Recent found footage/mockumentary films
I thought this was a very good movie - yes, it was a bit slow, but I like British folk horror films and this could definitely be categorized as one. The ending? As bizarre as it is shocking.
Anyway, I just wanted to add that this year, together with 2013, just might be the best for found footage films - at least in this decade.
I've seen a whole lot of them, including some really crappy ones, but these were decent at worst IMO:
- The Den - short, but intense. Shame it loses some steam towards the end.
- Banshee Chapter - very fun, with a Lovecraftian vibe
- The Conspiracy - a hidden gem, definitely the best I've seen in some time.
- Europa Report - more of a sci-fi thriller, but still very good.
- Cult - it's Japanese, but well done (although weaker than Noroi or Occult, both of which impressed me)
... and now, The Borderlands.
The weaker ones include Mr. Jones, Devil's Due, Devil's Pass (which was actually not that bad until the ending), latest PA and Spirit in the Woods (which is dreadful).
I started this topic so people would discuss these recent mockumentaries (or "normal" horror films) and/or reccomend some that they think were good. There are never enough good genre films, especially lately when everyone seems to be remaking something. :)
My current watchlist includes Wer, Afflicted, The Sacrament, Alien Abduction and Taped, all of which are well received and currently available online (PM me if you want download links :) ). Some promising upcoming features are Willow Creek, Exists, Delivery, The Hunted, Raised by Wolves and As Above, So Below.
As said above, you are more than welcome to state your opinion. And excuse me if you find any grammar mistakes, english isn't my native language.
