A true found footage masterpiece, no one can question the impact The Blair Witch Project has had on the subgenre. It cemented a formula that is instilled to this day and has inspired several rip-offs and spoofs. Its magnificent marketing campaign listed the three leads – Heather Donahue, Michael Williams, and Joshua Leonard– as missing, and staged police reports were posted to the movie’s official website, which reported on their disappearance. The actors did not appear on any talk shows or p...

In the years following The Blair Witch Project, numerous found footage horrors blatantly ripped it off. Up until 2005, there were few memorable additions to the subgenre, but Japanese filmmaker Kōji Shiraishi came along and shook up the formula to create Noroi: The Curse, a two-hour piece of unfiltered terror, unlike anything the subgenre has offered before or since. Inspired by Japanese folktales and urban legends, this carefully crafted gem explores the dark work of the malevolent demon, Ka...
Directed by Dom Rotheroe
Dom Rotheroe’s overlooked British psychological thriller, Exhibit A, examines the real-life horror of abuse hidden behind the doors of a seemingly ordinary family. Judith (Brittany Ashworth) is a troubled young teenager who uses her new video camera as a way of coping with her anxiety. Character development is not necessarily a process that is well-regarded in these types of movies, but the way Judith uses the camera tells us so much about her. It is as if the film lets its audience inside he...

One of the most profitable movies of all time, Paranormal Activity went on to spawn seven sequels with an eighth set to be released next year. The original is still a favorite amongst fans, and it re-popularized found footage horror movies a decade after The Blair WItch Project. It shows footage from an apparent haunting of a young couple’s (Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat) house after they decide to try and catch the presence on camera. The movie’s simplicity is what makes it so horrifying...

REC is a Spanish found footage horror movie about a TV reporter (Manuela Velasco) and her crew who end up quarantined in an apartment building when a mysterious infection breaks out among the residents. It features some of the most nerve-shattering sequences the subgenre has ever seen as chaos breaks out. Running at a brisk 78 minutes, the movie is a white-knuckle thrill ride that is as exhausting as it is terrifying. Directing duo Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza manage to capture the mass hys...

Documentarians follow police as they raid a home in Poughkeepsie, New York, where they find 800 videotapes belonging to serial killer Edward Carver, the “Water Street Butcher” (Ben Messmer). The tapes document the killer’s handiwork, from the point his victim is abducted to the mutilations of the body after death. Frustratingly, Carver is never seen on film without a disguise as he carries out his depraved crimes, which include abducting, raping, and murdering an eight-year-old girl, and plac...

Australian horror mockumentary Lake Mungo shows the possibilities within the found footage subgenre. Shot documentary-style complete with archive footage and interviews, the movie presents a fully convincing story of the tragic death of Alice Palmer (Talia Zucker). It appears that she has drowned accidentally, but there are suggestions that there is more to her death than first appears. Distinctly lacking in cheap scares, the dialogue-heavy movie manages to create an unsettling tone, and its...

The Cloverfield marketing campaign stands as one of Hollywood’s best, one that started as a teaser trailer attached to 2007’s Transformers. No title, no explanations, just footage from a hand-held camera filming a house party. When it becomes evident that something chaotic is happening outside, the partygoers, and the anonymous filmmaker, head to the street, only to find a head hitting the street — the head of the Statue of Liberty. The trailer cuts away to show the release date, and that’s i...

Filmmakers Iris (Iris Bahr) and Daniel (Adam Grimes) are making a documentary with the aim of exposing exorcism as a fraud. They find a willing participant in Reverend Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian), who hails from a long family line of exorcists, but has long given up on believing possession is real. The only exorcisms he performs are fake ones that he sets up on those who believe they are possessed. He agrees to perform one of his “exorcisms” for the documentary and randomly chooses a reque...

So many found footage horrors take inspiration from reality ghost-hunting TV shows such as Ghost Adventures or Most Haunted, but Grave Encounters is perhaps the finest of them all. It was one of the first of its kind, and it employed many different methods that the found footage genre had not seen before. Where so many of the scares are often about subtlety, Grave Encounters is invasive and loud. Demons and spirits burst out of the darkness and throw themselves in full view of the camera, and...
