Found footage seems tailor-made for horror because it’s typically built around the idea that the footage was lost or hidden for suspicious reasons. The genre’s signature use of wobbly camerawork and raw dialogue places audiences directly in the shoes of a film’s panicked characters as nightmarish situations unfold.
