Hey #FilmNerds I saw a #BodyHorror Thread and hoped maybe we could make another list?
What are the best #FoundFootage #films you've got other than:
Edit: I'm not looking for "best" as in Roger Ebert, I'm looking for descriptive of the genre.
1) Hell House, LLC and series
2) Grave Encounters and series
3) Blair Witch and series
4) Paranormal Activity and series
5) Host
6) The Collingswood story
7) The Andy Baker tape
8) VHS and Series
9) REC
I tried to get to 10 but with 4 series in there it got hard to think of more.
On a related note: We need a #Phasmophobia or #Demonologist movie.
Today, April 3, in 2006, Bob Smeet captures a strange, ghostly image while taking photos of water levels at the dam (Lake Mungo, 2008)
It's out!
"Storyteller + digital artist Mez Breeze explores the liminal spaces of The #Backrooms, a #foundfootage web series which is based on a popular #creepypasta of the same name. In doing so, Breeze confronts the feelings of alienation and predation inherent to late-stage capitalist society."

Obscure Japanese mockmentary/analog/found footage horror movie, Saiko: The Large Family.
Free on YouTube.
Very subtle uncanny/creep. Pay attention.
"What happens if we get a #fascist government here in the States, would you take it down?" Oh, cyber heroes... #hackers #comedy #foundfootage

Incantation on Netflix is pretty good found footage horror. Taiwanese, very dense story, try to keep up, great visuals and evocative themes, folk horror and religious horror elements, a squick for everyone.
"Sentsov, who spent several years as a political prisoner in Russia and is now fighting in the Ukrainian army, found the 90 minutes of shaky footage six months after the battle. He was going through old files on his GoPro camera and realised it had been switched on that day."

Well I started my #31daysofhorror by finally watching The Outwaters...
I think I have sat in silence ever since it ended what a ride..

Does anybody know of any reasonable quality vintage clip archives that offer low cost or free footage to use in independent film and music projects? #Histodons #PublicDomain #InternetArchive #RoyaltyFree #Filmmakers #Filming #Visuals #Archives #Archivists #Collections #OldFootage #FoundFootage #AskFedi #AskFediverse
Just watched FINAL PRAYER aka THE BORDERLANDS (2013) for the first time and holy hell. How did I never see this movie before?? Found footage, haunted churches, pagan rituals, folk horror, cosmic dread... This movie has it all.
Exactly the type of movie I love and that consistent, deliberate ramp up at the end leads to such a great WTF moment... Loved it. It's on Tubi. Go watch it.

Operation #lost camera.
My son found a camera when he was Magnet fishing on the Zaanse schans a year ago. Then I got sick and couldn´t do anything with this camera.
Its SD card contains photo's and video's of an Asian girl/woman who is doing a world tour.
She speaks Mandarin Chinese. And in the video she is on Marakech Airport. Thanks for the translations.
The next step is to find her.
RT is very much appreciated
This movie I’m watching, Death of a Vlogger, I’m really liking it so far. It’s an interesting twist on #FoundFootage in that it’s in documentary form with interviews. It’s a fairly insightful commentary on social media.
There’s a “social physiologist” on screen now with the best explanation for trauma bonding I’ve ever seen: When your phone buzzes, you get a little hit of dopamine when you see a like. So you come to crave your phone buzzing. Then imagine if over time, that experience becomes painful, negative. You still crave the dopamine hit, but it comes with pain.
I’m relating to that so hard, not just social media (Twitter especially), but also my experience with my abuser. Love bombing creates the attachment, which later becomes painful, but damn it’s a hell of a drug. #horror #AbuseCulture #TraumaBonding
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror #books far & wide.
Memories & perception are malleable- what if time was, too? Siblings burdened by guilts both real & imagined must reckon with their grief- & reality becoming unmoored- in AGONY'S LODESTONE, a fantastic, unique debut by Laura Keating where the past is now present and the future, fragile. Out today from Tenebrous Press.

Watched BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE last night & will likely watch HORROR IN THE HIGH DESERT tonight.
MOUNTAIN was a good, creepy li'l film. Really liked the questions it posed/got me to ponder. Won't spoil it any more except to say, if you like cosmic horror, give it a go. (Both on Tubi)
@MevsMatze have you seen either of these? If you like cosmic horror you might want to put Black Mountain Side on your list of watches.
I watched #TheOutwaters on Saturday. Suffice to say, it's not for me, but I will check out what writer/director Robbie Banfitch does next. As always, this is free to everyone. #horror #horrormovies #film #filmreviews #foundfootage
