No cheap jumpscares or buckets of fake blood - just the intimation that something awful could happen at any minute is enough to make some horror lovers (including me) hide their eyes with their fingers. They rely mainly on tension and buildup to scare the audience. And the big scare that Lake Mungo builds towards finally happens within the film’s final ten minutes. Laura Barne’s vicious demon is the last thing we see in Unfriended same goes for Katie in Paranormal.
Don’t get me wrong, the rest of the film can still be terrifying, but there are no gory or disturbing visuals until the final moments or towards the end at least. With films such as Unfriended, Paranormal Activity, or Lake Mungo, there are little to no visual frights throughout the film - until the very end. I’ll watch just about any found footage film and through my extensive watching, I’ve observed a certain formula.
An area of the genre that I feel the most comfortable exploring is found footage.
I love watching horror films and I'll finish them, but I will still be absolutely petrified. I’m a horror fanatic, but I’m also a nervous viewer.
