Before Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project and even the criminally underrated The Last Broadcast was Ghostwatch. While it didn't really define found footage like the aforementioned movies did (technically, 1980's Cannibal Holocaust was the first to do it), it was one of the first films to have the characters film a majority of their scenes. Ghostwatch is a mockumentary about four respected presenters and their camera crew who attempt to discover the truth behind the most haunted house in the UK, which first aired in 1992. Ghostwatch is complete with testimonials, calls to the set from viewers, and live footage shot by the camera crew, making the viewer feel like they're watching a legitimate documentary. This does start out rather slowly, making the most of the documentary-style filmmaking, but after that gimmick starts to wear off, the film switches to more of a horror film. The last half of the plot takes twists and turns that you'll never predict while still scaring you senseless. If you're a fan of mockumentaries or ghost movies in general, you don't want to pass up Ghostwatch.

9/10
