The Found Footage Phenomenon

Have to admit I didn't know there was a documentary being made about my favourite sub-genre of all time so was pleasantly surprised when I seen this pop up on Shudder. It has most of the main people from the right movies in it, especially the guys from "The Last Broadcast" and "Ghostwatch". I think that this documentary could actually work as a real eye-opener for horror fans who have issues with Found Footage and how misunderstood it can be. Most of these movies ,(taking out a few like Cloverfield, End of Watch, As Above, So Below), are worked on by people who have a story to tell but don't have the money to do a "real" movie. That's one of the things I love about FF. The followers don't judge a movie by its looks, but by how good the story is, and isn't that the main thing? Surely everyone who watches movies are after entertainment, if not then why? And that's the real beauty of it. Sure I'll admit that 95 out of 100 are terrible and not just terrible to people who don't like FF, but everyone. The barrel needs to be scraped to find a good one, but when you do it's brilliant. Recent movies like Hell House LLC, Horror in the High Desert and Deadstream prove that there's still life in the old dog yet.

Highly recommended documentary!
