Fear Footage (2018) is certainly not the kind of movie you'd expect to get a sequel. I stand by this due to its budget, its obscurity and that it was 17 shades of terrible. Easily the worst movie of that year it was a cringe worthy attempt at a horror that had me wincing face palming and angry that I'd given it my time. For some reason I gave this second attempt a try and once again I'm angry that I did and even more angry at the creators for thinking this constitutes as a horror movie. Badly made, badly written, badly acted, there really is no excuse for this. For the love of everything that's good in the world lets not see a third part.

The Fear Footage is a very amateurishly made found footage horror movie with overzealous creators who are pushing this thing harder than the second coming of Christ. Set over several stories as anthology's tend to do it's a very shoddy looking movie even for the genre which are notorious for looking like they were filmed by a 10yr old with an old 80's VHS camera.

The ocean of positive reviews on here are shameful and blatant, even the wording is the same. Two reviews both had the same title, two reviews have the directors name in the profile name, several all use the same terminology. It's sad people feel the need to do this but considering the quality of the movie I suppose they felt that not doing so would leave the movie vulnerable to a very low rating.

I've seen worse than the Fear Footage, in fact I've seen a lot worse but then again I watch a lot of movies now I'm retired. My advice to the creators in relation to the movie would be don't give up if this is your dream but maybe film school beckons? And in relation to the reviews and marketing, it looks desperate and is an insult to peoples intelligences.

If you are after a good found footage there is an abundance of them out there but this obscure odd little independent movie isn't one of them. I give it 2/10 for effort.

The Matrix came out and it became the latest "In" movie and justifiably so. Its exciting, it has a fantastic memorable storyline and the special effects were revolution but......why cast Keanu.

Fine the ladies dig him but nobody for a second believes that this dude can act so why cast him in such a role, Seagal could have done a better job and he is officially an oak tree.

Wooden acting on the leads behalf aside the performances are solid, especially that of Agent Smith who steals the entire film.

Sadly years later when you look at the film it hasn't really aged well, partially I'm sure due to the overwhelming hype that it received and partially because now people are asking the very same question I asked above.....why Keanu? Overall I cant deny The Matrix is a very memorable film that broke boundaries and has created more spoofs than any other. So check it out if you haven't already, alas the sequels do not live up to this but as a stand alone movie The Matrix is a tour de force of excitement and originality.
