Movie: The St. Francisville Experiment (2000)

Movie: The St. Francisville Experiment (2000) Okay. You know how I wrote about The Blair Witch Project (1999) being an "early bringer" of the Found Footage genre? Well, so is The St. Francisville Experiment . It was released a year later, but not to theatres and hype and a scintillating website like Blair Witch. It went straight to VHS/DVD, which explains its relative obscurity. The St. Francisville Experiment opens with a producer outlining the experiment: four non-professionals are…

Movie: Found Footage 3D (2016)

Movie: Found Footage 3D (2016) I never hear about this one. Found Footage 3D, it's on Shudder. The premise will resonate with some of you! A group of filmmakers want to go to a remote house in the woods to make a found footage movie, but they don't want it to be same-old same-old. So one of them gets the idea to shoot it on 3D cameras, and procures a few. On Shudder it's not 3D, but I understand from a friend of mine you can get it in 3D. 3D aside, it's …

Movie: Exists (2015)

Movie: Exists (2015) I randomly chose Exists from the Found Footage menu on Tubi without realizing that it’s a Bigfoot movie. It came out in 2015. It’s no award-winner, but I actually liked it! Therefore I was surprised to find it so thoroughly panned online (Rotten Tomators, IMDB). The consensus seems to be dumb, annoying characters badly acted, question about why it was even done as FF (no reason for a camera in the hands a character), and poor writing and d…

Movie: Evidence (2013)

Movie: Evidence (2013) This was a surprise! I just watched Evidence (2013) on Tubi. Don't confuse it with the 2012 movie of the same name. In this one, two detectives watch three hours of footage found at a crime scene on four different cameras. The Nevada desert crime scene is gory, and there are two survivors. It's kinda cheating to place Evidence in the Found Footage genre, because it's only when they're watching the videos that it's FF. But we …

Movie: The Mansfield Ghost (2022)

Movie: The Mansfield Ghost (2022) Well. Where to start with The Mansfield Ghost. I must say that I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The build-up was very compelling indeed. Lilly has 100,000 Followers and wants more, so she’s branching out from makeup tutorials to ghost hunting . She gets paid to stay in a “haunted” house. She streams video at the house, for three days leading up to Halloween. The videos are entertaining enough I guess, and when I said “compelling” I m…

Movies: Dashcam (2021)

Movies: Dashcam (2021) Oh my God, can we discuss Dashcam? This one takes place during the pandemic. Annie Hardy takes a trip from LA to London to visit her old bandmate. What follows I can't even explain. Except to say that Annie is the world's second biggest asshole. She's a Trumper, first of all. Red hat and all. She is a pandemic denier, won't wear a mask. She even steals her friend's car! All that being said...despite hating the protagon…
