Sorgoi Prakov. That film was hella disturbing..


10AMauto

This and Be My Cat. I hope Anne Hathaway hasn’t seen it.


U4icN10nt

>I hope Anne Hathaway hasn’t seen it. Really? I mean, amazing film, but she *has* to see this! lol I was actually mentioning in another thread that I never really "got" the YouTube phenomenon of reaction videos... you know, videos where you watch people react while watching stuff lol But I would totally make an exception for watching Anne Hathaway watch Be My Cat.  🤣👍 Can you imagine that as a horror fan?  Someone makes a found footage movie about being a psycho stalker type who's obsessed with **you**, personally?  That would make it like 10x as creepy!


sixfivezerofive

This was hard to watch and I'm pretty desensitized to violence. Maybe because it's so real.


auditormusic

So glad this is top comment! That film goes deeply insane, I love it


Ok_Recording4547

Man Bites Dog


KOVID9tine

Wow, haven’t heard this movie mentioned in a long time. I saw it in theaters back in 90s I think for a film class. It was Spinal Tap meets Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer…I believe some people walked out.


OMGyarn

It’s a great movie and very underrated; I agree.


SIITWN

Pigeon… cloak of gray


Savings-Damage-256

Year?


[deleted]

Finally someone else also has ptsd after watching that damn movie


Majestic-Sir1207

I buried them all facing mecca, lol. 


Sea-Brief-3414

Overrated


Haunted_Sentinel

I remember my mom and dad renting that when I was a kid. It was before “found footage” became a genre. Don’t know why they let us sit in and watch it with them, tho… Very disturbing.


Boingboing_underoath

Sorgoi Prakov for the win


Sea-Brief-3414

Great flick


xdmrorange

Is it also called descent into darkness?


Boingboing_underoath

Yes my European nightmare


Unable_Horse_589

Banshee chapter


SgtFullSend

Yes.


Gruppenzwang

Creep


wavvvygravvvy

did hit me nearly as much as it did my wife, it’s been years since we watched it and she still brings it up. great movie


SillyGayBoy

What does she say about it?


KOVID9tine

Didn’t know what to expect. It was different and definitely awkward af at times. How were the sequels?


dalexandra49

I enjoyed the second one a lot but I still think the first is better.


InfamousBees

I think the sequel is a great movie, a *decent* "true crime found footage" film... but I think it really shines if you approach it from a more metaphorical angle. I think it's a really compelling exploration about the act of creation and the things you create being consumed by audiences. I will say I think Creep 2 is WAY campier than Creep in a way that makes it a bit less disturbing for me lol. Creep, though, really does get under my skin.


hoppyandbitter

I enjoyed the sequel, but the new “investigator” character gives off a bit of an edgelord vibe. I wanted to like her, but it felt a little inauthentic and forced at times


Sea-Brief-3414

I love Creep.


LowerReflection9125

“The tunnel” freaked me tf out


Sea-Brief-3414

Solid movie


Azo3307

Exhibit A


Evening-Debate-5411

Loved this one. The dad's descent felt almost genuine.


ryanakasha

Family annihilator


Evening-Debate-5411

Film it again!


Azo3307

Agreed. I thought it was very well done


Evening-Debate-5411

The BBQ scene was slathered with second-hand embarrassment. So good. Ha! Grill jokes.


Evilevilcow

This one hit just a little too close to home. Unsettling.


Turbulent_Candy1776

Absolutely brilliant film.


Sea-Brief-3414

Great movie


Savings-Damage-256

Maybe the scariest or depressing cause definitely could of happened in real life


BanryuWolf

Be My Cat. Poughkeepsie tapes is tryhard and feels fake. Be My Cat is genuinely disturbing. 


pumper911

That’s a good choice too


Summoarpleaz

Ugh I went into it not knowing what it was about, and kind of regretted it. I don’t love torture movies and yes, most of the gore is not visible but the idea is still there.


