Earlier we published Horror Movies based on True Events, and when we were preparing this list we thought a film with extreme graphics could spoil the real thrill of watching a movie. Moreover, we should believe or comfort yourself that Ghosts exists when we watch such movies. That’s when we thought of listing out the best interesting movies under “Found Footage” Genre.

Found Footage Horror Thriller Movies

Found footage is a genre of film making, especially horror, in which all or a substantial part of a film is presented as discovered film or video recordings, often left behind by missing or dead protagonists.

        If you have not seen The Dyatlov Pass Incident or The Frankenstein Theory, you are missing out. They, as well as Trollhunter, are my favourite found footage movies.

          Trollhunter is not in English. It’s very hard to read found footage subtitles.
