Send us a Question!MOVIE DISCUSSION:Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss Loner, an underseen in-world/found-footage, semi-horror, semi-drama film! Loner has more than its gorgeous setting to offer, from it's slow, contemplative pace to its curiously complex main character, and the two get into that and more in this episode. Tune in now! Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 21-minutes discussing Supergirl's shockingly terrible opening box-office numbers, if the age of the Spielberg/Lucas-esque adventure blockbuster is over, and the ever-changing landscape of entertainment in 2026. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)First things first, Loner is more than the average "man lost in woods with camera" movie; the cinematography looks beautiful.Wishing there was more horror in this horror movie, but accepting it as the horror-lite psychological drama that it is.Melvin confesses that his general bitterness toward "male loneliness epidemic" characters prevented him from enjoying the film as much as he could have, and also finds it convicting.Kathryn observed a dichotomy between fantasy and truth, and explores how the film portrayed these things.Melvin, however, approaches it a little differently. He compares the film's portrayal of technology against nature, and how that's explored through manhood; or patriarchy.Melvin, "No person has lived well alone."The ending leaves Melvin a little confused. For Kathryn, the ending seems clearer, albeit still a little strange.Did Angus learn the right lesson at the end?Recommendations:Afflicted (2013) (Movie)Go To Sleep (2026) (Movie) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

(PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Asking the important questions: what's Frogman, and is he a swamp-mermaid?Each scene cleverly employs a new framing device, helping the film keep a healthy forward momentum.So... what does the gang think about the film's characters?The interview section of the film is when Melvin thought to himself, "Oh, like, this is a competent, real found-footage film, not just some Tubi-esque feature. Nice."Frogman is a real cryptid, but some of the environmental stuff in Frogman isn't. Kathryn shares why that may be.Does the Found-Footage genre typically result in a main character's self-destruction?Recommendations:Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie (2023) (Book)Old Gods of Appalachia (2019 - X) (Podcast)Hokum (2026) (Movie) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

Wir waren auf angenehmste Weise extrem unangenehm berührt: BACKROOMS – basierend auf der Webserie des noch sehr jungen Regisseurs Kane Parsons – ist einer der originellsten und ungewöhnlichsten Horrorfilme, die wir seit langer Zeit gesehen haben. Wenn wir den Protagonisten durch die endlosen Räume folgen, die wie architektonische Metastasen einer sadistischen KI wirken, dann es ist es als würden wir hellwach durch den eigenen Alptraum gehen. Die bedrückende Atmosphäre und das unter die Haut gehende Sounddesign ziehen einen in seinen Bann. Eine Welt, die man so noch nie gesehen hat: Räume, die man zwar glaubt wiederzuerkennen, die aber nur ein sinnentleertes, kaskadierendes Echo einer Erinnerung an Räume ist.Dazu kommt, dass uns einzelne Szenen genauso verwirren wie die extrem irritierende Architektur der endlosen Gänge, Hallen und Zimmer. Der Versuch, dahinter einen Grund und einen Zweck zu erkennen, laugt unseren Verstand aus: Was das alles bedeutet, dass muss jeder mit sich selbst ausmachen. Meine Idee: Der Raum ist ein Phänomen, dass aus dem Unterbewusstein der Menschen, die den Raum betreten, immer neue Räume Realität werden lässt (wie einst auf Solaris). Nur so ein Gedanke. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Kino wieder draußen in der vertrauten Welt reden wir auch über die großartigen Darsteller, über Höhenangst und Jump Scares. Am Mikrofon: Marc, Hendrik, Tom und Thomas.
In dieser Folge wird's heiß – und das liegt nicht nur am Wetter.Marco, Nenad und Khit sprechen über die Hausaufgabe Der Exorzist (1973) und gehen der Frage nach, warum William Friedkins Horrorklassiker auch über 50 Jahre später noch als einer der einflussreichsten Filme aller Zeiten gilt.Nach unserer Begeisterung für The Furious war bei Marco und Nenad die Lust auf Martial-Arts-Kino noch lange nicht gestillt. Während Nenad mit The Raid (2011) einen modernen Action-Klassiker erneut besucht, verschlägt es Marco in etwas B-lastigere Gefilde – mit Mortal Kombat II.Und Khit? Der scheint endgültig Gefallen am Horror gefunden zu haben und berichtet von Backrooms (2026) – einer Verfilmung des Internetphänomens, die zwischen Found Footage, Albtraum und Analog Horror ihren ganz eigenen Weg geht.Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Hören.

