Funny. This thread has pushed me into watching these older movies and I typically dont do that. Just watched the Ruins. Ive seen it at least a few times, but its been so long that I had forgotten what it was about.

This stupid shit is my guilty pleasure, too. Going to watch it now since I have the house to myself tonight:


This shit is fun, too:

I honestly never knew about the international ending. Now I want to watch it with that ending since I havent watched it in a while and see if I get that "bleaker" vibe reviewers talk about.

Edit: Neil Marshall is The Descent guy. I want to say he's worked with Alex Garland in the past though. Maybe on 28 Days Later.

Ok, so The Pyramid is fun and for some strange reason I really enjoy found footage type movies. It was at least a neat idea and it was fairly well done.
As above so below I thought it was actually really good for the same genre or trope. I liked it better than the pyramid.

I surprisingly watched The Cave maybe last week or so because I had never seen it in its entirety, and it was pretty good and at least it was a novel concept on vampirism. I think I appreciated it more than when I saw parts of it when it came out back in the late 90s or early 2000s.

The Descent though is a masterpiece. I want to say that's Alex Garland who I was maybe trying to remember the other day, I could be wrong, but I think it's the same dude it did Dog Soldiers, and he was one of those newer masters of horror that I was trying to remember. I saw it in the theater and will watch it every couple of years.

The second one is pretty direct a video. It's not bad but it doesn't hold up the first whatsoever.

In the same vein and some of the found footage stuff, you should check out both of the Grave Encounters films. They're both surprisingly good, and you would probably enjoy them.

I always think of Sorcerer when it comes to Tangerine Dream. It was such an integral part of an intense film.

I like VHS for found footage movies. It's spawned a whole franchise.

There's very little "found footage" movies I like. Blair Witch pretty much completely took me out of that genre.

Not because of the filming style itself but because of the hype around Blair Witch itself.

"Scariest movie ever made!"
"So scary, people throw up watching it!"

Went to see it in the theater and it was boring as fuck. Ever since I've been "Eh, don't care" when it comes to found footage movies. I've seen some but for the most part I don't particularly care for them. Grave Encounters was good, the first one anyway. The first VHS was good but everything else... Don't care. Especially don't care if it's like Paranormal, that franchise is just a fucking cop out of a franchise.

I too went and saw The Blair witch back when I was in high school with some friends into a packed theater. It was pretty lackluster. There was only one scene where I think they were sleeping and their tent, and there were weird noises and little kids laughing outside but everything's pitch black and I thought at least from an audio standpoint, that was kind of creepy.

The paranormal movies do blow.

REC / REC 2
Hell House LLC (just this one the sequels are terrible)
Afflicted
Creep
One Cut of the Dead
As Above, So Below - this isnt the best movie but its better then its RT score and its a fun journey

and if you are brave: Cannibal Holocaust (really I am not sure I recommend anyone watch this)

Amen. REC 1&2 are both probably some of the best found footage films ever. The third one though I don't know what the hell they were thinking. The second one is especially awesome though.

As above so below is also great just from its premise. I think I mentioned it in another thread or maybe it was this one I don't remember.

I just like that style of filming when it's done right, and it can be pretty entertaining.

I'm sitting here thinking about the REC films and they really missed the boat on using the same set, but then the outbreak happens, and you would have been lie filming in the streets, but maybe logistically that was just impossible. Would really given some decent continuity considering they use the same place for the second film and just expanded upon the first all happening in the same night. I thought that was actually pretty clever, and they could have easily done things escalating after containment is breached.

I know you had the one sequel where there was a wedding, and I don't really remember anything about that movie because it was just so jarringly different, but was there another one where they were actually on a boat or something, where's that the same film?

I just remember the second one and waiting it to come out and suddenly it the high seas late at night, immediately scooped it up, and washed it at like 3:00 a.m.. remember what the hell I was doing that night, but sat and watched it and was blown away.