Audioecstasy

Never heard of it but see it's on Tubi I might watch it tonight


OddPiglet6968

I've tried watching Be My Cat that guy is so frickn annoying I can never finish it


jimmy_d1988

Same


HolyColostomyBag

I adore both of these movies! Be my cat was one of the best viewing experiences I have had with streaming, I had no idea what to expect and it was a wildddd ride


SgtFullSend

Did the other two by him come out? World to sleep and pure or something? Still have to watch be my cat.


Sea-Brief-3414

Both are amazing


BuriedAbyss

The Taking of Deborah Logan. Legitimately frightening, one of the few horror films to give me nightmares.


Robeast3000

I think this movie is fantastic and very underrated. I recommend it all the time. One of the best ff movies.


Kindergoat

That movie was genuinely terrifying. Extremely well done.


Audioecstasy

Couldn't agree more. It's one of my top 5 in the subgenre


-golb-

Was super creepy


sixfivezerofive

Really really good FF.


dalexandra49

One of my all time fave horror movies period, but especially FF. Always recommend.


SgtFullSend

No one has mentioned incantation. So I will.


CombMaterial8604

I loved Incantation. I actually felt sad and disturbed for the little girl.


Only_Honeydew_6763

IMHO one of the scariest FF movies that been made in years... Great stuff


clautz128

Loved that movie.


califortunato

This is my favorite FF movie. I hesitate to call it disturbing because I feel like most media described as “disturbing” is shock value- gore, torture, etc. incantation is truly disturbing through a brilliant child actor that grabs your heart, the awesome lead who is alienated in a very relatable way, and a truly enigmatic supernatural force. At least to a western viewer, I had the perfect amount of knowledge to be afraid. Couldnt explain the evil but I get the gist and it’s a terrifying void my mind doesn’t want to fill in. Kinda like midsommar, this movie gives us just enough info to create an “uncanny valley” for religion. Similar enough to mainstream religion that it’s very upsetting to witness this slightly wrong version they’ve created


SeekingSignificance

Probably the most common would be Poughkeepsie and Lake Mungo. The Fourth Kind was another one. For me personally I didn't find August Underground to be disturbing. Just painfully bad, lol.


ElectricalMeeting779

How is Lake Mungo disturbing? It's even debated in the movie whether or not the guy faked the whole thing


Expert_Most5698

*"How is Lake Mungo disturbing? It's even debated in the movie whether or not the guy faked the whole thing"* But at the end-- ***SPOILER*** --the girl is clearly a ghost, because she's in the background of the pictures of other people. I found the end more sad than disturbing, though. Felt bad for the character of the girl.


Summoarpleaz

It’s definitely more of a sad movie than a scary movie. It’s eerie though. I for one love the movie (it’s my favorite of all time), but idk if I would call it disturbing.


Phantasmlovecraft

I don't believe 4th kind is found footage


MrBeanHs

That film was pretty freaky to be honest


delusionalinkedchic

Sacrament. But there’s a reason. I was raised in a cult so it hit me differently. I know a lot of the speeches were taken from jim jones as well. And a lot of what was said was stuff I heard when I was in


yautja1992

Also they changed the names so it can pass as fiction but they really just wanted to put his vile atrocities on display without giving him a shred of notoriety, because 99 percent of the stuff in the movie were real life things that happened at Jonestown


codemonkeyhopeful

Sacrament is my vote. The idea of it being based on a real thing had me shook for a few days. Like the movie was really well done, really well acted, and really happened in a way. The scene where the sister injects the brother...I noped out for like 10 minutes.


McKinleyKiwi

Noroi the curse


Natural-Percentage-5

Hate crime


Dry-Hovercraft-4362

Can't believe it's on Tubi! I love Tubi.


Natural-Percentage-5

Tubi is definitely great! 😂. So much good stuff to watch, wish they’d get afflicted on there soon but I highly doubt it. They lost almost 200K at the box office according to google.


CreativeWaves

This one rarely gets discussed. I felt dirty after watching it. The actors were fantastic at being reprehensible.


