- DirectorsJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaStarsManuela VelascoFerran TerrazaJorge-Yamam SerranoA television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying.One of the better found footage movies; lots of excitement and scares.
- DirectorsJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaStarsJonathan D. MellorManuela VelascoÓscar ZafraIn order to ascertain the current situation inside, a supposed medical officer and a GEO team step into the quarantined and ill-fated apartment building.Continuation of the previous film; not quite as good but still rather enjoyable.
- DirectorPaco PlazaStarsLeticia DoleraDiego MartínIsmael MartínezA couple's wedding day turns horrific as some of the guests start showing signs of a strange illness.Only the first 15 minutes or so is "found footage," but I liked it better than the second one.
NOTE: The final film in the series; "REC 4: Apocalypse," has no found footage (aside from a couple of brief surveillance videos), but I liked it as well, and it wraps the series up nicely. - DirectorKarl MuellerStarsJon FosterSarah JonesMark StegerA young couple moves to the woods and soon finds their nightmares and reality colliding.Documentary-style, sort of a surreal nightmare. Interesting; not too bad.
- DirectorRichard RaaphorstStarsRobert GwilymHon Ping TangAlexander TerentyevIn the dying days of WWII, a battalion of Russian soldiers is lured into the secret lab of a deranged scientist and forced to face off against an army of horrific flesh-and-metal war machines.Neat concept, horrible execution, including the decision to make it a found footage movie. The writing is not good, either.
- DirectorRenny HarlinStarsHolly GossMatt StokoeLuke AlbrightA group of students go to the location of the infamous Dyatlov pass incident to make a documentary, but things take a turn for the worse as the secret of what happened there is revealed.Not too bad; kinda forgettable except for the unusual climactic sequence towards the end.
- DirectorAndré ØvredalStarsOtto JespersenRobert StoltenbergKnut NærumA group of students investigates a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.Not really horror; interesting faux-documentary action fantasy. Did not care for the ending, though.
- DirectorGrégory LevasseurStarsAshley HinshawJames BuckleyDenis O'HareAn archaeological team attempts to unlock the secrets of a lost pyramid only to find themselves hunted by an insidious creature.I LITERALLY FORGOT THAT THIS MOVIE EXISTED AND THAT I'D SEEN IT UNTIL I SAW IT IN ANOTHER IMDB LIST. That should tell you I just thought it was "meh," though I do remember it having a few cool moments.
- DirectorGiulio De SantiStarsRayner BourtonMichael HoweJessica CarrollAssigned the easy task of assassinating a couple in a hotel room, instead, a hardened contract killer finds himself fighting for his life in a maze-like place crammed with demonic henchmen. Can he escape from the nightmarish Hotel Inferno?POV; more like a video game you watch rather than a movie. Lots of gore, little plot. Only recommended for gore effects fans; otherwise, not very good.
- DirectorMatt ReevesStarsMike VogelJessica LucasLizzy CaplanA group of friends venture deep into the streets of New York on a rescue mission during a rampaging monster attack.Now THIS is how you do (big-budget) found footage. Very exciting and thrilling; I wish they'd make an actual sequel to this.
- DirectorSean StoneStarsSean StoneAlexander WraithElla LentiniThree aspiring filmmakers document inexplicable events in a "haunted" abandoned mental institution.The trailer is way better; the movie itself is confusing and makes almost no sense.
- DirectorDaniele GriecoStarsLiv Lisa FriesMatthias DietrichHenning NöhrenHoping to film paranormal activity, three friends break into an abandoned castle, where an evil presence soon hounds them into terror and madness.Rather slow-moving; the scenes with the night vision camera filming the main characters were rather creepy, though. The climax is rather abrupt.
- DirectorAbe RosenbergStarsMichel ChauvetAnna CettiMario EscalanteA group of amateur paranormal investigators enter an abandoned insane asylum to discover if the stories they have heard are actually true.Generic asylum found footage; some creepy bits but nothing too special.
- DirectorAdam RobitelStarsJill LarsonAnne RamsayMichelle AngAn elderly woman battling Alzheimer's disease agrees to let a film crew document her condition, but what they discover is something far more sinister going on.This one is a WILD RIDE. Recommended.
