Even if you’re a horror film enthusiast, found footage horror is somewhat of a divisive subgenre – which is fair, since most of them rely on cheap gimmicks that help mask low budgets and bad effects. But for some, it’s regarded as a more realistic and engrossing form of filmmaking, if done well.
Posing to be a collection of footage gathered by a documentary team and also found footage from their cameras, the film shows extreme paranormal events while maintaining the mockumentary style with frequent intertitles explaining the situation. Despite its share of clichés, the film’s rooted premise of Thai demonology coupled with top-notch performances from its Thai cast truly ensures that The Medium can easily get under your skin.
It is Jill Larson’s performance as Deborah that makes the film worth watching. In one scene, she seems like the sweet old lady next door. A few moments later, she’s a demon from your worst nightmares. Deborah’s deteriorating mental state, which has weighed heavily on Sarah, creates a shared mania that almost makes the increasingly abnormal events seem within reason.
M. Night Shyamalan is no stranger to lovers of cinema, and although The Visit may not be one of his best-known films, it’s a decent entry to the found footage subgenre. Littered with poor rapping skills exhibited by the younger brother in the film , The Visit is best described as startling, rather than terrifying. If you actually enjoy found footage films, then The Visit is worth a watch.
Noroi: The Curse Over the years, this Japanese horror film has become a classic for found footage lovers — not only because of its unconventional way of storytelling, but because it successfully manages to blur the lines between fiction and reality.
