I love this movie so much

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Don't listen to the negative reviews

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The movie is too meta for its own good - it would need a much better writer and vision, like a josh weadon. To say that it is the scream or cabin in the woods of found footage is almost a joke.the problem with the excess meta is that it is not scary, you can´t immerse yourself in the story. It is also not funny, so it is kinda of hard to know what is wants to be.Gave 3 stars becuse we are grading in a curve here, FF is not exactly known for the masterpieces.

Saw this movie finally after seeing one of the Producers talk at an event - boy did Scott E Weinberg talk up a turd! This is one of the worst movies out there but plays out like a guy learning how to use his camcorder. Mr. Weinberg took most of the credit for this film saying he basically directed it too, that the director was always too high to direct. And it shows! Avoid like the plague.

I don't like found footage movies. Even the ones I've come close to liking I felt would have been better if they had dropped the found footage aspect. The Blair Witch Project made me want to ask for my money back. That said, I loved Found Footage 3D!Found Footage 3D starts out as a legitimately funny satire of found footage horror films and, before you know it, it becomes a legitimately scary found footage horror film. The filmmaker handled the switch between spoof and horror so well that you barely notice it until you find yourself thinking, "Hey, when did that happen?" The cast is excellent, the story is well-developed and engaging, and the cinematography is great with some shots that make subtle but impressive use of 3D.I wasn't sure what to expect going into this movie given my general dislike of the found footage genre, but I walked away impressed by the discovery of a found footage film that I enjoyed. If you are a fan of found footage, you'll appreciate the ways this movie pokes fun at the genre yet becomes a unique entry into the steadily growing list of found footage films. If like me, you haven't been a fan of found footage, you should give this movie a chance. You might find yourself surprised.

The big world premiere for Bruce Campbell's Horror Film Fest was Found Footage 3D, a film years in the making that had gained quite a bit of traction online. Does this film live up to the hype it has created or fall into the same troupes most films of this genre have? Found Footage 3D follows a small group of people wanting to make the first ever 3D found footage film, to make their place in the genre. When arriving at their film site which is a old cabin with a shady past they soon start to realize that there is something actually happening in that cabin to them turning their movie shoot into a actual horror found footage film.It's a simple enough premise and not something I'd call truly groundbreaking but what this film tries to do is almost spoof the found footage genre. They constantly call out the troupes of the genre in a joking or mocking fashion. The problem is that then the film falls right back into those troupes. You can't mock something so much then make the same mistake the films you are going at do. It's the case of being too meta for it's own good. It doesn't help either that so much of the film is just set ups, character developments, and a good amount of dialog that by the end when the events finally unfold that everything just goes to waste and feels rushed.Another big problem is like most 3D films I feel like this was just added so they could claim it as 3D. Only at the beginning when the characters were first toying with their new 3D cameras did any of it actually have a 3D feel to it. Otherwise it just gave the normal 3D effect of giving the film a more circular view instead of looking at it on a flat surface. The film will be able to claim itself as the first 3D film but I feel like it wasn't truly worth it. I will say as well that this is the only 3D movie ever to make me feel a little nauseous in a few scenes. The shaky cam along with 3D effects can be hard to take in as well as the few scenes involving two go pros.I will give it to the film however for having a few good gore scenes along with some very funny dialog. The characters banter between each other can be quite entertaining and is by far the biggest highlight of the film. It is humorous to hear them go on about the horrible things other films do and how to make their own better even if you only end up disappointed in the actions they take. I'll also give them credit for making me truly hate a character that being Derek (played by Carter Roy). (Also bonus points for Scott Weinberg).Unrelated to the review before the film director Steven DeGennaro did come and speak to a nearly sold out theater for the world premiere of his first full length film. After the movie a full Q&A was held by the director and full cast for the audience to ask about the making of the film.Overall I really went into this film with how hopes and instead left feeling like this was no better then all the other found footage films being released today. It just boiled down to unnecessary 3D, slow pacing, and being too meta for it's own good.Score : 3/10 https://apocalypticdemise.com/2016/08/23/found-footage-3d-review/
