Fite me

Not horror, but very sci-fi /x/.

Lunopolis. Must see for all here.
>>
>>17836987

found footage is god tier, feels much more realistic
>>
>>17836359

Just watched Lake Mungo and I couldn't fucking stand it. A bunch on nonsense and the music was way too fucking loud and couldn't hear the dialog half the time, kept having to fuck with the damn volume.
>>
Willow Creek is highly recommended. Great fucking atmosphere.
>>
>>17836359
>the Poughkeepsie Tapes were really good ones that caught my eye
>the Poughkeepsie Tapes were really good ones
>the Poughkeepsie Tapes
>good

No. The Poughkeepsie Tapes were one of THE worst found footage movies I've ever seen, that shit was just beyond bad. No recommendations for your shit taste, sir.

Fuck outta my thread home skillet biscuit.
>>
>>17839748
Get a decent speaker setup pleb

>Lake Mungo was a good movie

This meme needs to end.
>>
Not exactly found footage, but the Last Broadcast may be of interest to you. I really enjoyed it.
>>
>>17839993
I've seen it already,but thanks for the suggestion.
>>17839992
>The suspension and atmosphere was nice.
>>
The Bay was pretty decent
>>
>>17840062
Yea,I saw it too,it was nice.
>>
>>17836516
I recommend not watching Creep. It was bad and Mark Duplass is ugly.
>>
VHS is really good
>>
>>17836516
>>17840083
>>17836488
>Creep

Creep wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. And it was never scary. Not once.
>>
The Houses That October Built is nice, nothing special, but its good

JeruZalem is cheesy af, but fun in a B-movie kinda way

Digging Up The Narrow is awesome, it manages to be spoopy and a parody at the same time, also, no cgi at all
>>
>>17840062
The Bay was good. That reporter had a huge ass mm
>>
>>17841223
>I fucking hate you because I thought the same thin throughout the movie.
>>
>>17836488
Here's my reviews and a synopsis:

>Home Movie
>Synopsis: A priest and a child psychologist record home movies with their freaky kids.

Very predictable, and the adults all seem pretty stupid. Don't spend money on it, while I don't regret watching it, I wouldn't watch it again.

>Troll Hunter
>Synopsis: A college film student crew goes out to try and find a bear poacher, he doesn't hunt bears.

A++ in both realistic found footage and in quality. Has a bit of Bro Science in it, and some of the CGI is kinda fake looking, but is otherwise very good. The one caveat I would mention is that it is not really a horror movie. Would recommend, would watch again, would buy if I ever actually watched DVD/Blu-Rays.

>Willow Creek
Have not Seen

>Banshee Chapter
Have not Seen

>Afflicted
Have not Seen

>Borderlands
Have not Seen

>The Bay
>Synopsis: Don't drink the water

Pretty good movie. The reveal is pretty Bro Science if you are put off by that sort of thing, but otherwise it's pretty solid. Some good spoops, reasonably immersive. Might buy, would watch again.

>Europa Report.
>Synopsis: The first manned mission to Europa in search of life runs into many issues along the way.

A+++ . No jump scares or anything like that, but very atmospheric throughout. An extremely realistic scifi, besides the central premise (Why send a manned crew to Europa instead of just drones???). Quiet for a lot of it, and most of the horror is psychological. A cross between psychological horror and science thriller. Very good. Would recommend, have watched multiple times, would buy.

>Creep
>Synopsis: Man answers ad for freelance cameraman out in the middle of nowhere, makes a labyrinth of bad decisions.
It's kinda bland for the most of it, and if you're the sort of person who hells at idiots in horror movies, you'll be yelling a lot in this one. The main character is a huge idiot and absolutely cannot read the mood. He makes one good decision in the entire movie. Wouldn't watch again.
>>
>>17839218
>any movie
>realistic
wew lad
>>
>>17839775
it was pathetically boring, couldn't get to the half of it without nodding off
>>
>southbound
>baskin
not found footage, but good mindfuckery instead
>>
I love the genre and I think I've seen 99% of all found footage films. It would be 100% but I still have Southbound to watch, maybe tonight or tomorrow. I know that sounds obnoxious but no matter how much searching I do it's always "seen it, seen it, seen it."

There have been some good suggestions here, as well as some horrible. Not all my suggestions are horror.

The best ever has to be Lunopolis. Yes I'm samefag
>>17837916
but I can't stress enough how fucking fantastic this is, it stands out above all other found footage films for me.
Close second would be the V/H/S trilogy. It gets a lot of hate for some reason but I really enjoyed them for the most part. Segments to watch out for would be A Ride in the Park, Safe Haven, Dante the Great and Parallel Monsters.

One's I enjoyed a great deal;
>Troll Hunter (very unique)
>The Borderlands (weird unexpected finale)
>Afflicted (good effects, action scenes)
>The Bay (Nice pacing, interesting concept)
>Europa Report (weirdly believable)
>Digging Up the Marrow (just plain weird, good actor)
>Devil's Pass (obvious)
>Frankenstein's Army (hilarious)
>End of Watch (apart from the ending)
>Man Bites Dog (old but gold)
>Rec 1+2 (got me into found footage)

Ones to avoid would be;
>Home Movie (boring, predictable, tame)
>Lake Mungo (seriously pathetic, boring)
>The Gallows (fuck this)
>The Dinosaur Project (sorry excuse)
>The Visit (pathetic effort)
>Quarantine (fucking why?)

Everything else falls somewhere in between, or was so unremarkable I forgot about it immediately after watching.
>>
Here's my asian taste (since i'm not terrified by western 'horror' movie)
