Severed Footage

very poorly made found footage, atrocious acting, feels like a poorly attempt to copy the blair witch project and the delivery of lines by the actors just feels robotic, everything happens out of camera view, it is basically an hour and a half of people running in the woods shouting what's going on as if the viewers cannot figure it out for themselves, it's also very far from scary since you get bored 15 minutes in because it seems more about a fat kid trying to hook up with girls than anything else and that sentiment persist throughout the movie

storywise ghost story that doesn't go nowhere, no real paranormal investigation or something at least believable going on, only a «ghost detector» that beeps when stuff is suppose to be happening

only recommend if you are extremely bored and out of stuff to watch and even then re-watching something actually entertaining like Grave Encounters is more worthwhile

I'm not usually one to watch found footage movies, but "Severed Footage" has definitely changed my mind on them. The plausibility of the story is amazing; when I got home from watching it the first time, I searched all the issues that came up and not one of them was fictional. That, for me, is the key to why the film is really entertaining. The only other film of this type that I've seen is the first "Paranormal Activity" and "Severed Footage" was just as good, if not better. The beginning of the story (before they get to Newcastle Island) has a comic element which I just didn't get in "Paranormal", and the premise of the story was much more believable for me. All in all, I would most definitely recommend this film and it is probably the best Indie film I've seen in a long time.

I found Severed Footage to be quite entertaining. This is defiantly not one of those boring movies were you are board out of your mind for half the movie until anything noteworthy happens. The movie starts out actually quite funny. You get to see these the personalities of these students and the things they do. This made the movie go by quite fast as I got caught up in it.

Then it was like a switch was turned and when you are not expecting it, things start to happen. I actually jumped back a few times in my seat from being surprised and shocked. At the same time everything looked real and was realistic, it could happen to you or me. That was the scary/creepy part, knowing that this could have actually happened to anyone. On top of that, if you look up the things they talked about in the film, it is all real. It is in the history books and has been in the news recently.

This is one of the better found footage or POV movies to be released. It keeps your attention the whole time. You laugh. You get creeped out with shivers down your spin from the things you see and hear. Your heart will start racing as suspense builds. And you will get shocked and jump a few times.

It is well worth your time to see this film. I enjoyed it and I'm sure you will too.

It's a pretty cool back story and the legend is a real legend. Any movie with a a killer who wields an ax a classicly terrifying image. Def some Blair Witchy goings on with shaking tent. It was terrifying in B.W. ... It's been ripped off because it works.

However, all of these things were insignificant bits of nothingness compared to the disturbing, pathetic, delusional behavior of the main guy. This whole thing was dreamed up, cultivated and executed for one purpose.... To have time and ultimately have sex with one or both of the hottest girls in college. I suspect it would be his first time with sexy because he's so creepy and inappropriate nearly the whole movie. It was amusing at first but as the movie progressed it got to be frustrating. His advances are repeatly rebuffed but yet he has the illusion of grandeur to nsanely say with a straight face .... They are here for me and I'm not with them now but I will be after this.... It's almost changed from horror to a comedy.

What I took away most is its clear he doesn't own a mirror or have a friend....

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.
