Yeah, I am legitimately confused why the reviews have been so bad. I can kind of understand the frustration with Philosopher's Stone/Dante's Inferno/spooky found footage combination, but that aside, it's a well-done movie. It doesn't deserve 26%!
It could’ve been better, but what made it interesting is that the catacombs are real, so it gave it that chilling experience of what could be down there
As Above, So Below got a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes?! What in the hell? It's an amazingly creative movie and among my fav found footage movies. Definitely a must watch, glad it's on here.
Yeah, but the ending was kind of weak. The moment she realized what she had to do to get out, they escaped very easily. She even went around slapping away monsters ( which was kinda ridiculous)
@@nessyness5447 I agree. I loved the movie up until how abrupt and effortless it was for them to escape. Still, at worst it's a 6/10, definitely not 2/10.
i was so ready for Grave Encounters to be on this list. i think it’s one of the most effective found footage movies ever. the plot line is similar to As Above So Below in that the crew gets stuck in this endless hell scape in the abandoned psychiatric hospital theyre filming in. plus, the actual creatures we get shots of are honestly horrifying instead of just scene after scene of things moving on their own and hearing weird noises. 10/10, definitely recommend
I remember watching that on an early smart phone on a flightline in a storm while me and a handful of my subordinates were huddled in the main landing gear well of a KC-135 during the night shift. Really added to the scare factor of the movie 😂
Hi, you must be new here. Allow me to present to you to WhatCulture, where you can always find mispronounced names, butchered films, spoilers (w/o any sort of alert) and ofc wrong genres being thrown around like confetti. You need to watch their vids as pure entertainment only. Don't come here trying to find useful or correct information or you'll be very disappointed. In fact, my advise would be that you should come here to laugh about all the things they do wrong and their ever present mistakes. Believe me: you'll enjoy theirs vid much much more.
@@jesk743 That's not all. You wanna know their latest? I made a timestamp list of all the listed movies with a warning to NOT watch the vid to prevent spoilers around 10-15 min ago. Wanna know what the WC crew did? They DELETED my post. Ain't they a cool gang? (－‸ლ) I'm still gonna keep watching their vids but...oh, boy.
I honestly don't understand the hype around Lake Mungo. Found it to be underwhelming and boring--and I love found footage flicks and all things horror! Not for me I guess
@@TheEthanAndKyleShow lake mungo is more a mystery movie than horror you have to understand the way the story is told and actually follow the story then u understand why people find it so good and freaky every part of the movie is told in reverse it would make a bloody good book
Hell House LLC should definitely be on here. Also Savageland - it’s a documentary-style movie centred around images found on a roll of photographic film. I think it’s fantastic, and very scary.
Creep & especially Creep 2 will go down in history as two of my favorite movies of all time. The eeriness & mystery of "Joe" & his motives in the first one as well as his genuine fondness for Aaron in the first movie, followed by the surprising, brilliantly manipulative character Sara, & awkward chemistry of the protagonists make both the movies thrilling & hilarious while able to keep you on your toes in suspense throughout. Mark Duplass is something else & I really wish they'd make a 3rd.
the marked ones was very refreshing after part 4. well executed. I do love ghost dimension the most, tho. bringing in the camera obscura was the best decision they made, i felt. but TMO was pretty close.
Although I'm not sure if it really classifies as horror, Trollhunter has some genuine tense moments and is worth a watch for sure, but original REC. is my fave found footage...
If What We Do In the Shadows counts as horror, then Trollhunter definitely should. Trollhunter is genuinely creep and scary throughout the entire film. What we Do in the Shadows has...werewolves and vampires. Which apparently is enough to make it horror. ffs.
I truly loved Creep! Started watching out of boredom and found a movie that was absolutely original and... well, creepy! Mark Duplass gave a great performance in my opinion.
100%… the world building and ending sequence put it above the others for me… I like anything that retroactively makes the previous movies more substantive in my mind
Totally agreed! That one was dark, spooky and unnerving. 👹👹 Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night was pretty good too as a connection to the regular series.
