    I HATE These Blasted Found Footage Movies!

    I don't know about you lot, but I hate these blasted, boring found footage movies. Ever since I first watched Cloverfield and Paranormal activity, I became instantly averse to them. I thought they would be just a passing fad, but it seems even more of them are being churned out. If the subject of these interminable movies isn't about paranormal investigators filming in a looney bin, it's about explorers capturing a monster on tape.

    Please, please, all you producers, do NOT make any more of these movies. They are just rubbish. Period.

    I dislike them aswell.
    The Lost Coast Tapes wasn't that bad though.

    I'm not the biggest fan of them either. Only a few of them I liked.

    There are a few good ones

    -The Tunnel was really good
    -Grave Encounters has some CGI in it, but also really good
    -Lake Mungo has a creepy ass scene with a cell phone
    -Paranormal Activity I used to DESPISE, but to be honest, they aren't bad ghost flicks. Sure they are meant for noobs of the genre, but PA3 had some genuine creepy parts in it.

    I don't like the FF sub-genre either, but there are some decent gems in the bunch. Chronicle probably being my fav. from it.

    I like them if they are done right. It can be an interesting way to tell a story and the POV can bring a viewer in really quickly. But I will give you sometimes they are just nauseating.

    Blame "Blair witch project" or even the many people that go to thetaers to watch found footage movies (and of course lazy producers willing to make easy profits)

    I don't mind them, like any trend in the horror genre there are some terrific films within it (Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity series, [Rec], Chronicle, and Cloverfield). And there are some truly awful ones. I don't see how this is any different than the slasher trend after Scream, the crappy ghost movie knockoffs after The Ring remake, or all of the torture porn movies (which is by far the worst of any horror trend) that came after Saw and Hostel. It's becoming a tired sub-genre for sure, but I'm always interested in seeing how someone can innovate the style. Better this than torture porn...

    I don't like them either. A few have been good, but I tend to avoid them.

    the tcm remake using "found" footage was not necessary, but didn't destroy the film for me. With that said i can see how they are annoying and am pretty torn on the issue. i'd need to see better support evidence from the POV/found footage camp before i made a final decision.

    I can go both ways on these flicks as well. I just seen Paranormal Activity 3 recently and it was pretty intense I thought. As i'm reading this topic, Apollo 18 is on tv. I guess i'll have a more concrete answer when it's over

    I like faux Snuff Films but that is about it. But in saying that if a film has merit I will watch it. But for the most part the found footage genre is pretty mediocre.

    yes I'm quite sick of this shit aswell.. I'm all for real life shock videos (as I assumed many would draw the comparison)
    But this shit isn't scary, it isn't fun, it isn't entertaining.. it just sucks (the majority atleast)
