Found Footage AND 3D at their best

As someone who's not the biggest fan of found footage, and pretty sceptical of 3D, I went into this one quite unsure. But from the first few minutes of the film, I knew this was something very different. It achieves something very rare...it manages to be meta and satirical about films of the found footage genre while simultaneously rising above them. This is something that Cabin in the Woods attempted but, to me, didn't manage. Found Footage 3D absolutely does. It's a shining example of how the found footage genre can still work to give that added level of realism that makes the scares all the scarier, that immerses you more fully with the characters and situations. The 3D adds to this effect as well, justifying itself as more than just a gimmick. The film manages to get the most out of its genre and 3D format by avoiding the usual pitfalls they encounter. The fact that it is tightly scripted and well-acted means we don't have to suffer the usual ramblings of found footage type characters. The characters also aren't universally contemptible as they too often are in these types of films. They feel real and we care about what happens to them.

I say a huge bravo to all the team who've pulled off something really quite remarkable here - taking two maligned formats and breathing new life into them, which I believe is driven all the way by the director's genuine love for horror storytelling. I watched this at FrightFest and can vouch that the audience reaction was one of the best I've seen at a horror festival...genuine screams as well as plenty of laughs and a hearty applause at the end. If this screens anywhere near you, please go see it.