Mary s'échappe des Backrooms. En théorie. Elle sort du complexe, elle revoit le monde réel — et tombe directement sur Async. D'une prison à une autre. Ce détail, à lui seul, déplace toute la question du film. Le sujet n'est peut-être pas : comment sortir du labyrinthe ? Le sujet, c'est : que devient-on après y être entré ? Parce qu'à mesure qu'on avance dans la théorie, une idée s'impose, plus sale que celle d'un simple dédale. Et si les Backrooms n'étaient pas un lieu, mais une dimension qui apprend à nous imiter ?Dans cet épisode :Un complexe qui n'invente pas ses formes, mais les absorbe — des bureaux d'un accent précis, figé depuis l'ouverture du seuil en 1989. Une copie qui remonte des murs jusqu'aux corps, puis jusqu'à la mémoire et au temps lui-même. Les Still-Lives comme humains inachevés. Et une question que le film ne pose jamais directement : et si les combinaisons Hazmat protégeaient d'autre chose qu'une contamination biologique ?

On the Overthinking It Podcast, we walk through the wall into the highly meme-able bizarro world known as either “The Backrooms” or just “Backrooms,” it's hard to know for sure. Episode 936: They Found Footage Too Greedily and Too Deep originally appeared on Overthinking It, the site subjecting the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn't deserve. [Latest Posts | Podcast (iTunes Link)]
This week, we review this summer's OTHER horror movie phenomenon: 20-year-old filmmaker Kane Parsons' Backrooms. Based off a viral 2022 YouTube series depicting the exploration of the titular liminal space, Backrooms adapts the creepypasta into full-blown Hollywood spectacle. As the great YouTuber-to-filmmaker war of 2026 draws to a close, we crown a victor in the arena of Obsession vs. Backrooms.
Indie filmmaker Chris Vander Kaay talks about making "Go To Sleep", his new found footage feature.
Aaron Arguello joins to talk about Japanese Found Footage Horror movies, the GOAT of the form Koji Shiraishi and his newest film "About a Place in the Kinki Region" Links to Aaron's Music: https://halfmasstx.bandcamp.com/album/ten-gallon-heart https://jejunestars.bandcamp.com/album/jejune-stars https://pam3.bandcamp.com/album/3p https://virginiaiscreepy.bandcamp.com/
Based on the viral web series from Kane Parsons, which itself was inspired by creepypastas, Backrooms is the latest horror movie to blow up the box office. It is currently A24's highest grossing film to date, with $213 million after its second weekend. Does Backrooms reinvent the wheel though? Join us as delve into the ins and outs of this liminal space horror, including how the visual effects were achieved, and whether there is a deeper meaning to the narrative. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die.

Myself Dan & Gung Ho Muttley discuss our love and appreciation for Found Footage films as well as GHMs very own film Heraldry Paranormal which is coming out very soon From the OG films such as The Last Broadcast & Blair Witch Project to paranormal activity, REC, Chronicle & Creepwhat do we love about these filmsfound out
REC (2007) found footage horror gets the Cutting Deep into Horror treatment as Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfilock themselves inside one of the most terrifying Spanish horror movies ever made. Directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, REC is a lean, relentless Spanish found footage zombie horror classic that follows a TV reporter and her cameraman into a Barcelona apartment building where a routine emergency call becomes a sealed-off nightmare.In this episode, Henrique and Rachael dig into why REC still feels so scary, eerie, immediate, and brutally effectivenearly two decades later. From the firehouse ride-along setup to the escalating quarantine, from the infected attacks to the unforgettable night-vision finale, this is a movie that understands exactly how to use shaky camera chaos without losing the audience.Inside this episode:Why REC works so well as found footage horror — and why the news crew setup makes the camera feel natural instead of forced.The apartment building as a horror trap — claustrophobic hallways, locked exits, frightened residents, and a quarantine that keeps tightening.Spanish zombie horror vs. American remake energy — including comparisons to Quarantine and why the original feels rawer and more dangerous.The Tristiana Medeiros reveal — how the movie shifts from outbreak horror into something more demonic, strange, and unforgettable.The final darkness — why the night-vision climax remains one of the most iconic endings in modern found footage horror.Henrique and Rachael's final thoughts on why REC is one of the strongest found footage films they've covered so far.REC was reportedly produced on a roughly $2.1 million budget and earned about $23 million worldwide, making it a major international success for Spanish horror and one of the defining found-footage genre entries of the 2000s.
“The Killing Cell” is an awesome found footage film that's been tearing up the festival circuit with awards and nominations! Writer/director/producer and actor Karsen Schovajsa and his crew pulled together a nostalgic horror flick that captures the same eerie energy as “Hell House LLC” and “Grave Encounters.” I was lucky enough to check out a screener, absolutely loved it, and had to bring Karsen onto the podcast to talk all about the making of this soon-to-be cult hit! Make sure to follow TheKillingCellMovie, DeadRenegadeFilms, ScreenSanctity (James Bessey, co-director)and Karsen_Thomas3 for updates on the film.

