Feels a bit too familiar...

The Town That Dreaded Sundown 1976
There are some nice, creepy touches here with the story of a real-life killer who was never caught, but there are also too many instances of tone-deaf "comedy" that simply don't belong.
Scream Factory's Blu looks pretty great though, and the special features (including interviews and Charles Pierce's other feature THE EVICTORS) are solid.

Amber Alert 2012
If you're a filmmaker planning on making a found footage movie... don't.
But if you proceed anyway, please don't reveal the ending in your opening text. Please don't feel compelled to fill screentime with characters rambling "realistically." Please don't think it logical for your "cameraman" to film talking heads when the actual something interesting is happening offscreen. Please don't have your characters act idiotically as a way to avoid them resolving a situation in a smart and common sense way.
Please don't make a found footage movie.
