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

seriously,why cant we get a decent scary movie made ever?Even the promotional poster is a rip off of The Blair Witch...sheesh.I've heard of the severed feet appearances in Canada,and this silly stupid movie simply exploits it for all(not much) its worth.As usual,the worst movie makers are the first to tell the story in their own unintelligent way. It shouldn't take a lot of money to make a good movie just good actors and a good script writer I guess they are impossible to come by anymore.I cant think of anything else to say about this typical garbage sorry excuse for a movie.I have to write ten lines but thats ridiculous and unfair.Ten words are enough for this "movie"

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.

"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!!!

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.
