  The Forbidden Files 1989

  ★★★★★ Watched by Tom 23 Nov 2021

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  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 by Tom 26 Apr 2021 11

  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.

  Amanuda Bhayam 2021

  ★★½ Rewatched by Tom 14 Jan 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Amanuda Bhayam sets itself up to be quite the promising narrative, as a team of parapsychology students investigate the local legend/lure behind a haunted forest in India.
  While the production succeeds in both cinematography and lighting capabilities, I find that the audio quality here was just too insufficient to go unnoticed. For example, dialogue leveling seems to lack a sort of fluctuation to it- despite the fact that character blocking and positioning are natural subjects to change. Conversely, the background…

  Curse of Aurore 2020

  ★★★★½ Watched by Tom 17 Jan 2021 2

  If you enjoy horror movies with found footage, evil spirits and the occult, then GO WATCH this movie RIGHT NOW because these filmmakers just knocked this one out of the park... An overall well-executed, brilliant take on the found footage horror subgenera!

  The Fear Footage 3AM 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Tom 19 Mar 2021

  It's no perfect movie but I really dig this franchise. And for it to be done on a shoestring budget with a skeleton crew I found a lot to embrace here... Some of the acting is missing, and the dialogue gets a bit repetitive offscreen. Also the sound mix needed some work. But when a movie entertains me, I generally pick up on less of those things. I thought the conclusion has a nice tie in to the first film. And those jump scares never do miss a beat for me!
