    Found Footage brilliance here. Different stories from around the world, primarily set in the 80's capturing various supernatural phenomena on tape. The episodes are really short, yet still grabbed my attention. It feels like the Twilight Zone meets Black Mirror, but still completely original in both concept/execution... My favorite episode has got to be 'The Witch'. Which one was your favorite?

    Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! File 01 - Operation Capture the Slit-Mouthed Woman 2012

    ★★★★½ Watched 26 Apr 2021 13

    A video series shot in the form of a mockumentary, called 'Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi!’ — While you can only stream these in Japan; I was lucky & caught the ‘Final Chapter’ (File-07) on YouTube before it was eventually taken offline. This (parallel) universe created by Kôji Shiraishi (Noroi) is extremely unique in concept and just the kind of ‘weirdness’ that I like.

    Great suspense. And great usage in both their transitioning as well as GUI displays… I also admire the two very subtle found footage hybrid fake-out sequences (occurring once at the beginning; and the other towards the end); which hide behind unique mediums and still maintain continuity in the screenlife perspective. 🤓

    New and innovative approach to the V/H/S franchise. For context, I love this whole series, and enjoy them all equally.
    The title segments in V/H/S/94 are:
    (1) “Storm Drain” by Chloe Okuno
    (2) “The Veggie Masher” by Steven Kostanski
    (3) “The Empty Wake” by Simon Barrett
    (4) “The Subject” by Timo Tjahjanto
    (5) “Terror” by Ryan Prows
    (6) “Holy Hell” by Jennifer Reeder
    Overall, I think the dialogue approach stands out in ‘94 among the rest. While some of the visual…