The thing that I love most about Noroi is the creeping dread that pervades the whole movie. I'm so accustomed to building dead that climaxes and dissipates; it was a whole new experience to see a movie that started tense and only built that tension.
@@Sarahc-mn1tr second one is fine if you see it as the middle ep of a trilogy. i liked the ending for doing something different then the usual "i'm just an evil, unnamed ghost here to kill you and decided not to hold back anymore for some reason"
Its the list about movie which are most important or ones which elevated found footage genre. Hellhouse llc is good but It does not deserve to be in top ten found footage movies ever.
Oh man, how was Grave Encounters 1 and 2 missing from this list? That's probably my all time fav found footage movie. Creep 1 and 2 are also high up there.
@@woooooooo9061 yeah, so long as you're ok with lower budget film making. The atmosphere building and charm of it is awesome. Think of a scenario where Ghost Hunters (US Show) went to an actually haunted sanitarium and are trapped by an evil presence. If you liked the 1999 House on Haunted Hill movie I could basically guarantee you'll like the first movie. The second movie has an AWFUL intro due to character building at a college campus so you're technically ok to skip the first ten or so mins but it's a really awesome conclusion to the story; the two movies end up tying together really well and it ties up great too.
@@woooooooo9061 LOL No, they're not. They're cheesy and a by-the-numbers FF film. Bad acting, even worse FX. There will always be ppl that like something even when it's bad. Don't get fooled by them. If you don't have anything else to watch then by all means go ahead. They have a very SyFy "movie" kind of vibe. So if you like something like Sharknado, Mega Piranha or Raptor Island as a Ghost Hunters spoof then you'll like GE1 and 2. Otherwise stay away from these bc those 190 minutes you're going to lose are never coming back. You've been warned...
@@orpheus.. I'll watch any horror, from "the exorcist" to " killer klownz " or "dawn of the dead remake" to "terrorvision" sharknando isn't on my watch list any time soon.
I went into the theatre having read no reviews or think pieces on As Above So Below and came out going that was so good only to be totally confounded by the RT rating when I looked it up after seeing the film...I loved it for the exact reasons listed in this film, so thanks WCH!
As Above, So Below 🖤 legitimately scary movie, especially if you think it's a found footage with jump scares. No, they literally go to Hell. 7 layers, Dante's Inferno 🔥🔥🖤
i thought that As Above, So Below was not a legitimately a scary movie just because of how unreal the "found footage" felt. that opinion is coming from somebody who's obsessed with found footage horror so i am kinda used to it.
@@macintyre6339 I get it. As Above So Below is a prayer to alchemists. Face value, scary movie. They delve into alchemy and Hell. Underneath is scarier. The movie is an amalgamation of Dante's Inferno, in alchemist veins.
@@wjbt3 I did also like how the main characters did undergo a form of character arc where she does confront her guilt from never answering her dad's last phone call. WHo doesn't love a bit of soul searching where characters overcome their past?
@@macintyre6339 I meant underneath As Above So Below. Like face value, it's just a found footage jump scare movie. It's actually about finding your soul. The movie mirrors Dante's Inferno. Then with the alchemy prayer with the gold they weren't supposed to touch. The movie scared me! They all find their reckoning, most died. 3 lived
Noroi: The Curse and the Hell House LLC films should have been on the list. Both are super good and can be rewatched multiple times and you’ll always find something new that makes them even more chilling.
When it comes to horror, us Aussies aren't exactly the best at it IMO (with the exception of Wolf Creek 1. The 2nd one was shit) but I didn't mind The Tunnel. Has a pretty tense atmosphere to it
@@nelliesilvers1210 Tbh I haven't seen any of the Wolf Creek movies, but I also enjoyed Lake Mungo. It was sad but there were also some genuinely scary moments.
I love the V/H/S franchise so much. They’re all worth watching but the second one is definitely the best and the scariest. I can’t wait for the next one, V/H/S/94.
I highly recommend The Devil's Pass. Such a twisted and horrific ending. It's a slow burn but you'll enjoy the scalding at the of it. Definitely in my top 10.
thanks for giving as above so below the love that it deserves!!!! it’s a great watch, and i’ve found something new every time i’ve watched it!!! one of my top horror flicks.
