If you’re making a found footage film that’s entirely from the perspective of a door camera(which is an awesome idea), then you should probably do the following:
-Ensure that basic continuity is followed. The position of the camera never changing makes it incredibly obvious when the very few props we get are moved in between takes. Water bottles and sandwiches appear and disappear, and I don’t think the ghost is responsible.
-Hire actors that are believable and don’t distract from any fear or tension that’s attempting to be crafted because of their cringey line delivery.
-Stage your scenes in a manner that makes sense for both the audience and the characters. Why on earth would someone have their front porch…
When Anne hears creepy noises outside of her new house at night her boyfriend Jeff installs a doorbell camera with two way voice communication. It turns on and records any time something nearby triggers it. He assumes it's just angry neighbors or kid's pulling pranks but she suspects something much more sinister and she may be right.
I wanted to crush a few beers and get a buzz on before finally watching Terrifier 2 so I needed to tackle something short in the meantime. I guess I'll get back on my Isaac Rodriguez bullshit! His one hour low budget horror flicks are perfect for times like this. Enter Unknown Visitor.
Unknown Visitor is entirely shot on a doorbell camera which…
Liked the concept
Poorly Poorly executed
My focus was more on that sandwich.. haha
🍷🚬
A found footage horror flick taken entirely from a door camera. You'd think with just one shot the entire film, they'd be able to avoid continuity errors.
Still, this was pretty entertaining with two jump scares (yeah, yeah, I know you hate them) that worked pretty well.
The idea of having a horror flick take place entirely on a door cam while being stalked by something or someone is an interesting idea. We always have fears of someone stalking us. From someone who was recently broken into, and I had to fight off the blokes, I’m always on alert now. I think we all have fears of someone stalking us while we’re home alone, and trying to break in. So I was like “Come on, Horror! Play around with my fears!” With this Interesting found footage style format. But this idea is butchered. This doorcam idea just comes off as the cheapest gimmick ever, Where the director wants to add every bit of a narrative possibility in this,…
I love found footage flicks and I thought this one, despite its low ratings, might do something interesting with its ring doorbell vehicle, but alas.
Gal's paranoid freaking out about noises at night and so gets the video bell at the behest of her boyfriend. Actually, I don't know if he's her boyfriend or some guy that likes her? But any case, both of them were pretty terrible actors so it might've just been that making me unsure of their relationship. He ends up being a totally tool.
Things start happening, but we get a lot of static shots of the porch, nothing going on, and weird glitches that only served to mask upcoming jumpscares. Which I don't know why…
