The supernatural is a tried and true topic for found footage films and horror movies, and with reason. It is our fear of not just our physical selves but our metaphysical selves that keeps many of us awake at night. The fear that not only could something happen to our body, but also to our… Continue reading NAME THE DEMON – found footage review

MILK & SERIAL – found footage review
It’s so interesting seeing how influencer culture has become such a prevalent part of found footage. It makes sense in that it has become such a huge part of modern American society. People wanting others to see their lives, acknowledge their lives, and follow their lives. Needing to be seen and wanting to turn our… Continue reading MILK & SERIAL – found footage review
LIFE OF BELLE – found footage review
I find it hard to wrap my head around parents today. On one hand, they fret and worry over ‘predators’ and ‘grooming’ and want to safeguard their kids from the world all while they create social media accounts for them so they can be ‘influencers’ and followed by strangers. It’s weird. On one hand it… Continue reading LIFE OF BELLE – found footage review
RATTER – found footage review
There is something wholly insidious about how humans have found ways to weaponize every last thing we rely on to reach out into the world. As technology has evolved, so too have abusers and stalkers, and with a strong online support system of like-minded sickos, it’s become a scary time for a lot of people.… Continue reading RATTER – found footage review
THE COHASSET SNUFF FILM – found footage review
This feels like another of those films that people will stumble across wondering…is this real? No, it’s not. That should be clear if you watch it but, if you happen upon it blindly and aren’t certain then your pal Spooky Chris is here to tell you to rest easy. It’s only a film. It’s only… Continue reading THE COHASSET SNUFF FILM – found footage review
WE FOUND SOMETHING – found footage review
As someone who has made short films before I have a ton of respect for anyone that gets their film made. ESPECIALLY on the deep-indie level. My first short I lost a chunk of my cast after shooting about half of the movie. I had a long moment where I wanted to hang it up… Continue reading WE FOUND SOMETHING – found footage review
AUDITION – found footage review
Before I start, just so we're clear - this is a movie. This is not real. There is no serial killer filming victims and these are those tapes. Let me break it down. No family would agree for that sort of footage to be released. Could the killer release it online? Sure, but it'd be… Continue reading AUDITION – found footage review
THE LOST VLOG OF RUBY REAL – found footage review
Man, if someone hadn't invented woods there'd never have been found footage movies. That's my biggest revelation at the end of 2023. Think of it, from BLAIR WITCH on there have been dozens of found footage films made in, around, and about the woods. Those big old spooky places are just too fertile for creepy… Continue reading THE LOST VLOG OF RUBY REAL – found footage review
V/H/S ‘85 – found footage review
I have to say, there is something brilliant about the V/H/S brand and it’s that even when there’s an entry that’s a bit of a clunker - and only one or two have been outright dogs - they can win you back with the next one. It takes some new ideas, new directors (or returning),… Continue reading V/H/S ‘85 – found footage review
EMBEDDED – found footage review
It really is interesting to note trends in found footage. There are some well trodden themes and locations and EMBEDDED hits on two of them - the woods and cryptids. I get it, found footage has certain parameters that can feel a bit like a cage, I'd imagine, and shooting a movie in the woods… Continue reading EMBEDDED – found footage review
THE OUTWATERS – found footage review
If I have ever learned anything from found footage it's never to go on an excursion with friends. It never goes well. Like, at least don't film it. Maybe that's the key. Yeah, DO NOT FILM YOUR VACATION! That's just courting disaster. I gotta be honest with you...I can't quite tell you what THE OUTWATERS… Continue reading THE OUTWATERS – found footage review
V/H/S/ 99 – found footage review
I have been a fan of the VHS found footage series since it first hit the scene. The concept is amazing - found video cassette tapes with footage of horrific events on them - even if the films didn't really fully take advantage of the conceit. Each of the films has been a mixed bag… Continue reading V/H/S/ 99 – found footage review
THE MIRROR – found footage review
You know me by now. I love found footage. It’s a fascinating subgenre that embraces everything from big budget studio fare to movies made by friends on a weekend. It’s a type of movie that allows you to make the scariest movies seen if you have the right idea and the passion. That’s pretty cool. … Continue reading THE MIRROR – found footage review
