Summary

• The Bay mixes found footage and mockumentary styles for a realistic horror experience.
• The Tunnel uses a mockumentary format to explore a mysterious tunnel system and a terrifying creature.
• Butterfly Kisses is a 2018 hidden gem mockumentary about obsession and urban legends.

The mockumentary style feels like a great way to make any movie better. It improves comedies like Surf's Up or The Office, it breathes new life into adventure films, and best of all, it can really elevate a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:horror film when done right.

That being said, as with most things related to horror, finding the mockumentary horror flick that's right for you can be a bit of a challenge.

Mockumentary and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:found footageಞ are easy to confuse, especially since they sometimes overlap. For this l🙈ist, the psuedo-documentary angle is the key factor.

11 The Bay

A solid mix of found footage and mockumentary, Barry Levinson's The Bay follows a rookie news reporter as she attempts to cover fourth of July celebrations in the coastal town of Claridge, Maine, only to accidentally end up uncovering a much larger story.

The Bay sees its characters panic under the assumption that some new horrible dis꧂ease has infected the town, and in a post-pandemic world, that feels a lot more visceral and real than it did back in 2012.

10 ꦫ The Tun𓆉nel

When an investigative journalist and her crew attempt to hunt down the secret behind a mysterious tunnel system under Sydney, Australia, they soon find themselves stalked by something they don't understand.

The secrets at the heart of this tense horror mockumentary are sure to unnerve you, especially once 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the creature, known only as "the stalker" begins to make itself known. If you liked As Above So Below, this one is going to be ri🐲ght up your alley.

9 Digging Up The Marrow 🐬

Digging Up The Marrow isn't going to land for everyone, but if you like practical effects, have a passion for monsters and how they're designed, and also happen to like horror comedies, Digging Up The Marrow is the oddly specific movie for you.

You'll love the unique premise of a documentary about monsters in art being flipped on its head when the inspirations behind the art make themselves known, and have a great time laughing along with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:this delightful horror comedy.

8 💯 Hell House, LLC

Five years ago, an unexplainable disaster at a haunted house led to the deaths of 15 people. Now, a documentary crew has returned to t💮he scene of the tragedy to uncover the truth behind what really happened that fateful night.

Hell House LLC delivers a wonderfully tense and engaging result so successful 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it has spaw🐽ned a great numbeꦰr of sequels in the years since its release. It's popular enough that you've probably already seen it, but if you haven't, give this one a watch, ASAP.

7 🔯 Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made

Antrum, supposedly, is cursed. The actual film is supposed to be about what happens when a child attempts to bring back a beloved pet dog by opening a pit that leads directly to the underworld, but that's not all there is to this clever indie flick.

The film presents itself as a documentary about itself, and recounts the tragedies that have befallen those who have seen the film, and what ๊has happened to those who have tried to screen it. If you want to be kept guessing, Antrum is a🥂 great choice.

6 🍃 Savageland

A powerful film which questions our trust in our fellow man, Savageland uses the mockumentary format to examine judg𝓀me🌊nt, fear, and doubt with a fresh and gruesome take on a long-celebrated horror trope.

After an entire town disappears overnight, only one survivor remains, but as guilty as he may seem at first, the survivor soon pro🧔duces photographs that shine a shocking new light on the c♏ase.

5 Bann✱ed From Broadcast: Saiko! The Large Family

Japanese horror movies 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:from the mid 2000s tend to be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tricky to track down in the West, and unfortunately, that's especially true of the 2009 mockumentary Banned From Broadcast: Saiko! The Large Family. That said, if you can find a way to watch it, this is one mockumentary you won't soon forget.

The film on the surface is just an ordinary documentary about a large Japanese family, but pay close attention to the background, and a very different picture soon becomes crystal clear. Even if it's tough to find, we can't recommend Saiko enough for fans of subtle horror.

4 🦂 Troll Hunter

When a group of students heads to the Norwegian mountains in hopes of filming a documentary about a bear hun🌸ter, they end up chasing a much bigger threat than any bear.

Troll Hunter is a wonderful mockumentary horror epic which brings Norwegian folklore to life with impressive and believable visual effects, and this is only made more impressive when you remember that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the film was made back in 2010. Check it out if you slept on it when it was released. Trust us, you won't regret it.

3 ෴ Final Prayer

Final Prayer is the definition of an indie horror gem. Focusing its story on an old, boardering on ancient church in the English countryside, this mockumentary sees us following a group of skeptics and exorists from the Vatican who have been called in to investig🍌ate a supposed haunting.

If you enjoy cosmic hor♌ror and mockumentary style presentation, Final Prayer (also known as The Borderlands depending on where y𓂃ou live) is a fantastic film that kept us on edge from start to finish. Rest assured, this one is worth the rental price.

2 Lake Mun✅go

Lake Mungo is harrowing. Not only because of how well the documentary aspects of the film are handled, but because of how scary the film can be on a second viewing, once you're painfully aware of what's really going on.

But it's not as though Lake Mungo ever fully reveals its hand, either. The film is incredibly smart with what it gives away, and when, and blends tragedy with horror in a way that will stick with you long after the credits roll.