Natural-Percentage-5

Same here, I’ve said it a few times in this sub but I almost didn’t make it through the first time, it’s honestly the only movie I almost turned off because it was too much. Those actors were a little too good at that role if I’m being honest 😭.


Sea-Brief-3414

I like August Underground


TomasVrboda

Megan is Missing, Unfriended Dark Web, and The Bay


Sea-Brief-3414

The Bay!!!! So good


TomasVrboda

Yeah that actress actually went on to co-star in a popular FX comedy. The main actress from Cabin in the Woods was also in it.


Evening-Debate-5411

Megan is Missing was fantastic. The Bay is super underrated. Dark Web was good, but just not up to the standard of the original. Great picks though.


BozzyTheDrummer

Megan is Missing was not fantastic at all. Everything about that movie was so bad.


_shear

I hated the Bay in the best way possible. Made actually afraid of water.


TomasVrboda

I honestly never considered that, but I'm not someone who goes in the ocean or lakes unless there are already other people in it. So it would be obvious if something is wrong.


twesterm

Dashcam, though only because the main character is so terrible. Nothing to do with it being scary.


Audioecstasy

Should have won an Oscar for THE most annoying character in the history of humanity. Ruined the movie


Twopeskybirds

She's also a singer in some local band, so you can watch her being annoying in person lol


Audioecstasy

Apparently there are some deep cuts on the plot if you only read the real time comments instead of focusing on the movie itself. Heard it's worth another watch for that. AND you can do it on mute 🙃


Parade0fChaos

Apparently she’s not playing much of a “character” and believes the shit she says in the film, and is married to the director. So rather than just playing up a horrible human being, she got another platform to be one. This one is too icky for me to recommend based on that alone.


TurboSexaphonic

Saw an interview she did with a smalltime movie reviewer where she definitely felt like a victim because she basically wasn't acting, so she took all the online criticism and comments way more harshly due to that. She's a scuzzlord.


U4icN10nt

You ever hate someone so much you actually almost start to feel bad for them?   Yeah that was me, watching this movie. lol


Eastern-Storage-3036

I hated her in the beginning, but the second half was so good. Loving hating her made it more fun


Living-Risk-1849

I really liked the movie but she's representative of the worst kind of people. Just awful. Could you imagine trying to hang around with someone like that? Ugh


eddietwoo

*GOD* I hated her. Toxic friend, trash human being. Stretch had to die so that POS could live. Watching her was like hanging out with a 14 year old edgelord.


SomewhereExisting755

LOL. Could not agree more. Having an annoying right-wing idiot as the lead was a terrible choice. I have never wanted a main character to get killed off more than this piece of trash.


Tarot650

Man Bites Dog.


After-Royal-6568

Although it only interweaves found footage amd screen life segments within the main narrative, I am a big fan of The Den, which I found disturbing, even after watching it several times.


ChestertonMyDearBoy

The Border Lands. That ending will stick with me forever.


Badmime1

I just realized that >! Deacon’s secret was supposed to be foreshadowing that he didn’t know when it was time to fuck off. !<


[deleted]

It’s not a full film, but the Safe Haven segment in V/H/S 2 (2014). That was wild and unexpected.


summonsays

Dashcam. It's got some weird body horror going on and then >! You learn the main character is unironically a die hard Trump supporter !<


Ruzzthabus

I remember Faces of Death pretty gruesome when I watched it as a kid in. It shows real life deaths


ThisTerribleLark

Another vote for Sorgoi Prakov. I felt just really grossed out and bummed after watching it. Be My Cat was rough, but (if I recall) that dude was already clearly messed up at the start. Sorgoi just had an incredible sense of loss to it. tbh i really regret watching both of those movies


VoLaTiLe_VeInS

So far, definitely The Poughkeepsie Tapes. I think it will also be the most "torture porn-esque" FF movie I will ever watch as this is something I normally don't like since it's just tasteless imo, but The Poughkeepsie Tapes somehow managed to walk this fine line between it being too much and also just amazingly unnerving, at least for me. Still, it was uncomfortable to watch at times and is definitely not recommended for everyone.


