I say check it out... The trailer didn't do it justice... It had it's creepy moments and the end was intense and great!

Agree with Chrono about Atrocious & Marked Ones.

Btw, like to recommend some underrated or less discussed interesting FF flicks....

Paranormal Activity 2 - Not as scary as PA1 but still pretty entertaining. 6/10

Paranormal Activity 3 - Flashy but quite scary. 7/10

Paranormal Activity 4 - Horribly silly and boring. 2/10

[REC] - Scariest movie I've ever seen and my personal favorite movie. 9/10

[REC]2 - Not as scary as the first one but still intense. 8/10

Cloverfield - Really intense, and I liked the characters and story. 9/10

V/H/S - Uneven but has a couple good parts. 5/10

V/H/S/2 - Every segment was well made but not particularly scary. 7/10

As Above/So Below - Very entertaining and quite scary. 8/10

The Blair Witch Project - Creepy and extremely scary at the end. 9/10

The Tunnel - Really scary and claustrophobic. 8/10

Megan is Missing - Terrible acting and not very shocking. Standard Dateline stuff. 3/10

Devil's Due - Pathetic rip-off of Rosemary's Baby. 2/10

Apollo 18 - soooooooooo stupid, I almost asked the video store if I could rent another one because it sucked so bad!!

I have not seen any of the Grave Encounters.

Paranormal Activity - I have seen all of them but I real enjoyed The Marked Ones the best.

Unfortunately, I missed [Rec] and [Rec] 2 but I watched [Rec] 3 on Netflix recently(instant) and I loved it! I have to watch the other two now!

Hated Cloverfield.

I love the V/H/S movies!! Second one was better!

As Above/So Below - I really want to see this one!!

I love The Blair Witch Project!! I think they did an amazing job making the audience feel like it was real and I really felt like I was a part of the film.

The Tunnel - I will have to check this one out.

Megan is Missing - mediocre but I still enjoyed it.

Devil's Due - terrible!!

Quarantine - I loved the first one, hated the second one.

Reading the thread, I see no one's mentioned Chronicle (2012) except me. I think it's the best one. It's not really horror, but it's found footage.

Anybody else see Chronicle (2012)? What'd ya think?

I really liked that one

I guess looking through the list the only one that really stuck out to me was Man Bites Dog.

Cloverfield was ok in spots.

Cannibal Holocaust was something for it's time period so it has some historical impact.

But I haven't found any of the popular horror ones to be remotely scary or even slightly creepy. Paranormal Activity, REC, V/H/S, Grave Encounters, Blair Witch, etc. none of them really did anything for me other than either make me yawn or feel like I should have picked another movie. After seeing The Blair Witch Project I actually went up to my buddy who worked at the local movie theater and said I wanted my money back. That's only happened like 3 or 4 times in my life.

I liked the idea of Frankenstein's Army. Had it been done as a real film instead of found footage and with a different cast and a decent budget it could have been really cool.

I've seen most of the rest mentioned but none of them were really all that memorable.

I guess I'm still waiting for one that sets a new standard. Man Bites Dog was something new and totally original, but I haven't seen anything from the found footage genre that really stands out as something I haven't seen before or puts a unique spin on something.

Oh, I forgot about Chronicle - I liked that one too (but the fact that I forgot about it doesn't necessarily bode THAT well)... ;)
