Do You Need Help With the Title of a Horror Movie/Book/TV Series? Bring it here!

[rhythmandtheecho]

it's fairly new came out around 04-06? the one where they sign up to go on a reality show in the wilderness and end up being picked off? it's kind a of wrong turn spin off...please i won't to watch this movie again...

A close friend of mine, who is not easily scared, recently watched a movie that he claims was so scary that he said "i am doing you a favor by not telling you the name." He knows I am up for the challenge, which is why he wont tell me. I NEED to find out the name of this movie.

Here is everything I was able to peel off him:

It came out within the past 10 years
It is not a major hollywood movie
It deals with paranormal type stuff
Follows a "based on a true story" format
It is not gory and kind of low budget
Deals with situations where the odds are so against the characters that there is no hope and no possible route for escape.
It is probably Japanese or American.
It might be "found footage"

I thought it might be "Paranormal Entity" but it is not.

I wish I had more to go on, this is not going to get very far...

I guess we can start with what movies scared the hell out of you that fit this criteria.

Could be Paranormal Activity, I guess. I didn't find it very scary, but your friend may have.

Doesn't fit the 10 year bracket (came out in '98), but otherwise sounds like it could be The Last Broadcast, perhaps?

[REC] would be another outside possibility...doesn't fit perfectly though.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/

Honestly though, your description fits hundreds of movies...any more info?

PS - This will likely get merged with the Sticky in this forum once there's a mod around. Just a heads up so you can find it.

Series 7 was a cool dig at reality shows too... well worth a watch.

I enjoyed the original Wrong Turn but keep forgetting to check out the sequel.

Just keep on forgetting.It's not that great.

It's got Rollins in it so I've gotta check it out :D

He's the best part. That movie blows...except for Rollins. Feast wasn't great and Henry added some to that film, but in this one, Rollins is the only reason to watch.
