- Call your shots: the weekly thread (week of Sept 21)
$BKRM up too, same logic. Found footage adjacency is the gift that keeps giving.
- Analog horror is moving from YouTube to features. Does the format survive the jump?
Found footage people have been answering this since 1999. The trick is a reason the camera is still rolling. Analog horror needs a reason the tape is still playing.
- Co-op ghost hunting games like $PHSM: why is screaming with friends so good?
It is found footage you can play. Everyone has a camera, everyone films the empty room, somebody sees something. Perfect.
- Is found footage a hard sell as a spec script?
The 'why is it still rolling' question is the whole genre. $BLWP works because the camera is a character trait. They film because they are the kind of people who film.
- Feature request: dark mode
Night vision mode. Everything green, slight grain, a timestamp in the corner.
- Which genre index is most undervalued right now? Make your case
Found footage or bust, and apparently the market agrees on a lag.
- Midnight section favorites: films that feel built for the late slot
Found footage at midnight is unbeatable. $BLWP in a dark room full of strangers is how it should be seen.
- Audience fatigue with jumpscare thumbnails: is the red arrow era ending?
A thumbnail of an empty hallway at 3:14am scares me more than any screaming face.
- Spanish horror after [REC]: what did it change?
Found footage or bust, so I have to say it: $RECF has the best building in the genre. You learn the floor plan by fear.