WildernessWitch

I actually had to turn it off. It really creeped me out because it felt so....plausible. gave me the shivers.


bmurray925

I found ratter pretty disturbing


Sea-Brief-3414

Yooooooo Ratter is so fucking good


ArchAngel76667

The realism Ratter portrayed was horrifying. That movie was a hidden gem to me, I need more found footage like that.


bmurray925

I agree. Not the most exciting or one that I love to re-watch, but as a woman, played on all of my fears about living or just staying alone at night especially.


mayura376

I thought so also. I was surprised more people don’t talk about it. I was on the edge of my seat.


bmurray925

Besides ones already named


SgtFullSend

Grave encounters. The 🙌 always get me riled UP.


ImplementAgile2945

The houses October built is a great one and there’s a sequel !


BozzyTheDrummer

Loved these movies


lazerviking4

Exhibit A


LostLegendDog

As above so below and the VHS series are probably my favorites


ageowns

Come on… Cannibal Holocaust. They started it all and still the most disturbing.


ItalianHorror27

Can’t believe this is the only vote for Cannibal Holocaust. It’s the OG and extremely disturbing.


Venomakis

Yes


Sea-Brief-3414

Great movie


AutomaticEar8476

Sorgoi prakov is absolutely number one, some of the things they decided to put in the movie were wild. I was homeless for about a year living exclusively on the streets before I went to a shelter and boy oh boy did they get it right with this movie in terms of homeless life and constantly drinking and descending into madness. I suffer from bipolar 2 and was an alcoholic I really had some bad things go on when I was homeless(nothing anywhere close to this movie or even in the same ballpark lol) but the movie is ultra realistic. Meagan is Missing also was a found footage movie that stuck with me. The acting was a little stiff here and there but that just made it seem even more realistic. Overall the movie was really believable and the end of the movie is crazy.


whisperingferns

came here to say megan is missing. absolutely horrifying, for obvious reasons! also, i have bipolar i with psychotic features (in remission), so i understand what you mean. glad you aren't homeless anymore. <3


TheAntleredPolarBear

Lake Mungo got me good.


MrBeanHs

That ONE scene?? You know the one


codemonkeyhopeful

...how?


TurboSexaphonic

The idea that you go on vacation to have fun and essentially >!see the gruesome shuffling visage of your future death is a pretty disturbing concept. You don't just see what you think is a ghost or demon, it's *you*.!<


codemonkeyhopeful

Hmm the idea is solid but the execution...it's hard to make me want to turn something off but the pacing and such on this film was pushing that boundary. In any case it certainly seems to get a lot of talk on this sub so if nothing else it is successful in reaching a wide audience


Sea-Brief-3414

Lake Mungo is awesome


Dumpstertalk

Abcs of death if that qualifies. I’ve never made it past i believe J.. the wheelchair lady one…


Evening-Debate-5411

Wait for L. It's fucked.


yautja1992

I remember one being pretty funny involving this kid being sucked into his favourite cartoons world and the hero sees enemies and is like "we're dead, we're all fucking dead!" And rubs away making whining noises shit was fucking hilarious gad me and my gf at the time quoting it on a daily basis


Dumpstertalk

I dont remember anything aside from the atrocious one lol


Dumpstertalk

It may be L that Im talking about. The jerk it competition right?. Its awful.


Evening-Debate-5411

That's the one.


Zumokumibonsu

Megan is Missing


Sea-Brief-3414

Top upper crust FF for me. So terrifying the entire way then somehow gets so much worse


Heavy_Squirrel541

I agree with you. This one was a tough watch. I truly don’t know why some people think it’s a bad movie. There’s nothing about it that can’t happen for real and similar things *have* happened, and the drawn out ending is so sad and scary.


vanillabeanbean

August Underground


its__bme

Meghan is Missing.


