The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014) (Eagle Films and Millennium Entertainment) Leaving the audience to wonder whether they deserve whatвЂ™s happening to them. And as secrets are revealed, we find our вЂњprotagonistsвЂќ have done some pretty terrible things. And the scares have an interesting feel to them because they are set on a computer screen. Somehow, this one has so many twists and turns that it makes up for what could be a really typical concept. The film follows a group of friends stuck in a Skype conversation with the spirit of a dead classmate who seems intent on revenge.

But this movie still finds a way to give an old dog some new tricks. In fact, itвЂ™s the oldest one in the horror books (so to speak).

Spirits taking revenge on people who wronged them isnвЂ™t a new concept. If youвЂ™ve never watched this, go in with an open mind and ignore the criticsвЂ™ reviews! Unfriended (2014) (Universal Pictures) The atmosphere is eerie, there are genuine scares, and overall itвЂ™s a memorable found footage horror movie. And Scarlett as a character is incredibly ambitious, which costs people their lives. This movie builds a lot of tension and keeps you guessing who will make it out alive. But they soon uncover a darkness thatвЂ™s lurking beneath Paris and not everyone makes it out alive. The film follows Scarlett(Perdita Weeks)вЂ™s documentary crew who are seeking the PhilosopherвЂ™s Stone in the Catacombs of Paris. As Above, So Below (2014) (Universal Pictures)Дespite its unwarranted negative reviews, this is a damn good found footage horror movie. The entities are frightening and the history behind the hospital is really ugly. But aside from a few gripes, this is a really nerve-wracking found footage movie. Making the only character of color be a Black man who uses the вЂfвЂ™ slur isвЂ¦yeah. The movie naturally starts off with the producer explaining the cancellation of the show and that they uncovered this raw footage-and then youвЂ™re off to the races. You can probably see where this is going-their search for paranormal activity leads them to find exactly what they wanted, but at the cost of their lives. The plot follows a crew of a paranormal reality show, Grave Encounters, who lock themselves inside a supposedly haunted/abandoned psych hospital. Okay, as far as foolish decisions go, the characters in this movie are at aВ level 10 foolish, but stick with it. Out of all the found footage that IвЂ™ve personally watched, these are the best. Most people have seen the Paranormal Activity franchise, but where do you turn when you want something a little off the beaten path (but still a fantastic watch)? And if thatвЂ™s why youвЂ™re reading this, youвЂ™re in the right place. Though, just like other subgenres, itвЂ™s a process to shift through the duds to find gold. Whether the style for the films is handheld cameras, computers, or phone screens, etc.-the end result can be fun! It can be really freaky and effective because of how real the movies tend to feel. Which is too bad, because, over the years, found footage has captured the hearts of many horror fans. There are many horror fans who donвЂ™t care for it, and as a result, some have sworn off or dismissed the whole found footage subgenre. And an ending simply doesnвЂ™t save a whole movie. But, letвЂ™s be honest, itвЂ™s really only the last 5 minutes that people remember the most. Not that I donвЂ™t appreciate it-the film helped jump-start the found footage subgenre and rattled horror fans at the time. ItвЂ™s controversial but it needs to be said, I think The Blair Witch Project (1999) is overrated.
