Saw this movie finally after seeing one of the Producers talk at an event - boy did Scott E Weinberg talk up a turd! This is one of the worst movies out there but plays out like a guy learning how to use his camcorder. Mr. Weinberg took most of the credit for this film saying he basically directed it too, that the director was always too high to direct. And it shows! Avoid like the plague.

I love found footage films but this one is just a complete waste of my time which I wont get back :(Short version: Its basically a documentary film on how to totally suck at trying to make a found footage film - and they cant even get that right!Im 40 minutes in and i'm already wanting to throw something at my TV... i'm done!.. I can't stand to watch anymore - rage boredom has now set in!!!There is nothing about this film that makes it interesting or different! They spend far too much time talking about 3D cameras, in fact they spend far too much time talking full stop! Non of the talking is relevant - This should be in the talk show / fail documentary section next to the section of films that have been massively over-hyped and overrated by those who are behind them.The only horror behind this is the poor acting, crud story line and the fact they have the cheek to call it a horror film.If like watching those with self-importance then this is for you.Don't say you weren't warned!

I love found footage movies; I can find something good in the most incompetently-shot, horribly-acted found footage film. So let's get that out of the way: this movie has one really inspired scene of gore. The actors also do the best they can with what they're given - they are competent (particularly Beardy Sound Guy - love him), and they deserve better.Now, the bad: this movie, in an attempt to be edgy and self-aware, has its characters constantly pointing out the flaws in found footage movies. How they're all so terrible, how there's no reason to be filming all of this, how jump scares are dumb, and so on. It then goes on to indulge in all of those flaws, as though lampshading their use somehow forgives the filmmaker's transgressions.Spoiler: it does not. If this movie took those found footage tropes and turned them on their head, or put a novel spin on them, all of this winking at the audience could be forgiven. Instead, the filmmaker chooses to dutifully plod through FF clichés, to the point of lifting lines and shots from other, better films. They also commit the cardinal sin of naming better movies. Look, guys, if your movie sucks, you should not shout out to other movies -- it just reminds the audience that they could be spending their time with a better quality of entertainment.And, unfortunately, if you take out all of this winking and sneering, what you are left with is a very bland film. The scares are non-existent. The monster is the definition of boring. The characters are the worst kind of clichés, so much so that I don't know any of their names -- they are simply THE DOUCHE, THE PRIMA DONNA, THE QUIET GUY, THE DORK, THE OTHER GIRL, THE PRODUCER WHO INSISTED ON A SPEAKING ROLE, and Beardy Sound Guy, who I really liked. You'd think that as much time as the characters spend shouting out each others' names, one would have stuck, but nope.The best thing you can say about this film is that it is "competent". There are words, and they sound like they were spoken by humans. There are pictures, and you can generally see them. There is a location, and it looks like a place in the real world. But, honestly, I am willing to tolerate a bit of incompetence for some inventiveness, and that is one thing that this film SORELY lacks. I think I understand what they were going for, but for me, it didn't work. Unless the goal was to point out how bland, illogical, and uninspired found footage movies have become by making a bland, illogical, uninspired found footage movie...in which case, good job!

I don't like found footage movies. Even the ones I've come close to liking I felt would have been better if they had dropped the found footage aspect. The Blair Witch Project made me want to ask for my money back. That said, I loved Found Footage 3D!Found Footage 3D starts out as a legitimately funny satire of found footage horror films and, before you know it, it becomes a legitimately scary found footage horror film. The filmmaker handled the switch between spoof and horror so well that you barely notice it until you find yourself thinking, "Hey, when did that happen?" The cast is excellent, the story is well-developed and engaging, and the cinematography is great with some shots that make subtle but impressive use of 3D.I wasn't sure what to expect going into this movie given my general dislike of the found footage genre, but I walked away impressed by the discovery of a found footage film that I enjoyed. If you are a fan of found footage, you'll appreciate the ways this movie pokes fun at the genre yet becomes a unique entry into the steadily growing list of found footage films. If like me, you haven't been a fan of found footage, you should give this movie a chance. You might find yourself surprised.
