The Fear Footage 2: Curse of the Tape (2020)
Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear
A couple of years ago I watched a movie called the Fear Footage and it became a bit of a running joke between me and my friends. We'd say that the movie scale was Fear Footage to Shawshank Redemption, that it was the movie all bad movies should be measured by and made the Sharknado films look like the Godfather series.
Well because it became such a big deal for us we all tracked their being a sequel and laughed in awe at the trailer, when my man pal Jason bought it for me as a joke present we excitedly sat together to watch this inevitable masterpiece and laughed from start to finish.
Like the first one it looks awful, the whole thing is so amateurish it makes Birdemic look like it had Hollywood level special effects teams. The sound guy must have fallen asleep because there was no consistency there and the story? Well I'm being nice saying there is one, this is an unintentional comedy almost like a two Ronnies sketch show but with bad lighting.
Is it worse than the first? I'd say they're on the same level and arguably the same film really. I'd like to thank Ricky Umberger and the whole team behind these movies, I haven't laughed this hard in years.
Keep your awful student looking films coming!
The Fear Footage (2018)
Disappointment of the year
I remember watching the trailer on youtube for fear footage and being excited about it as I really like found footage movies and this looked like it had the potential to be really scary. I followed the Facebook page intently getting all the updates but was always sad I couldn't get to any of the viewings and there really weren't enough of them anyway. When the admin told me that it was coming to dvd and amazon I was very happy but it kept getting delayed and delayed so I decided to be naughty and saw it on putlocker I go gave it a go. Sat with a bag of warm popcorn to my left and doggie to the right I settled in for the movie I'd waited all this time for and could have cried when the credits rolled. It was so bad, I felt like I was promised some revolutionary incredible movie but what I got was a childish movie that's made me lose faith in the genre altogether. It was so bad I don't know what else I can say, I feel lied to and the guilt I had briefly for not buying the dvd went out the window. It's awful it looks like someone made it on their phone and cast there family members as cast and crew AND IT SHOWS. I wouldn't mind it being badly made if it were at least scary but all this you'll never sleep again, sleep with the lights on and it'll stick with you afterwards is all lies. It's not scary at all it's just boring and does what every other found footage movie does and thats hide the lack of budget by having nothing actually happen. Sorry folks over at the Facebook page but you'll be seeing minus one follower from your page.
