    My Thursday is only ready to start after I Make my breakfast and a cuppa Tea, sit down and wait for the next OTSR video, instantly click on it when it pops up, click the like button before I even see Iain and Gary, sit back and enjoy the video and then rewatch the video a few times throughout the day if I can

    This is one of my favorite found footage films ever made, there’s just this very unsettling undertone throughout. It’s a blast to watch with friends!

    Granted, while not a classic of the genre as horror fans we always acknowledge all involved with their ideas, drive & passion to do as much as possible with the limited resources. Hell they made 3 movies you got to give props for that.

    It's OTSR time! I'm soooooo late, it's been one heck of a week. It's Monday morning, but this is now my Thursday! The Wasteland Shelfer continues soon. I need to put my feet up! Have a good one, Shelfers! 👊

    In my opinion, the 3 best found footage movies of all time are:
    The Borderlands (a.k.a. Final Prayer) (horror)
    Europa Report (sci-fi)
    Cloverfield (kaiju)
    If not one of these films is to your liking, then you can scratch found footage from your list.

    Big fan of the Hell House movies. The overall story was just so interesting to see develop as they went on, regardless if you think they're bad movies or not.

    this is the most difficult genre to make, you can see how judgemental they are in this review, even with a good concept and the way to produce it, you can't be average, you already have audiences and critics against you just by the term "found footage", this is an ok movie but in this genre you need more than ok

    • @aaronjustice2566
      @aaronjustice2566 Місяць тому +2

      And I def agree. It is a very hard genre to balance.
      Luckily there is a fanbase of FF superfans who go in KNOWING the flaws of this indie genre.
      Like I wouldnt like the horror in the high desert series or the hell house series if I was expecting a conventional film style.
      But Gary highlights the positives of how he is engaged with every character.
      I love FF and even the faux documentary subgenre. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure because on the flip side I'm a bit of a film snob but I love seeing people with a micro budget making the most of it. Like FF is unambitious for a big budget but it might be your only chance to make a truly effective horror with near zero budget. You might not be able to make a monster gore movie on zero budget or at least one with solid effects but you might pull off a ff or mockumentary that is effective.

    I think the ability to take away your expectations of a regular horror film and actually imagining found footage as being 'real' is completely necessary to really appreciate these types of movies. The scares in this movie are very effective yet simple and less about the camera man getting the best shot possible and more of how the footage would look in real life if it was found. Plus they set up in the beginning why Alex is so set on finishing this and choosing to ignore any real danger in a real haunted house; we as audience members wouldnt do it but we should be able to understand why HE would. In my opinion keeping the actual portal to hell up to you to imagine makes it way more freaky, just like tue conclusion to Blair Witch Project

    I watched this a few days ago, I loved the creepy vibe of the first 40 mins. As soon as the actual reveal is made, it lost me, it becomes a terrible mess of a film.
    I have also seen several people online calling the clowns, ghosts... When the whole film I was under the impression they were people...

    • @aaronjustice2566
      @aaronjustice2566 Місяць тому +1

      If you like the genre of mockumentary FF watch Horror in the High Desert.
      There are two and the director just submitted the third called Firewatch for Amazon Prime VOD release meaning it could drop anytime. So FF fans are on the lookout daily. I've been following it since production was wrapping up last Oct.
      It's my guilty pleasure genre.
      If you want a real solid found footage that sticks the landing Gonjiam. It's a South Korean FF and worth a fully invested watch in the dark with no distractions.

  • @ShibuyaDaydream
    @ShibuyaDaydream 21 день тому +1

    The ideas left at the end of this first film that sort of unseen horror of not knowing what happens to them and your mind slowly ticking away thinking about it was the best part of this movie for me. It seems the director understood the idea of the scariest things are the things you don’t see but failed in the execution by as Gary said not leading to any sort of cool kill or little glimpse to make the journey seem worthwhile. Very cool ideas and a great first attempt but somewhat unfulfilling.

    Found footage demands some respect put on its name. Blair Witch, Lake Mungo, Borderlands, As Above So Below WHS, Paranormal Activity, Europa Report, Creep, Rec, Last Exorcism, etc... You don't have to like all of these films but they are all commendable (even if you don't consider them to be A24 standard). That's a lot of bangers for a genre that is seemingly being treated as a joke.
    Hell House is pretty decent but doesn't stand up to repeat viewings..

  • @aaronjustice2566
    @aaronjustice2566 Місяць тому +3

    Iain, a fantastic found footage that you wont be able to sit down and know what to expect and think gou have wasted your time, the South Korean horror Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum.
    Its a good in and fully invest in the dark FF horror. As someone who likes the genre its finding flicks like Gonjiam that keep us watching them.

    This film was excellent. Loved it. Genuinely creepy. And two of the most memorable "frighty" scenes I have ever seen (basement clown and guy hiding under the covers). I re-watch it often.

    You’ll always do better to not be low energy during a review. It’s off putting and pathetic. Ian is a flake.