Few movies that deserve to be on the list: The Pyramid Hell House 1,2,3 Possession of Michael King Devil's Due The Atticus Institute Grave Encounters 1 & 2
I squealed when you mentioned The Sacrament, it's my favorite horror movie and not enough people even know it exists, let alone how great it is. Absolutely horrifying and disturbingly historically accurate, and while Gene Jones is much older than Jim Jones was, he NAILS the character completely, he was brilliant.
Not on the list, but one I really enjoyed watching is JeruZalem. A group of friends are visiting Jerusalem when the gates of Hell open under the city and the streets are taken over by demons.
wow so im not hte only one who saw that fantastic movie. in a society that constantly mocks god and whoever believes in it, while worshiping science like a religion, a movie like this was doomed to be relegated to oblivion. if you liked TPoMK i strongly recommend "The possession of David O'reilly". basically the same title, but a very different take on the subject.
I really like your breakdown! It is true to the genre! Love every movie that you described.. especially Cloverfield and Creep. Troll Hunter, leaving DC, Be My Cat, M.O.M. and Butterfly Kisses are often overlooked. There are sooo many more good ones out there and sub-genres too if you really dig into it.
I loved your list! I also think Sanitorium should be on it and The Pyramid..and Jeruzalem ! Awesome.. a bit way out there but man these 3 pack a punch and lots of scares..
Rorschach is a little known FF movie about a haunted house investigation. Has a very realistic feel to it. Also the mockumentary Savageland is excellent.
You guys definitely got this one right as the first two are the ones I have on my list. The ending of REC traumatized me, Quarantine was a decent try at a remake. And VHS 2 is my fav of the series.
Highly recommend As Above So Below, really enjoyed it, thought it was cleverly shot. VHS 2 is worth the watch at least once. I never go by Rotten Tomatoes scores
Grave Encounters is also a guilty pleasure. Watched it when it first came online ages ago and I’m telling ya, it made battle hardened Marine Corp vets run out of the room 🤣👌
Glad VHS2 made it to the top of the list... although it is the best installment of the entire trilogy; I still think VHS1 is definitely worth a watch!!!!
Cloverfield is my fav of them all but every one of the films are worth watching! All well done! “The Houses that October Built” is also a really good movie done in found footage style! 10/10
As Above So Below was a really good movie, I liked it a lot. Of course, it still had the typical flaws of a horror movie (stupid/reckless characters) but it was very interesting as a concept and I enjoyed it.
What We Do in the Shadows is one of my favorite movies and the series is becoming even better. However, why is it being considered a found footage movie and not a mockumentary? There's a documentary crew following them around and interviewing them.
I love vhs 2, I will admit my favorite segment is the alien abduction one, to this day it still terrifies me due to the way the gray aliens are directed
[Rec] was a really good movie, super entertaining. I recommend watching it on Crackle as it's the original Spanish version with English subtitles, everywhere else seems to be dubbed
Children of Sorrow, Home Movie, Grave Encounters 2, Hell House LLC 2, Noroi, Session 9, The Poughkeepsie Tapes, Malevolent, Ghostwatch and The Devil's Doorway are all also great.

I'm so glad I ignored the rotten tomatoes rating for As above, So Below. Such a great movie.
was about to comment the same. watched it last week and absolutly loved it
Yeah, I am legitimately confused why the reviews have been so bad. I can kind of understand the frustration with Philosopher's Stone/Dante's Inferno/spooky found footage combination, but that aside, it's a well-done movie. It doesn't deserve 26%!
It could’ve been better, but what made it interesting is that the catacombs are real, so it gave it that chilling experience of what could be down there
Ive realized that you miss out on some great movies if you just go by critics. If you think youll like something then give it a shot no matter what
The critic's rating on RT is more of a pseudointellectual circlejerk while it seldom reflects the overall watchedness of the rated movie.
As Above, So Below got a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes?! What in the hell? It's an amazingly creative movie and among my fav found footage movies. Definitely a must watch, glad it's on here.
