Day 19 – The Fear Footage – 31 Days Of Horror 2023 (Mini Review)

Day: 19

Film: The Fear Footage

Type: Found Footage

Country: USA

Year: 2018

Christine: 6.8 / 10

There are SO MANY jump scares in this one, but considering it’s VERY low budget, are actually done really well. Effectively, you’re getting 4 movies in one – the main plot is that you are watching the body cam footage of a missing cop who had been called out to a house that had been demolished years back and these were his last moments on tape. Honestly – not a surprise, he is the WORST cop in the world, searching an empty house & decided to play the VCR instead of going into the other rooms? Wild behaviour! On the tapes – there are a series of self-contained films, a kids birthday being ambushed by a creepy clown, a BRILLIANTLY scary short about some stormchasers in a forest and then one where a guy is haunted by noises in his house. I don’t understand how this got so many low ratings on IMDB because I was so unnerved the whole time! Good premise, great scare scenes & an easy watch.

Kenny: 8 / 10

If you can get past the plot hole of the cop going through 3 tapes of footage before properly searching the house then you can really enjoy this one. The amount of jump scares is off the charts, which were actually pretty good to get the heart racing a little bit! Go into this one with a clear mind and appreciate it for what it is.
