🎥 Found Footage & Screenlife

When the camera becomes part of the fear.

This genre plays with perspective—you’re not just watching horror unfold, you’re in it. Often low-budget but high-impact, found footage and screenlife films rely on the illusion of reality. The horror is captured through handheld cameras, livestreams, or screen recordings, pulling audiences into the chaos.

Core Features:

• First-person or screen-based storytelling

• Unreliable narrators and unscripted tension

• Realistic settings that feel familiar

Examples:

• The Blair Witch Project (USA)

• Paranormal Activity series (USA)

• Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (South Korea)

• The Possessed (China)