I agree, a gave it a watch a while back on Netflix to see how it is and now it is one of my favorite films of all time.

I just watched it and the sequel today. I think the second expands and explores interesting topics.
I feel like Noroi: The Curse should be on here. One of my personal favorites
The one movie from the Japanese horror takeover that didn’t make it to the U.S. and criminally under-seen
It's such a good slow burn
I don't know, i've always found Noroi extremely boring. But i understand the appeal.
Yes. That movie haunts me for days. And I haven't gotten sleep the night I watched that film. It's one of my best japanese horror.
definitely agree, if there's ever a foreign found footage list or something similar i hope it makes a feature because it's such a gem
If you haven't seen Hell House LLC, do yourself a favor and watch it. By far the BEST horror movie I've seen in years
Loved it. And while the other two films aren't as good I liked watching them to follow up the story.
But if you hate clowns, do so at your own risk!
Yes!!! The Director's Cut 🔥🔥🔥
it's mid.
Yes it was great can’t believe it’s gone so much under the radar for us horror fans
What We Do in the Shadows isn't found footage. It's a mockumentary, like This is Spinal Tap.

It was the only movie on the list that I haven't seen. I might try to find it, I do like horror comedy, just not as much as true horror.

Both are very good...
Another one to check out is "Horror in the high desert"
@@michaelcalland801 thanks! I've never heard of it, I'll check it out. :)
One more vote for Noroi. So far, one of the best excuses for the found footage format I've ever seen, and by far the scariest.

they're my ultimate favorite films ever. the way the 2nd finished off, there almost HAS to be a 3rd man.... I'm waiting so impatiently.
Mine too.... 🌝 Does that mean we are creepy?
Part 2 sucked. Nobody even died. So anticlimactic
The Tunnel so deserves to be on this list. Such a hidden gem if a movie.
Not really. The movie ruins its own tension by revealing from the beginning who survives the whole thing.
yeah... that's my fave movie too... like yk? is it underrated?
Dude thank you for advocating for As Above So Below. That is a grossly underrated film. One of the best in my opinion
The Catacombs are on my bucket list!
The Atticus Institute and The Taking of Deborah Logan are also amazing.
The taking of Deborah Logan was pretty good
I have watched The Atticus Institute over a dozen times and I still love it every time!! Excellent suggestion!
Rec will always be the best and most terrifying Found Footage film ever
I agree, haven't watched 3 and 4 yet cuz they said it's bad.
@@duskvz7305 : No [REC] sequel could surpass the original because the main element of surprise is missing.
I don't know how many people share this sentiment, but I feel like The Marked Ones was the best Paranormal Activity
Yess!! Was definitely my favourite aswell, in fact I watch it more than I should 😂 it has my favourite vibe out of all of the activities
the marked ones was very refreshing after part 4. well executed. I do love ghost dimension the most, tho. bringing in the camera obscura was the best decision they made, i felt. but TMO was pretty close.
@@RaptorNX01 yesssss 100%!! Ghost dimension was friggin awesome 👍🏻😎. Good choice.
As Above So Below may be the most underrated Found Footage film
Its getting the recognition it deserves now.
Its a movie you would wanna watch again and again.
Abso shite movie
Although I'm not sure if it really classifies as horror, Trollhunter has some genuine tense moments and is worth a watch for sure, but original REC. is my fave found footage...
I went in to troll hunter thinking it was going to be a total joke and ended up freaking loving it
I personally think that Trollhunter is the best found footage movie that has been made until now. Really love the movie
@@Soba_San Have you seen Cloverfield? It felt real imo dispite knowing its fake.

Paranormal Activity 3 is my fave of the series... The bathroom scene still scares the crap outta me!
100%… the world building and ending sequence put it above the others for me… I like anything that retroactively makes the previous movies more substantive in my mind
Noroi: the curse deserves a place here
I watched that a few months ago and it is definitely a hidden gem on Shudder.
Totally agreed! That one was dark, spooky and unnerving. 👹👹
Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night was pretty good too as a connection to the regular series.