Paranormal Activity, found footage horror, demonic hauntings, and the nightmare of being watched while you sleep take center stage in this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, as Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi dig into the low-budget movie that turned a bedroom doorway, a static camera, and a few impossible noises into modern horror history.This week, Henrique and Rachael discuss Paranormal Activity, the 2007 found footage supernatural horror film written and directed by Oren Peli, starring Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat. The movie follows a couple who begin filming their home after a disturbing presence seems to become more active at night, and that simple setup helped turn the film into one of horror's biggest micro-budget success stories. AFI lists Oren Peli as director, writer, cinematographer, and editor, with Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat in the cast; Box Office Mojo lists the estimated budget at $15,000 and the worldwide gross at $193,355,933.Henrique and Rachael get into why Paranormal Activity still feels eerie, why its bedroom-camera setup works so well, and how the movie weaponizes waiting. This is not glossy haunted house horror. It is a movie about small sounds, weird behavior, relationship tension, and the terrifying idea that something may be standing in the room while you are asleep.Inside this episode:• Why Paranormal Activity became a found footage phenomenon — Henrique and Rachael talk about the film's perfect timing, its word-of-mouth power, and how its low-budget realism helped make it feel scarier than more polished studio horror.• Katie and Micah's relationship as horror fuel — The episode digs into the uneasy dynamic between Katie and Micah, including how Micah's ego, skepticism, and need to keep filming make the haunting feel more personal and more frustrating.• Less-is-more supernatural terror — From bedroom shadows to long silences, tiny movements, footsteps, doors, and nighttime dread, the conversation looks at how the film turns minimal effects into maximum tension.• The power of found footage believability — Henrique and Rachael compare Paranormal Activity to other found footage movies, including Cloverfield, while discussing why roughness, improvisation, and simplicity can make horror feel more immediate.• The ending and alternate endings — The episode covers the final escalation, Katie's possession, Micah's fate, the psychic's warning, and why the last image is so important to the film's impact.• Why the movie still matters — Whether you think it is terrifying, overhyped, or somewhere in between, Paranormal Activity helped reshape mainstream horror and proved that a scary idea, executed with discipline, could hit harder than a monster in full view.Where to watch Paranormal Activity in the U.S.:Currently, Paranormal Activity is listed as streaming on Paramount+, Paramount+ via Amazon Channel, and fuboTV. It is also listed for digital rental or purchase through Fandango at Home, Apple TV, and Amazon Video. Paramount+ also has an official movie page for the film. Availability changes often, so double-check your preferred app before recording or publishing.

Eerie found footage chaos meets scary viral marketing mystery in Cloverfield (2008). Director Matt Reeves, writer Drew Goddard, and producer J.J. Abrams crafted a mature-themes monster movie that redefined how handheld perspective creates terror. Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi revisit the kaiju-style attack, NYC devastation, and cult-classic status of this explosive creature-feature on Cutting Deep into Horror—one of the 2000s' most unsettling disaster horrors.Cloverfield remains a cult-favorite found footage monster movie built on shaky-cam panic, post-9/11 imagery, mysterious viral marketing, and the unforgettable sight of New York City collapsing under something enormous, unknowable, and very, very hungry.Inside this episode:Henrique and Rachael dig into why Cloverfield still works as a found footage horror movie, even with a studio-sized monster spectacle roaring behind the handheld camera.They revisit the original mystery-box marketing campaign, the untitled teaser, the online speculation, the Lost and Godzilla rumors, and the way the film turned pre-release confusion into a major part of the experience.The conversation walks through the movie's biggest nightmare images: the Statue of Liberty's head in the street, the collapsing city, the subway parasite attack, the rescue mission for Beth, the helicopter crash, Operation Hammer Down, and that final Coney Island clue hiding in plain sight.They also get into the film's lingering connection to 9/11-era disaster imagery, why handheld horror depends so heavily on realism, how Cloverfield compares to The Blair Witch Project and other found footage films, and why the movie's sense of panic still feels unusually immediate.Plus, they discuss the cast, Matt Reeves' later career, Steven Spielberg's reported influence on the ending, the monster's mysterious origin, and whether Cloverfield still holds up nearly two decades later.Where to watch Cloverfield (U.S.):Free with ads on Pluto TV: https://pluto.tv/us/on-demand/movies/5bd3338967f34cef7af44a37