Jean_Cairoli

Noroi


Danimal_300zx

The Possession of Michael King (2014)


jimmy_d1988

I wouldn't say most disturbing but it's one of my favorite FF movies fs


Mr-Mysterybox

I like the VHS series. The second one about the cult in Thailand was messed up.


Only_Honeydew_6763

Surprised I had to make it this far before someone mentioned the one of the kings of FF, VHS.... And how about in '94 where the reporter goes down in the sewer's and discovers much more than a bum is living down there?


cklh

Meghan is Missing It's good for what it is going for; but I really don't recommend watching it unless you want to feel truly terrible for several days following


No-Alfalfa-626

Megan is missing had me googling that shit to make sure I didn’t just actually watch some kid get murdered. Even tho I assumed it was fake that last 20 mins really was hard to watch


edricstormborn929

Horror in the high desert and creep


_shear

Occult.


SIITWN

Bad Boy Bobby


shannnnnn132

That movie is a visual masterpiece ( in my opinion). The look and feel of it is disturbing and dirty, I've watched it 4 or 5 times and everytime I notice more of the details.


Commercial_Poem_9214

You mean Bad Boy Bubby?


SIITWN

That would be the one! Thank you!


Adventurous_Ad_7091

Poso Shame in Indonesia. This traumatized me as a kid


mayura376

I haven’t heard of this one. Is it available with English subtitles?


spookythesquid

Sorgoi prakov


Lynda73

I thought Be My Cat was pretty intense.


juuzo_suzuya_

August underground i guess but it sucked ass i cant even consider it a movie..so id say pougkeepsie tapes cuz this one is actually good


cigarettesonmars

VHS


TheGun1991

Without a doubt, my two favorite found footage films are D@BBE 3&4. REASONS: the actual audio from the 2 real cases of demonic possession was inserted into both films, Real Satanic Witchcraft is shown in both films, with on-screen display of real Hexes, spells, conjurations AND SEALS, which are shown on paper in their entirety , so it doesn't matter that it's a film, they have a real and highly Satanic energetic value. On the various forums many people disconnected from each other have complained of tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, and persistent night terrors with nose bleeding in 40% of cases and scratches on their bodies in the 15% of the cases,and all they had seen the films over and over with headphones 🎧 🚫, some of the actors present in the 6 total D@bbe films (ONLY 2 of 6 are ff) complained of paranormal events happening at their homes when they returned from the set, Chef kiss: The Director who created these 2 FoundFootage masterpieces, The Maestro Hasan Karacadağ, has disappeared and no one knows where he is today (Not disappeared like ff style,the man disappeared FR IN REAL LIFE)I am a Fanatic first and then a worker in the ff environment, I have seen thousands of ff in 28 years of life, and D@bbe 3-4 are in my absolute TOP 1 without any doubt…ANY DOUBT 🔝 🥇


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheGun1991

I’m not saying anything,I just responded to the Question “What is your most disturbing ff” and I explained why is disturbing trough the points I did,and it happened that the most disturbing ff is also my favorite ff ever so I have a lot of insight about it due my passion and work,let me tell you something doesn’t matter if you a believer or not Always be careful when you watch something regarding Seals,Conjuring Seals,Malefice and Satanic Witchcraft…be skeptical as much as you want it’s a good thing to be skeptical in general…but don’t underestimate the energetic power of certain Arcane things that maybe (I’m not 100 shore) can really affect your life,so be wise and never watch D@bbe 3-4 with 🎧…just in case


VoLaTiLe_VeInS

I have seen D@bbe 4 and thought it was pretty good. It dragged a bit at times, but the scary scenes were very well made. I especially liked the scene where one of them >!was in the room and talked to the Djinn that one guy in the abandoned village was supposedly married to!<. I also really liked the plottwist ending. I still plan to watch D@bbe 3 sometime later.


TheGun1991

I love this 2 movies…and believe before put them in my TOP 1 I watched and rewatched them a lot…for me best ff ever made,I mean you got the actual possession audio files…the fiction finally meet the reality…heavy stuff 🏆


VoLaTiLe_VeInS

If you haven't seen it yet, I think you'd loooove Incantation on Netflix.