A masterpieca
The thing that I love most about Noroi is the creeping dread that pervades the whole movie. I'm so accustomed to building dead that climaxes and dissipates; it was a whole new experience to see a movie that started tense and only built that tension.
I would’ve added Hell House. I’ve only seen 1 and 2 but really enjoyed them. The plot line was somewhat unique and it kept me interested throughout.
I enjoyed the first one, is the 2nd one anywhere near as good? I might give it a watch👍
The second one sucked in my opinion. I enjoyed the 1st and 3rd movies. I will watch 2 with it for continuiry
@@Sarahc-mn1tr second one is fine if you see it as the middle ep of a trilogy. i liked the ending for doing something different then the usual "i'm just an evil, unnamed ghost here to kill you and decided not to hold back anymore for some reason"

Totally! Even some of the lesser stories are fun to watch.
It really is
@First Last While the wraparound stories tend to be weird, practically non-existent, or just boring, the individual segments are pretty good.
viral was boring as fuck in my opinion. the only good segment was the one with the scientist.
VHS2 is still my favorite found footage horror
Except the new one VHS 94, which is utter pants.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes deserved at least an honorable mention.
That movie was so messed up. A few scenes still live rent free in my head.

I’m so happy V/H/S 2 was here! But where is Hell House LLC?!

Love it.
Hi.
My mom and I loved that movie!
Wonderful selection!! I love them all! Seen them all tho! But you got it right!
Saw a comment here saying *The Bay* is underrated and theyre right!!!!! It was an eerie unnerving eco-horror found footage that really felt real af
Not on the list, but one I really enjoyed watching is JeruZalem. A group of friends are visiting Jerusalem when the gates of Hell open under the city and the streets are taken over by demons.
I am actually a fan of The Visit. Technically not "found" footage, as it was never lost, but I found it highly entertaining.
Surprised not to see Exhibit A on this list-among the most horrifying movies I’ve seen
Again, I will recommend The Possession of Michael King. A unique take on a possession movie.
Love that flick! In other words - How to become a believer 🙂
I just finished this and yeah I definitely enjoyed it
wow so im not hte only one who saw that fantastic movie.
in a society that constantly mocks god and whoever believes in it, while worshiping science like a religion, a movie like this was doomed to be relegated to oblivion.

Troll Hunter, leaving DC, Be My Cat, M.O.M. and Butterfly Kisses are often overlooked. There are sooo many more good ones out there and sub-genres too if you really dig into it.
Nice unique touches with Butterfly M.O.M Cat and Leaving DC. even though I haven't seen them aside from Cat it gives me motivation to seek them out.
I loved your list! I also think Sanitorium should be on it and The Pyramid..and Jeruzalem ! Awesome.. a bit way out there but man these 3 pack a punch and lots of scares..
Rorschach is a little known FF movie about a haunted house investigation. Has a very realistic feel to it. Also the mockumentary Savageland is excellent.
You guys definitely got this one right as the first two are the ones I have on my list. The ending of REC traumatized me, Quarantine was a decent try at a remake. And VHS 2 is my fav of the series.
Mockumentary isn't "Found Footage."
Thank you.
Agreed!
while i agree is not the case for WWDITS, a movie can be both, like The Bay or the blair witch
Noroi the curse, quite possibly the best found footage film ever
Savagelands. The BEST film made documentary style/found footage type movie I've ever seen Really creepy as the story unfolds. Real gem here.
“What We Do In The Shadows” is my favorite.
Highly recommend As Above So Below, really enjoyed it, thought it was cleverly shot. VHS 2 is worth the watch at least once. I never go by Rotten Tomatoes scores
Grave Encounters is also a guilty pleasure. Watched it when it first came online ages ago and I’m telling ya, it made battle hardened Marine Corp vets run out of the room 🤣👌
Glad VHS2 made it to the top of the list... although it is the best installment of the entire trilogy; I still think VHS1 is definitely worth a watch!!!!
The Dyatlov Pass Incident, The Bay, The Tunnel and Trolljegeren (Trollhunter) deserve a spot on this list ;-)
It's a good day when I'm 20 minutes early to a WhatCulture video
I love the first mention already! Great movie!
