The original Blair Witch did it right, I love walking out of a theater confused and wishing I knew the rest of the story. Too often does a movie (unfriended) throw a ghost or a demon at you right at the end as a way to wrap up the movie without giving you a real, solid, well thought out ending. Honestly what I really want is a return to the days of the slasher and the cult movie. I watched House of the Devil for the third or fourth time this last weekend. That is an excellent film. If you haven't seen it, catch it on Netflix, it has the perfect nostalgic feel.

I found Unfriended to be pretty good, not revolutionizing horror by any means, but pretty good; do you think it truly counts as a found footage however?
