Welcome to the world of the shaky camera style, hand-held horror movie hysteria & creepy found footage images. Each year new found footage horror movies find their way to the big screen or go straight to online streaming. It has become a genre in its own right, and also more mainstream horror movies have incorporated elements of it. It’s a rather cost-efficient way of filmmaking and a lot of first time indie directors happily take advantage of it. Big classics like Paranormal Activity & The Blair Witch Project have shown the way. Incredibly low costs versus potentially enormous box office revenues. In fact, Paranormal Activity remains the most commercially successful movie to date.

We won’t try and strictly define what constitutes a real found footage horror here. We rather provide an introduction by way of 38 really scary found footage flicks. In our opinion thesee are the best found footage movies available in 2018.
