My gf tells just about everyone she ever meets about Lake Mungo. It was /tv/ that introduced me to it so thanks guys. Sometimes you're alright.

I think Blair Witch is still my favourite. Perfect setup, pacing, length. I don't care if that's a stock answer.

Paranormal Activity 3 was excellent as well.

>>85841993
>Lake Mungo

That is actually pretty good and a litmus test for plebs. Anybody who doesn't like it is usually a complete moron.

It's not a perfect film and it could have done more, but it was very effective.

You should try this one if you want another foundkino.

>>85842324

Thanks, man - will add it to the list

>>85842050

>It's not a perfect...very effective.

Couldn't have said it better

>>85841936
Overrated except for a few shorts.

>>85841940
OK but also overrated.

>>85843559

How informative and useful.

Want to throw in some stuff you DID like?

wasn't this a great premise but really crap in the end?

>>85843729
I'd say apart from one or two scenes its pretty much one of the most underrated horror movies ever

>>85841936
The succubus short was the only good one out of either.

Grave Encounters is the only good one.

>>85842324
It was pretty solid but I wasn't a fan of the ending

>>85843782
Which scenes didn't you like?

>>85843928
Grave Encounters was great. I love the premise for that as well

>>85844340

Bit harsh on The Bay there - I thought it was quite effective just needed to be a 40 min short

>>85844340
>Blair Witch
>5/5

I never understood the love for this. It's mostly people arguing in the forest, with something "scary" happening once every 15 minutes or so.

when she hugs her father and he just fucking fades out. Thats pretty much the only one I can remember off the top of my head. Overall I loved it though.

>>85844531
Thats what made it feel realistic, not just another cliched horror where someone is due to die every now and then.

>>85843913
wrong. the cult one is also good.

I saw two found footage movies recently, Area 51 and Atrocious which is Spanish. Anybody else seen either of them? Honestly neither are very good.

>>85844664
I agree, that scene was pretty weak. Speaking of her father, I wish we had gotten more footage with him in that cave at the start.

What are some found footage tropes you hate?

>Camera falls onto the ground at some point
>Camera cuts off when something interesting is about to happen and resumes when nothing is happening

>>85844531
sorry but you're a pleb for not liking this. its pretty close to what would happen IRL.

The Pyramid is literally one of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever seen. How the fuck do you rate it 4/5?

>>85844340
>>Megan Is Missing
>4/5

No. 3/5 and that's mostly due to the ending.

>The Bay
>1/5

No. 3/5 at least.

>The Pyramid
>4/5

lol what no. 2/5.

>>85844755
yes

Check out The Dirties and Zero Day.

Both about school shootings.

>>85844628
Haven't seen it.

>>85844599
>>85844668
The V/H/S movies should really just be separated into their component shorts for rating purposes since the quality jumped up and down a lot. On average though, most of the shorts were not worth watching.

>>85844531
Blair Witch helped create the genre. Despite this, it also managed to avoid tons of horror cliches. I actually saw it after watching two dozen or so found footage horror flicks and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.

>>85844776
>The Bay
>3/5
It was barely a step above an Asylum film. The only good thing to come out of that movie was the .gif of the bug running along that guy's arm that everyone here thought was real for the longest time.

>>85844531
It's the only movie in this thread that doesn't have a shitty jump scare

[REC] is one of my favorite found footage movies, but it has a ton of jump scares.

>>85844755
Probably one of my favorite horror movies. Koji's later film Occult is also a GOAT found footage film

>not mentioning

>Ghostwatch
>Hellhouse LLC
>UFO Abduction (1989)

There's like 700 found footage films but you keep mentioning the same 15.

>>85844758
the pyramid is fun

fun!

If you're actually enjoying watching FF movies then you should probably kill yourself.

>>85844755
probably in the top 5

>>85844848
>The Dirties and Zero Day.

those were actually good, yes. zero day was...weird.

>>85844340
>grave encounters and the pyramid
mah nigga
>blair witch
but this one was overrated shit

Also no one mentioned necropolis? it was kino.

>>85845145
you probably watch capeshit so kys instead

>>85844058

You gotta love how batshit insane the ending is. One of those ones where you have to go back and rewatch it to confirm what you just saw.

At least we can agree the gracefield incident is a 0/5?

>>85845092

Occult's ending kinda spoilt it. Had the potential to be disturbing as fuck but it's just funny.

The most batshit ending to a found footage movie I have ever seen is this one. It's like they made the movie just to show that roller coaster ending.

>>85845636
Yes. Canadians are retarded.

>>85845605
It triggers me because while the build up is good, I find the transition from its haunted to holy shit there's a ancient evil worm god underneath the church was so abrupt and crazy, and it broke one of my hard rules for found footage: It needs to make sense how the footage was found.

>>85845673
I actually found the funny way it plays the ending off, with the sudden cut to unfitting music, to make it a little more disturbing. It's such a bizarre ending and interpretation.

I remember this movie really scary when I saw it, the film was aired in a public access channel in my country when I was in elementary school and practically all my classmates watched it.
It was quite the hot discussion topic back in the day when it was broadcast.

>>85845817
>it broke one of my hard rules for found footage: It needs to make sense how the footage was found.

footage was being wirelessly relayed to the base station in the church. they even explicitly put a wireless relay on the way...

pay more attention, dude.

>>85845817

Found out the Occult/Noroi director did The Ring vs The Grudge. Wasn't especially scary but it was plenty fun and shows he can actually handle having a budget.

>>85845886
That's my fuck up then.

>>85846003
He tends to do humorous shit or tortureporn. Cult is a nice found footage by him that mixes humor with spooks.

>>85842324
The ending alone is worth it

"You said it wasn't real"
"It's moviiing"

>>85847034
yeah it was pretty nice. this thread needs to see more FF movies though.

I'd have to go with The Shining.

>>85847479
stop it anon

>>85843729
Dunno about general consensus but that's exactly how I felt about it. I love reality bending horror, or whatever you call it. Grave Encounters was great in this regard.

The Fourth Kind was scary as fuck.

>>85848566
not really

I thought that it was pointless to make it found footage, but I didn't think the movie was worth hating.

>>85850770
>>85850803
I hate that it was /ff/

I like the movie itself

>>85844670
i liked the aesthetic of the base in area 51. it looked just about how i imagined it

>>85845690
can you say what the movie is about and what the ending is? dont see a summary online

>>85850770
He's the son of the guy who was decapitated on the set of Twilight Zone. It's been over three decades, get over it, faggot.
