r/foundfootage

Set in Marlock, Melbourne, Australia. Recovered tapes uncover the secret of a mysterious and abandoned warehouse, that has been kept under wraps for decades.

All created by me in blender! Please be nice! I'd love for you guys to give it a watch!

I ask this every so often, but can anyone recommend some good ff movies filmed in the mockum style? I’ve seen a lot of them: Lake Mungo, Savageland, Howard’s Mill, HITHH, Lunopolis, Strange Harvest, The Bay. This is my favorite style, and I’m always seeking out some hidden gems.

Also love FF that isn’t the usual haunted house/asylum/forest, possession, Satanic cult. Any interesting or Sci-fi premises like LOLA or Lunopolis to check out?

Thanks in advance!!

Who do you think the most influential traditional director is on the found footage genre? I had a tough time with one. To me it is probably Hitchcock because he first of all structured his films so well, second he did so much without revealing everything…the build up and finally he gave thrills without any crazy effects but they were incredibly effective. I have to say I’m probably biased as I’m a found footage horror kind of person.

I'm looking for more found footage horror where the central mystery is investigating a missing person or people.

This is easily my favorite type of found footage movie.

Some of the ones I've already seen are:

• #missingcouple
• The Blair Witch Project
• Megan Is Missing (I refuse to recommend this one, though.)
• Evil Things
• Horror in the High Desert
• Cannibal Holocaust
• Searching
• The Poughkeepsie Tapes

I'm less interested in generic haunted house or possession found footage. It's specifically the "someone disappeared, let's go find out what happened" premise that I love.

Any recommendations?

I work a lot but when I do have my free time I’d like to settle in an watch a good FF flick. Been out of the loop for quite some time and would appreciate some solid recs.

Currently watching “BUM.” Will review.

Interests in plots are supernatural, sci-fi, bizarre, disturbing.

Thanks guys!

Yea I know the word "liminal" is getting pretty popular nowadays, especially with the Backrooms being made into a feature film. (I wish it was ff , tho I did enjoy it still)

Looking for movies with "liminal" segments or the whole thing.

An example would be the segment in Hostile Dimensions with the panda's playplace.

Classroom 6 kind of fit the vibe.

The Outwaters ?

I honestly can not think of any really lol.

I don't mind youtube clips (I have seen all of the backrooms ones), so suggest away plz, but I'm mainly looking for feature films.

Thank you for reading and have a good one!

Hi (M16), I wanted to have some advices on the movie I want to make, sorry it'll be a long ass text :

The plot so far boils down to: 3-4 friends go out in town together pretty often, they basically have typical teenage hobbies. Everything goes really well during the first 20-30 minutes to allow for some character development. They mention urbex throughout the beginning and make plans to go film all of it, and one day they all go together. It goes fine, and they just find some random inscriptions, but nothing that really impacts the story. Second expedition (and this is where the plot gets a bit blurry because I don’t know where to take it, hence this post), one of them can’t come but he’s the one with the camera, so he gives it to his friend, and they find some weird stuff (like inscriptions in another place, etc.)

Over the course of the expeditions, you learn about the existence of a cult in the area; people in their small villages disappear during the day, and no one seems to worry. The cult worships a terrifying entity whose form I would invent (very long arms touching the ground, very long legs, and other unusual features, not typical of found footage). At some point, I’d like to destroy the characters’ sense of safety when the cult attacks the main characters’ house in broad daylight.

I’m not sure exactly how to end all of this.

To clarify, the idea came to me just a few days ago.

So I was coming to ask you how I could improve all of this, how to manage to make a good FF movie (maybe also some movie recommendations, my biggest inspiration at the moment is the movie The Goat by Tyler Clifton, a gem) and what elements I could add that would make the film feel real

thanks a lot in advance, I apologize for this long ass text xD

just watched this movie yesterday thinking it would be cool, i thought they would go INTO the cave and film it and stuff but no 95% of the movie is the camera crew doubting an old senile man... i'm so disappointed but also, i didn't understand the end of the movie?

why was the old man caged up? was he down there all along? was the old man we saw a shapeshifter?

why did the monster come to MC's house to record him?

Hello, I'm hoping someone can recommend some newer release FF movies to watch. Tubi, YouTube, Foundtv or premium.