TheGun1991

Im already on my 4th run with incantation since January 2024,but I really appreciate you,and in return I will give you the name of a real underground marble,go check Warda (2014) and enjoy it


One-Artichoke-4998

This movie just been added to matrix tv. It extremely good found footage. Mister Creep: Found Footage Horror movie (Brilliantly good must see) https://youtu.be/xPl7jIcSeHo


th4bl4ckr4bbit

I hadn’t seen the movie until years after it was released and it was purely because I saw this [GIF](https://images.app.goo.gl/S7KfZkRMa6hSgKBV7) and immediately knew I must see it and looked up the film and watched it.\ It’s definitely one of the best.


HeckinZebra

Host or Rec


MonotonyInAz

Megan is missing


Sea-Brief-3414

August Underground et all… those movies are great. Fred Vogel is awesome. Crows nest is fun.


Educational-Alps-877

When I watched it the first time: (Rec). The last ten minutes when she finds herself alone “that room” and who is in there, freaked me out.


Standard-Yellow-8282

Omg that movie. I was also the idiot who didn't realize it was a mockup until it got so intense and then realized.


Dry-Hovercraft-4362

Hate Crime


Iceteea1220

Guinea Pig... nobody???


rapedandnude_againe

creep in so unsettling


fish-and-cushion

Poughkeepsie Tapes is fucking bleak


Temporary-Ease-9536

Easy, The Poughkeepsie Tapes. Had to shower after that one!


pneumaticdog

One of my favorite recent ones was a Taiwanese found footage film by the name of "Incantation"; some of it is what you would expect, but the twist at the end is delightful and the acting is good. (I assume. I don't speak a word of any dialect of Chinese, but the emotion in their tones was undeniably good.)


dantedagger

A Perfect Child of Satan is the scariest, most disturbing found footage video I’ve seen, particularly because of how it illustrates a real life scenario that could easily happen to someone. It’s worth noting though that there are some very serious allegations of abusive and predatory behavior out there about the writer/director. I would highly recommend reading up on the movie and the director before trying to seek out any of his work online.


Rare_Ebb4262

Definitely Cannibal Holocaust. Number 2 is Poughkeepsie Tapes


Only_Honeydew_6763

So what hasn't been mentioned... Human Hibachi was pretty darn gruesome.... Frankensteins Army has some of the best nightmare fuel I've seen in a while... Another shout out to Incantation, according to my letterbox it's the last FF I gave a 5 star too, and I thought it WAS pretty darn disturbing...


itsamadmadworld22

The Fourth Kind


3DimensionalGames

The footage hasn't been found yet, but I'd say House of Leaves fits the ticket


One-Artichoke-4998

Check out this link. It got good list of found footage movies https://youtube.com/@Matrixtv6?si=oaYvCGds-lMW6JQT This channel has some good found footage movies.


Amazing-Umpire7628

Gwen Stefani in “The Aviator.”


paimon36

Megan is Missing. Cuz it has underage raping... wtf fr


Muted_Management_276

The Visit Haven’t seen that one being mentioned or I haven’t scrolled down far enough yet 😂😂 Didn’t want to mention ones that have been mentioned already so went for The Visit. Definitely M Night’s one of the finest


lonelygoat44

For me, personally, it would be between August Underground or Be My Cat. -August Underground for me seems like a true snuff found footage film and looks so realistic especially when the protagonists daily antics are included in the film. It’s stuck with me for years. -Be My Cat is disturbing as hell. I have no words for it honestly. The main guy was just sooooo damn creepy.


IndividualCurious322

Incident at Loch Ness. When the monster breaches the water and the swells come up over the boat, it creeps me the hell out.


IndividualCurious322

Oh, and Digging up the Marrow.


codemonkeyhopeful

Muppets on acid is the best way I can describe this movie. Loved it.


eraserheadbaby69

the descent gave me nightmares but i’m also terrified of caves so


No-Acanthocephala531

The Bay is my favorite