Cloverfield is my fav of them all but every one of the films are worth watching! All well done! “The Houses that October Built” is also a really good movie done in found footage style! 10/10
Spot on. These are all great films.
The tunnel from 2011 should be on the list, it is one of the best found footage movies I know of
Just watched that one recently it was pretty damn good. Definitely keeps you on edge the whole movie.
"As Below So Above" is way too underrated. This movie is really good. And has some great twits and turns. The ending is just mindblowing.
Agreed, As Above So Below is CRIMINALLY underrated.
Hey! Just miss "Grave Encounters" in this ranking. Great movie and pretty scary!
Its one of my favourite with As Above,So below.
Good list!!!
Thank you!
Grave encounters is a good one! 👍
Is it just me or is rec really good all of them
As Above So Below was a really good movie, I liked it a lot. Of course, it still had the typical flaws of a horror movie (stupid/reckless characters) but it was very interesting as a concept and I enjoyed it.
Lake Mungo is a hidden gem and VHS 2 is just brilliant! Creepy and scary! Shame VHS Viral didn't follow on the greatest of 1 and 2.
The first grave encounters was excellent too
I am so glade as below so below & Rec made it onto the list. They're both great movies that not many know about
I just really can't bring myself to watch Creep. He's so AWKWARD.
Thats the whole point. He makes you feel really uncomfortable. Creep 2 is more like it.
I suggest you watch both. Its something fresh.
Creep is dope af if you give it a chance
@@Death_by_Kim_Yoohyeon It keeps ending up on my list so it's only a matter of time.
Ha
You definitely left out The Taking of Deborah Logan. One of the best found footage films I've seen in a long time. Also Grave Encounters 2!
Would love to see more love for The Bay
me too!!!
One of my favorite sub genres when done right. I’m actually going to be watching one here soon I haven’t seen called Lake Mungo.
It's great, really original.
@@woooooooo9061 Awesome. The trailer sold me so I’m excited to check it out.
@@megamoviez I recently watched "The Borderlands" after hearing good reviews, I was not disappointed👍
What We Do in the Shadows is one of my favorite movies and the series is becoming even better. However, why is it being considered a found footage movie and not a mockumentary? There's a documentary crew following them around and interviewing them.
Thanks
I love vhs 2, I will admit my favorite segment is the alien abduction one, to this day it still terrifies me due to the way the gray aliens are directed
Why isn't The Bay from 2012 here? It was fantastic. So happy I was told to watch it because most found footage movies are miss.
Noroi: The Curse hits my horror nerves the way I want it, and Trollhunter is really god aswell!
Loved all of the vhs movies
I've seen 9 of them and agree that they are all very good and worthy of watching more than once
Ookkk love the list 👀
A low budget one I watched quite by accident and was bloody good is Willow Creek. The middle bit trapped in the tent is so scary and well acted 🙌🏼
One movie (If I remember correctly) that was found footage and pretty good was Noroi The Curse
A new one that came out in 2021 is called The Deep House. It's actually pretty good I was very impressed. I'm addicted to these types of movies.
[Rec] was a really good movie, super entertaining. I recommend watching it on Crackle as it's the original Spanish version with English subtitles, everywhere else seems to be dubbed
I'm here for how much shade was thrown at VHS 3 in that edit!
i agree with these for sure. Another couple of lesser known gems are Savage Land, and Butterfly Kisses. Also Dark Mountain. These are all very good.
Awesome
vhs2 is underrated. Too good.
As Above, So Below has a special place in my heart as the movie that kick started my love for horror movies
As Above, So Below... Creepy & GOOD!!!
The camera on the fan in PA3 still gives me chills.
One movie that deserves love is The Bay. The fact it could happen makes it such a scary experience.
As Above So Below is one of my favorites❤️
Children of Sorrow, Home Movie, Grave Encounters 2, Hell House LLC 2, Noroi, Session 9, The Poughkeepsie Tapes, Malevolent, Ghostwatch and The Devil's Doorway are all also great.
Hell House LLC needs a spot on here. It is so good 👍🏼
All 3 flick's!
