Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Leofwine_draca FOUND FOOTAGE 3D is another predictable and unremarkable addition to the cycle of found footage movies. Once again the setting is a cabin in the woods, haunted by the usual curse or alike, with a crew of filmmakers heading off to investigate. After a while they're attacked by a dodgy CGI 'ink blot' which has come out of the very film they're making. Yes, a few meta-additions to the story mark this as a very 21st century phenomenon, but otherwise it's business as usual and absolutely nothing that hasn't been seen or done before.

theskylerroberts Found Footage 3D is a breath of fresh air for the found footage genre.My personal opinion is that the critical viewers missed the point of the movie. The film is supposed to break down the genre while adding in an element that in theory would make it worse. Yet, the joke is pulled off nicely and actually adds to the story. Granted, I haven't seen in 3D but those who have seem to think the 3D was a strongpoint of the film.Something I worry about is that this may be the nail in the coffin for found footage films. Similar to how Scream was for slasher films, after the deconstruction was done, there hasn't really been a resurgence with the exception of Hatchet and a some select remakes.I understand that the majority is sick of found footage, but I believe many films can benefit from them. I think of films like Cloverfield, VHS, and The Taking of Deborah Logan which were all great films and I don't think would have the same effect if they weren't found footage.

derekjager I saw the 2D version but any film must be told by the story, not the 3D gimmick.The cast is fine, the acting is fine. The problem is there is really no script. While everyone talks about making a GREAT FF film, they have no original idea. The script/story takes place in a cabin. Um, what? They think filming in 3D will make all the difference...but there is ZERO effort on their part to use the silly 3D gimmicks. You never hear or see them trying to make 3D scenes; throwing or poking stuff at the camera. It's so odd because that would have been fun/funny to see.Instead, there is some bad, splotchy CGI of a black ink stain wandering around. There is no backstory every given about this particular haunted cabin other than a guy killed his wife and left the body in the lake...or was that in the script? Regardless, it's never mentioned again, no watery ghost, etc.So we're left with them shooting scenes from a movie that has no plot we're able to follow, accidents happen that...are not explained or talked about much. Why does a shovel fall on a cast member? Why does one women get bloody scratch marks on her arm? Why do they go out drinking at a bar and when they return home and find some things "wrong" in the cabin? These are ll tropes used in FF films--and basic horror films--so it's clear they didn't even TRY to shake things up. The climax also is just what we expect, running in the woods in the dark, a final lunge at the camera by the monster.Because the acting is fine, I was engaged the first 40 mins but then sensed that was it; the premise was set up but they weren't going to do anything but make the same old same old FF film. Which is fine--I like them, but if you're going to boast about making some new and different, that deliver. Or at least try to. Beginning with the title.

vincedegennaro All I can say is wow! Funny, scary, and emotional. What more could you want in a film?The title doesn't do the movie justice. While exploring and criticizing all that has been done wrong in found footage movies, Found Footage 3D is a love letter and does everything right to elevate the genre. The first half of the movie is side-splitting fun, mocking all found footage films but Blair Witch. Strong character development that makes us truly care about the characters as the horror sets in. Once the movie turns frightening, in a shocking way, it is quite intense. Periods of quiet punctuated by gore and jump scares, the laughter fades and you hold your breath. The ending is spectacular, including an innovative split-screen. The 3D is high quality and gives the scenes more depth. It's some of the best 3D that I've seen, making the viewer feel like a part of the action. Overall, this is a must see film. I can't wait for the full theatrical release.
