Found Footage (2011)


A tight hour-long movie depicting the transformation into a documentarian serial killer of adult loser Darius (Matt Doran), Samuel Bartlett and Matt Doran's "Found Footage" takes a grim, gritty approach to its subject matter that leaves a bad taste in the mouth the way it really should.

Even if you're not a weirdo like me, I recommend giving it a chance.
