YouTube is an interesting space for found footage. It’s a fantastic place to find, and post, short films and is absolutely FULL of FF shorts. The site has also become a really interesting option for posting full features. Once upon a time you put these films either from a studio or you and your friends… Continue reading THE MITCHIN MURDERS – found footage review

Reviews of found footage films.
VISHER – found-ish footage review
OK, this movie breaks the rules. I found it on YouTube and it claims to be found footage, but isn’t. It’s SORTA found footage. It uses a LOT of found footage, but also has shots of an actor that wouldn’t make sense to have a camera on him. It’s an angle that COULD be like… Continue reading VISHER – found-ish footage review
BEYOND THE NORTH WOODS – found footage review
As I have mentioned before, it's interesting to note the trends in found footage. To see what gets popular because it reflects where the culture is at that moment. At this moment influencers and digital content producers are the catch of the day. It makes sense because they are, well, influencing the culture and how… Continue reading BEYOND THE NORTH WOODS – found footage review
#MISSINGCOUPLE – found footage review
The post discusses the film "#MISSINGCOUPLE," focusing on a young couple and their dog as they explore their new property while filming their adventures. The narrative blends reality and mystery with engaging performances, though it raises questions about found footage and narrative reliability. Despite some unresolved mysteries, it remains entertaining and thought-provoking.
NAME THE DEMON – found footage review
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
