The film that showed that found footage can be more than horror


This movie showed that found footage can work outside of the horror genre and can branch into the Scfi and superhero ones. It's a good moral story about three friends who come across this power that takes them deeper into the dark side and ultimately turns them against each other. I thought it was well done and entertaining.

You guys should check out the marathon I did for Blair Witch Project, Rec, Paranormal Activity, Quarantine, Chronicle, and Cloverfield titled When Found Footage Becomes A Phenomenon. You guys can check it out on my blog.

I might say Chronicle put non-Horror found footage on the map, but one could argue that Trollhunter and Cloverfield were more Fantasy and Sci-Fi than Horror.

Ever hear of a little comedy titled Man Bites Dog?