Creep (2014) is one of the most unsettling found footage horror movies of the 2010s, and in this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi dig into why Patrick Brice's microbudget nightmare still works so well. This episode centers on Creep, the 2014 psychological horror film directed by Patrick Brice and built around the deeply unnerving chemistry between Mark Duplass and Brice himself. The uploaded episode notes describe the discussion as a deep dive into trust, manipulation, ethical boundaries, filmmaking, and emotional vulnerability, with the hosts also teasing One Cut of the Dead for next week. Inside this episodeWhy Creep feels so real and why its awkward, intimate style makes the horror hit harderJosef as a manipulator, using warmth, humor, and vulnerability as weaponsFound footage tension and how the film turns normal social discomfort into dreadFilmmaking ethics and performance, including how the movie comments on directors, subjects, and emotional exploitationHenrique and Rachael's own filmmaking stories, including videography and client-boundary experiences that echo the film's anxietiesThe final act and ending, and why the movie lingers long after it is overThese themes line up closely with the episode chapters and summary embedded in the uploaded transcript file, including sections on wedding videography struggles, first impressions, the shift in atmosphere, the Peachfuzz reveal, manipulation, and filmmaking truths. About the filmCreep premiered at SXSW on March 8, 2014. It was directed by Patrick Brice, with story credit shared by Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass, and it has gone on to become a modern cult favorite in found-footage and psychological horror circles. It stars Mark Duplass as Josef and Patrick Brice as Aaron. Where to watch (U.S., this week)Current U.S. availability appears to include Netflix, Netflix Standard with Ads, Amazon Prime Video, and Amazon Prime Video with Ads for streaming, with Amazon Video and Fandango At Home showing rental and/or purchase options. I'm only listing options that were corroborated across multiple sources. Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi go beyond a surface-level review and really get into why Creep feels so disturbing, how Josef weaponizes performance, and why the movie doubles as a nasty little commentary on storytelling itself.

He is also the host of INVASION OF THE POD PEOPLE, where he interviews independent horror filmmakers.Thomas' new feature film - THE PHILIP EXPERIMENT - recently won the "Palmer d'Or" award at the 10th annual MidWest WeirdFest; an award that honors the memory of Wisconsin sci-fi and Fortean pioneer, Raymond A. Palmer, and recognizes excellence in the field today. .THE PHILIP EXPERIMENT is a found footage horror film, that takes its name and inspiration from a 1972 parapsychology experiment that invented a fictional character - named Philip - and then allegedly communicated with that entity via séances.In Thomas' film, a team of paranormal researchers led by an unscrupulous documentary filmmaker also try to summon the ghost of a fictional character. It's a found footage gem that blurs the lines between real paranormal history and edge-of-your-seat terror.The official site of THE PHILIP EXPERIMENT film:https://www.thephilipexperiment.com/Visit Thomas online here: https://www.thomaseliot.com/Listen to INVASION OF THE POD PEOPLE here:https://open.spotify.com/show/31gLclJ88mkwSTglOmxIlwThomas visits with TALKING WEIRD to chat about his film THE PHILIP EXPERIMENT, as well as the startling real life experiment that inspired it; one of the strangest and most significant stories in the annals of the paranormal.This is a fascinating conversation.

Growing up, we were fans of The X-Files. Reboots have been a mixed bag, however. That does not stop us from being excited about Ryan Coogler's upcoming take on the series. As we speculated last week, The Last Drive-In aired its final episode. According to those in the know, there will be more to come. The first movie this show throws a lot at the wall. It is a supernatural horror movie with a haunted house, ghosts, and cursed objects. Plus, there are twins, a blind medium, and a monster. Oddity makes it work thanks to patient writing and some of the best placed scares we have ever seen. We have covered lots of found footage on our show. Bodycam is the first one to make one of us feel physically ill. And it had nothing to do with what is in the movie. Its chaotic pacing and extra shaky shaky cam will make this a difficult watch for anyone with a weak stomach. It does try to do something different by having a semblance of a plot. This works until it doesn't. After a great set-up, Bodycam runs out of ideas. The first and biggest issue happens almost immediately. There is no reason for anything in the movie to be happening. As things progress, it becomes more convoluted and less enjoyable. Maybe it is better for found footage movies to have no plot.

This isn't a mistake, meatsacks! I've been wanting to show you some of the new fictional content I've been working on for awhile now. And the week of Halloween seemed like a great time to do it. This week, I'll be sharing five of my favorite Nightmare Fuels with you here on the Timesuck feed, staring with this story I wrote back in March. It's 1989 and a pawn shop owner has found some chilling home video footage of two film students investigating an urban legend set inside a local abandoned insane asylum. Hope you like it! This episode was scored by Logan Keith. We recommend listening with headphones to experience the full effect of all the creepy background noises. If you like this episode, please let us know wherever you rate and review podcasts. For more episodes of Nightmare Fuel - check out Scared to Death's podcast feed where I've been releasing two a month since February of 2024. Thanks!! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
