching this great film! - DirectorSean BardinRobert CooleyStarsHeather McCormickIn July 2010, a vacationing couple discovered something disturbing on a ranch in rural Texas. Armed with a home camcorder, they captured their experience on video.5/10
This movie is boring... very boring. But I chose to watch it all the way through because I am a found footage horror buff.. bad effects, stiff acting, plot holes, you name it... Proceed with caution - DirectorStefan AvalosLance WeilerStarsDavid BeardLance WeilerStefan AvalosA film crew ventures into the forest in search of the mythical 'Jersey Devil'.5/10
I will admit it has been roughly 2-3 years since my one time viewing of this movie, however there are many various clips that stand out in my head and that's why I know this movie will at the very least, give you the creeps... May not be an absolute terror like Evidence or The Tunnel, but it is more than enough to stress you out and keep you white knuckled.. Just remember that this is only a movie and th... "umm did you hear that?" - DirectorFred VogelStarsKyle DealmanCasey EganeyDan FriedmanTwo serial killers go on a murdering rampage as one films the outcome from behind a video camera.6/10
I had originally given this movie a 2 out of 10, until I re-watched it.. Basically this movie follows NO storyline, it is just a bunch of random acts of violence, mayhem, sex, and murder all thrown together.. We follow our two main characters through very grainy VHS quality video, as they kill, kidnap, rape, and beat people.. We also take follow them as they get a tattoo, visit a USDA slaughterhouse, a graveyard, concert, and many other events... You may find it boring, like I did the first time.. But if you go into this knowing that there is no story and it was a film made to gross you out, then you may enjoy it more.. This film (while not a great one) is one of the VERY FEW films ever to make me grossed out... Lock your door, load your gun, and sleep with one eye open! - DirectorAndré ØvredalStarsOtto JespersenRobert StoltenbergKnut NærumA group of students investigates a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.8/10
TROLLLLLL!!!!!! Firstly this one is in Dutch, so you will need English subs... Unless you speak the language! Now, this movie is not so scary as it is creepy and interesting.. It does an amazing job of gripping you and pulling you in! Are you a Christian or believe in God? (Storyline important... You'll see!) if so, then do not watch this movie, if not... then DO IT!!!!
