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
Staying On Script
Life is strange, and wonderful, and mostly strange. Allow me to regale you with a tale. So a couple weeks ago I reviewed a found-footage movie about an influencer couple disappearing after they bought some property in the boonies. The movie covers their story as well as that of someone investigating what happened to them.… Continue reading Staying On Script

THEY ARE WATCHING – “found footage” review
In the title I have found footage in quotes because this isn’t QUITE found footage. It’s one of those movies that frustrate me to no end, the ones that have one foot in found footage and another in more traditional filmmaking techniques. There’s nothing wrong with mixing techniques and styles. At all. It’s not that. … Continue reading THEY ARE WATCHING – “found footage” review

NAME THE DEMON – found footage review
The supernatural is a tried and true topic for found footage films and horror movies, and with reason.

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
TAHOE JOE 2 – The Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Conspiracy – found footage review
As I have said before, one of the great things about found footage films is that it isn’t about the budget, it’s about the ambition. If you are committed to the story and have some ingenuity you can pull off almost anything. Saying that, you still need to put the work in. With the first… Continue reading TAHOE JOE 2 – The Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Conspiracy – found footage review
THE ESSEX BOYS TAPES – found footage
Well, this is a nice change of pace - a found-footage crime film. I have seen them before, but they are pretty few a far between. There’s more chance of a profit from a horror film, as horror geeks will just about watch anything. I have to admit though that making a drama, or a… Continue reading THE ESSEX BOYS TAPES – found footage
