There’s not a more overwrought and overused genre trope as the found footage format, at least in terms of direct to DVD movies, with many film makers using the format in place of having a decent story. Which means – at least for me – the sub-genre has become something of a nadir when it comes to horror.

And now you can add Aussie horror Prying Eyes (such a poor re-title of There’s Something in the Pilliga) to the list.

Craig Dilouie is an author of fiction. Some of his titles include The Infection and Tooth and Nail. Some of these books have been reviewed on this site. Dilouie has taken the time to compile a "Best of" list, which focuses on zombie horror short films. His list is titled "My Top 10 List of Apocalyptic Short Films." One of the features from this list, titled "Perished," is here. Fans of zombie horror and film are invited to take a look at all of the films on Dilouie's list, which is linked below. "Perished" is an award winning film. Also, this title has seen several film festivals. And, the film involves a survivor of a zombie apocalypse. Though, survivor is a term used loosely. Film fans can watch as one man faces starvation and isolation, while looking to escape a zombified city. Viewers are encouraged to watch the title, until the end.