- DirectorJoel AndersonStarsRosie TraynorDavid PledgerMartin SharpeStrange things start happening after a girl is found drowned in a lake.Documentary-style. Interesting concept, but I haven't personally found it very memorable, except for a couple of moments.
- DirectorCarlo LedesmaStarsBel DeliáAndy RodoredaSteve DavisAn investigation into a government cover-up leads to a network of abandoned train tunnels deep beneath the heart of Sydney. As a journalist and her crew hunt for the story it quickly becomes clear the story is hunting them.Very enjoyable documentary-style found footage; takes a while for the scary stuff to start happening but the payoff is worth it. Apparently a sequel has been in development for a while; I'd like to see that.
- DirectorsMatt Bettinelli-OlpinDavid BrucknerTyler GillettStarsCalvin Lee ReederLane HughesAdam WingardWhen a group of misfits are hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house and acquire a rare VHS tape, they discover more found footage than they bargained for.None of the segments of this anthology (except maybe the last one) are actually scary, though they do have entertainment value.
- DirectorsJerami CruiseKilljoyMichael Todd SchneiderStarsCristie WhilesFred VogelMichael Todd SchneiderTwo friends bring along a newcomer to go on a killing spree.18+ ONLY! Disturbing and disgusting faux-snuff film in the style of home videos shot by three people who are so bizarre and gross that it borders on parody. Very amateur-ish and frequently annoying, but feel free to watch if you're interested in that sort of thing.
- DirectorMariano CattaneoStarsAndrés BorghiPaula CarruegaDany CascoA worker killed 16 of his colleagues before killing himself. A few years later, a journalist, her cameraman, a priest, a young believer and a crime specialist were hired to make a documentary and a reconstruction of the events of this caseSimilar to [Rec] but not as good and a lot simpler. Still creepy; camera and lighting aren't good but still entertaining for one watch at least.
- DirectorAislinn ClarkeStarsLalor RoddyCiaran FlynnHelena BereenIn the fall of 1960, Father Thomas Riley and Father John Thornton were sent by the Vatican to investigate a miraculous event in an Irish home for 'fallen women', only to uncover something much more horrific.Interesting enough concept for a found footage movie, but ultimately falls flat; was expecting something more complex given the premise.
- DirectorFabien DelageStarsDoug RandPhilip SchurerGala BessonTwo journalists investigate mysterious cattle mutilations near French-Swiss border for TV. Scientific team they planned to meet vanished upon arrival. Focuses on their search for missing researchers and unraveling the strange events.I went in thinking this was a virus movie, but it turned out to be a creature movie :/
Pretty decent overall, but please tell me how a '70s camera + film would survive sitting in the ALPS for 40 YEARS?? - DirectorDean Matthew RonaldsStarsTom MalloyChristopher BannowGriffin MatthewsWhen an internet company decides to investigate a series of 'Screamer' videos, they are confronted with havoc and hell they could never expect.This is a very cool concept for a found footage movie. However, ALL this excellently-crafted detail and buildup leads to an uninspired, borderline nonsensical climax.
- DirectorStephen CognettiStarsGore AbramsAlice BahlkeDanny BelliniFive years after an unexplained malfunction causes the death of 15 tour-goers and staff on the opening night of a Halloween haunted house tour, a documentary crew travels back to the scene of the tragedy to find out what really happened.I thought this one was good at building dread, especially with how narrow the hallways were.
- DirectorStephen CognettiStarsVas EliJillian GeurtsJoy ShatzTwo years after escaping from demonic terror, a young woman is still haunted by unnatural visions.Has more fast-paced thrills than the first one! Though only a few minutes shorter, it seemed to fly by.
- DirectorStephen CognettiStarsGabriel ChytryElizabeth VermilyeaSam KazziThe Abaddon Hotel will once again be open to the public. Russell Wynn has taken his audience-interactive show, Insomnia, into the abandoned hotel that is rumored to be haunted.This time the hotel has been renovated! A satisfying end to the trilogy.
