The “found footage” film trend is one that outstayed it’s welcome two minutes into the end credits of The Blair Witch Project. Too many so-called filmmakers were just slapping amateurish shaky-cam footage on top of mediocre scripts in the hope that it’s “realism” factor would pull in the crowds, while it’s cheap production costs would guarantee them profit.
But a select few managed to truly make effective use of the genre tropes by offering an in-your-face voyeuristic intensity. Films like Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield, Rec 1 & 2 and Quarantine.
And now Chronicle firmly takes its place in the upper echelons of that exclusive list.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
THANK YOU! I'm so glad other people enjoyed this one. The same goes for Quarantine. Fantastic film. :)
