Horror Watch 2025 - Day 14 - Found Footage (2025)

  Disappointing.  Content warning:  some blood, some (not enough) gore 

A professional documentary crew decides to follow an amateur independent filmmaker, Chase (Brennan Keel Cook), as he tries to make a found footage horror film about Bigfoot.   Unfortunately, the only budget-friendly (i.e., free) location available is a cabin time-share owned by 1st Assistant Director/Chase's girlfriend Natalie's (Erika Vetter) parents.  The crew accidentally knocks over a decorative ash circle in the basement while trying to store some gear and frees something that damn sure isn't Bigfoot.

I love a good mockumentary and I hate found footage so I thought this was going to be a slam dunk but it's not.  It's not funny enough to be a comedy, not witty enough to be a satire about film-making, and not bloody enough to be good horror.  Swing and a miss.  It's streaming on Amazon Prime.
