Fuck... Again??

Lake Mungo and The Dirties are shit.

Clover Field
Project X
Chronicle
Echo to Earth

Worth watching if you like found footage

Exists would be the best big foot one

Most horror ones are just a waste of time,

Zero Day is Columbine-the movie.
But an hour and a half of build up for a average 5 minute shooting scene isnt worth it.
>>
>>70372555
Back to your foot worship threads
>>
>>70373047
Continuing...
Paranormal activity's are just jump scare creepy type of scary, which the boring in between spreads too thin.

Blair witch is creepy shit and noises happen and there are 3 "scary scenes" finger, tent and lame as fuck end with dude standing in the corner.
Easy to get over.
Might make you scared to go camping.
>>
>>70372214
I say it ever time these threads come around - Grave Encounters is a good watch.

I also enjoyed Europa Report though it seems to be quite divisive on this board.

You should watch Willow Creek for a good camping scene.

The only found footage movies I ever liked are The Borderlands/Final Prayer, Afflicted and The Tunnel

You need to watch more of them

I generally loathe found footage horror movies, or found footage in general. But the found footage parts of End of Watch were great, as was the ordinarily filmed ones.

Regarding horror though? I've only seen 'As Above So Below' and I quite liked that one. But in general horror is a fucking shitty genre.

Leave foundkino to the Norwegians
>>
>>70382369
>foundkino

I like this term
>>
>>70372214

1. Cannibal Holocaust
2. Blair Witch Project
3. REC
4. Oltre il guado
5. What We Do in the Shadows
6. Zivot i Smrt Porno Bande (aka Life and Death of a Porno gang)

Those 6 are the only FFFs that I would call really great, though some of them are not even "pure" FF.

These are also decent: Creep, Det okända., Grave Encounters, Banshee Chapter, Trolljegeren, Det okända, Cloverfield, etc.

Generally, FFF is a horror trend that I find somewhat... degenerate. What happens to old school movie making? With FFF its mostly shaky cam, characters screaming into the camera, blink and miss horror moments... Generally very few movies make most of the premise and most of them just end up being really cheep.

That movie is fucking horrible, literally nothing happens until the last twenty minutes. No hint of things going wrong, no chance encounters with whatever's out there, just a whole lot of fucking nothing.

Don't you mean August Underground, anon?

Yeah, they did a good job with the general troll mythology.

Man Bites Dog and Street Thief are cool, do mockumentaries count as found footage?

>>70383303
Is that the one where he stabs a lady in the gut then fucks the wound? And they find a dead baby? I remember cringing HARD at the scissors scene.
>>
>>70383371
>August Underground
Yeah that one and the sequel. I could take my eyes away so fucked up
>>
>>70382688

Is this copypasta or did you watch all of these? I may do a similar list for Italian horror soon.
>>
>>70383581
This is nothing but filth. Found footage is about atmosphere, immersion, dread, and attempting to make things as real as possible.

Oh! I actually forgot about this! Great movie

Lake Mungo is completely different from any other ff, or even any horror.
>>
Lake Mungo isn't even found footage.
>>
>>70397631

Completely different doesn't automatically mean good. Why is it good?
>>
>>70397725
You probably won't believe me, or think I'm dodging the question, but I'm not interested in explaining again in another lengthy post(s) why something, in the case Lake Mungo, is good or great. The rewards are usually very little, people just meme, shitpost or don't reply back.
It should be self-evident in the watching itself, anyways.

thoughts on Creep?

>>
>>70397711
This. It bugs me when movies start out as found footage but by the third act they just drop the pretense and film it normally, as if they expect the audience not to notice or care.
>>
>>70399612
>Nothing fucking happens.
Except for the things that happen throughout it
>>
>>70399616
Lel no it doesn't. And I like that segment and V/H/S 2 as a whole, but it's just an okay film
>>
>>70399705
The boring characters nobody can possibly care about die off one by one and then there's a squid monster. No drama. No tension. No real action. Nothing to care about. Boring as fuck.
>>
>>70399666
That's very much not the case with Lake Mungo, but I know what you're talking and it's pretty jarring, like with The Sacrament. Such a disappointment from Ti West.
>>
>>70382369
Still amazing how good the trolls look for such a small budget film.
>>
>>70399805
Cunt, I haven't seen it yet
>>
Occult,Shirome and Cult from Koji Shiraishi are reasonably good,very minimalistic though.
Shiraishi is the director of Noroi

Occult is easily the best of the bunch,Cult has one of the most annoying characters ever which spoils the movie,Shirome has a idol group as a main characters,really annoying too,otherwise they are solid.

you can find all of them in Youtube
>>
>>70397631
Because of the unintentional humour? Not even the same guy, but serious it's the most underwhelming thing especially after all the hype. The big reveal is nice but doesn't make up for the rest of the movie
>>
>>70400616
There's not any unintentional humour. And people that praise it so highly, certainly aren't doing so because of the 'big reveal', twist, or jump scare. The whole movie, with uncommon coherence, achieves things that the rest of the pack- of found footage or not-, doesn't come close to do.
It is a horror film and FF, but it's very much, and possibly mainly, a drama. It's little surprise the rejection of so many 'horror buffs' to a film like that.
>>
>>70397427
>X-cops, which was an x files episode.

I loved that one. So fucking good.
>>
>>70400910
blame it on the on the actors maybe, but there is a lot of unintentional humour to me that just spoils the whole drama part. Made the fake documentary feel very silly for some unlike Blair witch project for example.
>>
>>70402369
I didnt see any major problems with it
>>
>>70399877
>Occult,Shirome and Cult

shirome sucked
