I'll have to check it out and see for myself

From the trailer for The Marked Ones, it looks like too much action and not enough actual PA stuff.

7/10 Chronicle 2012 - Very well made photo-realistic FX found footage film. Very interesting story on realistic take on teens gaining telekinesis powers.

7/10 Cloverfield - More than just found footage, but excellently made photo-realistic effects. Thought it was a fresh approach & pretty exciting. Looses quite a bit off the big screen.

6/10 Blair Witch - Very well acted film, much more in personality studies than horror.

5/10 Paranormal Activity - some worthwhile efforts here. I think they needed more material for a full-length feature

4/10 Grave Encounters - came off contrived to me. I thought a more serious, detailed, better researched & more realistic production might have produced one the best & most perennial films ever made. Missed opportunity. Cuts both ways... people who know something about this subject matter know the film was insulting rubbish. And the people most likely to want to see the film are people who know something about the subject matter, who will hate the disparaging bunk.

3/10 Rec - came over very contrived to me. I didn't find it scary. not to mention very unflattering portrayal of asians

-/10 Apollo 18 & Europa Report - shut them off within the first 15 mins. A mission to Europa is very interesting to me. I may give it another shot.

Curious to see Trollhunters, Last Exorcism, Cannibal Apocalypse & Man Bites Dog.

Just being honest. But I am glad you enjoyed it. It was very old hat for me.

Cannibal Holocaust - Cannibal Apocalypse is an entirely different beast.

Oh, right, I meant Holocaust, the found footage film.

Yeah, I found it legitimately creepy, though I agree on the ending (that it was disappointing)... I say give it a shot.

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!


I've recommended it a few times but man, Ghost Team One was really a blast!
