    Default "Found Footage" Horror Movies

    Just got done watching Grave Encounters and I think I like these found footage style movies, they can be a bit of a bore in the build up but usually end up being pretty fun to watch. Does anyone know of any other movies like this I might not have seen?

    I'll list the ones I have seen:


    Paranormal Activity
    REC
    Blair Witch
    V/H/S 1 & 2
    The Tunnel (this one was awesome.)
    Grave Encounters
    The Last Exorcism
    Apollo 18
    Cloverfield


    What have you got for me, OnRPG?

    I just finished watching "Europa Report" just a few minutes ago. To be completely frank, I didn't really finish it, but rather it finished with me doing some other shit meanwhile, because it really isn't as fun as Apollo 18 was.

    Also there is Moon which is good and goes into the direction because it's so focused on one dude, but it's not really within the found footage paradigm.

    @OooRangee:
    I know right? Even cloud atlas had such long moments of it being totally cliche..
    When I find a good movie it's usually old. Movies nowadays are just loosing in comparison with TV series. It's not even because it's impossible to make great movies, they are just not being made.

    Cloverfield

    I always call these movies "documentary" style.

    Somebody else recommended Moon to me last weekend after I told them I'd just watched Oblivion. Apparently they're very similar, I'll have to check it out.

    Moon isn't found footage but it's amazing regardless.

    The Poughkeepsie Tapes is really creepy. Think you'd dig that.

    I love these kinds of movies and I find it weird that a majority of people complain about the "shaky cam."

    just got done watching Noroi. I found it a bit long winded, could have done with being about 30 minutes shorter in my opinion, but it made up for it toward the end.

    now for the powkepiskykeepsyblabla tapes.

    i didn't like any found footage movies. i stopped blair witch about 5 minute sin. I endured cloverfield painfully and dearly pray that the next one has a steadycam.

    all that bouncing footage gives me a headache :-(

    The only part of that which made me want to look away was the part in the motel when the guy is in bed and she... yeah I won't spoil it. But that did make me cringe a bit.
