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. Found footage has also evolved to encompass other styles, including mockumentaries and screenlife films. There are lots of excellent films to choose from, so let’s rank the best ones to watch as we round out spooky season.
