Introduction:
Since I have nothing new to add to the Blair Witch discussion at this time, and won't unless I'm ever lucky enough to view the unreleased footage, I thought I'd at least suggest a few films to the board that some of you may or may not have been aware of.
I'm sure many of you have probably seen this already but in case you haven't, I'd recommend it to any found footage fan, if only for the practical effects.
Synopsis:
A disgraced internet personality attempts to win back his followers by livestreaming one night alone in a haunted house. But when he accidentally pisses off a vengeful spirit, his big comeback event becomes a real-time fight for his life.
My take:
It's not prestige filmmaking, but it utilizes the FF concept well enough to remain engaging throughout the runtime and I wasn't disappointed by the end of it.
I'd give it a solid B and can see it becoming a cult classic, nowhere near the level of Blair Witch '99, but within the horror community at least.
Don't watch the trailer, go in blind for the best experience.
Otherwise, what did everyone else think? It's better than the majority of other FF garbage that's released, which is all I can ask for since they all can't be classics.
