How To Watch Every Rankin/Bass Christmas Film In 2023 Love all the other suggestions in this thread. Dashcam's a fun recent release, if you can stand an (intentionally) hateable protagonist for the entire runtime. Couple of the shorts in the first VHS are among my favorite found footage anythings too. I'll probably always put Blair Witch at the top of my list of found footage films, but I know a big part of that is nostalgia. Just a lot more passion and attention to detail was put into that original production. The set of the final scene was so richly detailed and unnerving. The LA building they got for Quarantine was a solid choice for recapturing that tone, but I believe Rec's felt a bit more confined, which added to the claustrophobia and tension. I know it's an overused term, but their presentation felt a lot more visceral. Finally got around to watching the original Spanish language film just this past year and loved it. I watched the American remake, Quarantine, in high school and liked it alright, but it didn't stick with me super well. ![]() I think Grave Encounters Sequel is easily the best out of these 3 franchises, but man, some of these movies would really benefit from just being a one and done thing, instead of ruining a lot of the movie's legacy with, quite frankly, VERY bad sequels. The biggest issues with all of these movies though, are their god awful sequels. It avoided the issues of most FF horror movies, where the first 60-70 minutes is all build-up and mostly boring moments (Hellhouse has the issue, and is the main thing holding it back imo), and I'm not sure if any other Found footage movie will ever be able to top it for me. IMO REC was perfect, it was chaotic from start to finish, and was genuinely creepy. The pay-off is definitely good, and the movies in general has some great moments, but it also benefitied from me going into it with 0 expectations, and thining it was going to just be another low-budget FF horror movie, if I went into it thinking it's the "best ever found footage movie", I think I would have been a bit disappointed, as it really didn't stand out too much above all the other greats in the genre. Like most found footage movies, it's incredibly slow, with the final act having almost all the pay off. Then with Hell House, another good movies, but I think it's biggest issues is it's pacing. Grave encounters works super well if you're already a pretty big fan of crappy, over the top, fake ghost shows it's trying to emulate (with ghost adventures being the most obvious), IMO another great movie, but it definitely loses some of it's appeal if you aren't already a big fan of the kinds of things it's trying to parody/poke fun at. One of the best 'death scenes' of a vampire ever and it lives rent-free in my head since I. IMO REC is so well done, the pacing is phenomenal, and it's just genuinely scary, with it being the last hororr movie back in 2008 when I saw it, to actually REALLY scare me (remember literally being scared of the dark in my house the next few days, which I can't say has ever happened with any other horror movies sense.). Rec (2007) - Late-night TV host Angela and her cinematographer are following the fire service on a call to an apartment building, but the Spanish police seal off the building after an old woman is infected by a virus which gives her inhuman strength. Hell House and Grave Encounters are both fantastic movies of the genre, but IMO neither come close to REC.īoth of these movies too, also came out significantly after REC (with REC being pretty early on into the FF horror craze of the late 2000's/early 2010's, so it also didn't have the benefit of 100+ other FF horror movies to look at, and try improve on (unlike both Hellhouse and Grave Encounters.) Completely disagree as a huge fan of the FF genre, and huge fans of both Hell House and Grave Encounters.
