was that the one where they were investigating some Church that somehow turned into a batshit maze? If its that one then it was alright.

VHS was so so, but I add it to the list for the weird succubus'ish short.

Blair Witch though was amazing. I saw it when it came out, but before they dropped the hype campaign. BW is easily the best marketing campaign for a movie I've ever seen and heard.

I thought Unfriended was one of the most retarded movies I'd ever seen until I read that they essentially did the entire move as a long take, with everyone being in the same house.
>>
>>69245991
I actually thought Unfriended ended up being much better than I expected.
>>
>>69236646
The sequel surprised me in a good way with its fantasy elements. And when the guy gets his camera back and starts trying to do his show. Lots of shit but some moments were solid

>>69235043
I don't think they ruined it, just wasted the potential, it was still decent for what it was.

>>69238766
I can't wait for this.

>>69246019
Unfriended was an excellent use of the computers etc, the story was too simple though.


Glad to see there's another one up. I have so much watching to do and discuss.

Just remembered something sort of interesting. It's called Final Flesh and the idea behind it was writing into custom porn companies and requesting the most inane things possible, meant to be more comedy than horror, but I imagine some comes off intensely creepy.

Ya'll niggas seen noroi: The Curse? It's probably my favorite Found Footage movie, and i've seen a lot.
>>
>>69234957
I thought VHS 2 was far superior to the first film.

Viral though, was shocking. I couldn't believe how much they fucked up.
>>
>>69263397
This. V/H/S 1 is a solid flick but the stories are very twist heavy and while effective, only really work once. Tuesday the 17th is the only bad one (because its just a worse slenderman) but on the whole it's a flick you watch once, maybe twice.

2 however is just fantastic. Safe Haven is by far the best short in the series and could easily be adapted into a fuller story. Slumber Party Alien Abduction was deceptively spooky despite it's title and Clinical Trials is interesting and engaging. Walk In The park is the only bad one and even then it's a good idea that just comes out boring.

Viral is trash. Parallel Monsters is the only interesting one and even then it's very obvious hat the twist will be and only works because it has that weird sex thing going on. The other two are too comical to be scary or tense and while that would be fine for one of them, it's half of the film not even trying to be scary.

Marble Hornets was pretty good. It was breaking new ground for the youtube horror community and while it ended up abandoning it's monster for a crazy guy and ruining it's narrative in the process, it still has a lot of good spooks.

So my best friend is a pussy when it comes to scary movies. He literally refuses to watch any scary movie and really doesn't like to even talk about them. He said that the scariest looking and scariest sounding movie he can think of in the whole world is The Blair Witch Project.

I tried telling him it's more unsettling and creepy than scary, and that I managed to watch it when I was 13 and loved it. What can I tell him to convince him to watch it? I want to see it with him because I love the idea of scary movies actually scaring people - I've seen so many I've become kind of jaded, so it's a neat idea to share a scary movie with a friend who it would actually effect. It's like watching a comedy with someone who actually laughs.

Yes. It's an overused term here, but serves a purpose: Lake Mungo is one of the very few kinos in FF and the horror genre in the last couple of decades.
It's still very underrated. It's a fantastic mix of drama/documentary/horror that makes it so essential and good.

Such a typical muh """spooky""" unexplained found footage ending. Devil's pass was OK simply for the scenery, but the whole conspiracy with the ship brought it from a 6/10 to a 5/10. FF writers are so immature, like kids at a camp-fire telling stories.

I liked the first two VHS movies but I haven't seen Viral yet. Everyone tells me it's superbly bad. Can someone explain what makes it like that? I find it hard t believe that they could have fucked up something like this on such a scale.

I love how people act like Lake Mungo isn't praised out the ass on this board.
Never before have I felt so betrayed by /tv/ as when I watched that shit.
>inb4 hurrr you just wanted jumpscares
I'm perfectly fucking fine with a slow burning horror movie but holy shit Lake Mungo was trash.

That' probably because that's the only memorable part of the entire movie.

As a Norwegian, I was surprised myself because our movies usually aren't good.

Of course we can produce kino. It's actually a word in our language.
