Captivating movie !

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I'd rate this a 0 if I could...All these "actors" shouldn't be allowed to even try to make another "film" ever again. They're all terrible, they really can't act at all and they are all annoying. I assume the good reviews come from their friends or something, because this movie is utter trash. It doesn't deserve to be distributed.It's just really hard to take this movie seriously when everything feels like a bad attempt of a comedy. Yeah, it feels like a comedy but it's not funny, nor is it scary, nor is it anything at all. It's just bothersome. I sat through the whole thing just so that I could firmly say that THIS is one of the WORST found footage films (and probably films in general) out there.Believe me, you don't want to waste your time on this one. I'm sure that any other FF film is a better example and a far superior effort.

Found footage movies such as Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity have been very successful both in their ability to excite and scare people. When I watched "Severed Footage" the intensity that built coupled with the uncanny authenticity of certain events immediately gave me reason to rank it superior to previous found footage films. I enjoyed watching the college kids as they planned this project, typical students and fun to watch, I could relate as a student myself. The sheer truth behind the storyline was frightening but so captivating that I had to watch the movie again. It was very well done and enjoyed by many including myself.

"Severed Footage" was enjoyable to watch for lots of reasons. I enjoyed the storyline development (it wasn't just in your face gore or non stop violence) , the character development was fun to watch, and the composition of the movie itself led up to the surprising climax of the film, with subtle humour and great drama. The beauty of that part of the world just shines so naturally in this film. I especially liked the tie-in to the infamous history and unsavoury characters let loose on Newcastle Island in the recent past, as well as the yet unsolved mystery that is current news of 12 severed feet washing up the area beaches, but maybe this leaked footage exposes that mystery. None of this great drama has ever been told in film that I'm aware of. Three cheers for a job well done!!!

I usually do not write reviews about movies but I was so impressed with this one I had to share my thoughts. I just watched a screening of "Severed Footage" with some of my friends. We had no idea what is was going to be about other than it was a found footage and I am a big fan of the found footage movies. What I like in a found footage movie is that it should be believable. People that do not seem themselves, a fake story line or scenes that are unrealistic just ruin them for me. I found this movie much more realistic than most. The people in it seemed real, the story about the 12 severed feet washing up on shore in running shoes is not only creepy but has been all over the news. Now that got me thinking! Loved getting to know the people, made it easy to relate to them, just normal college kids. It was humorous watching the poor college nerd trying so hard to impress the hot girls in his class. Kinda like watching Napoleon Dynamite. Then as they got to the Island I was caught completely off guard. Many times we jumped out of our seats. The Axe scene was absolutely terrifying. The ending was the great too. After I got home I Googled the floating severed feet and also Kanaka Pete the Axe murderer. I found stories everywhere especially on the paranormal and true ghost story sites. Many people have had paranormal encounters with the Ghost of Kanaka Pete, and some have lived to tell about it. So many actual true events in this movie, and I like that. This is the most believable found footage movie I have seen. Lets see, no director named, no cast named, no credits, this just may be the real deal! I was a teen when The Blair Witch Project came out and that was thrilling and exciting, this is the first time I have felt that same thrill and excitement about a found footage movie since then. I would highly recommend this movie even if you are not into the found footage genre. After watching "Severed Footage" I now have a new favorite.
