If you are not a fan of found footage films, this movie will not be the one to convert you. Many segments are shot with the camera on a tripod as the main character interviews locals for her documentary. But eventually, there are some handheld sequences that are blurry, dark, and swing too wildly to see anything. I think a lot of viewers will also feel like they didn't get enough scares, and not enough payoff. I wouldn't call it a slow burn, but there is a lot of setup before you get any scenes where some action might take place. I liked the lead actress a lot; I really thought she was Jennifer Morrison at first. Her performance carries the film. The other main character, the cop, didn't feel as believable to me. Pretty much everyone else seem like they are doing some mediocre improv. There isn't too much filler, but there are some shots that go on way too long. However, I did feel some genuine tension. I wish the movie was a little more balanced somehow; the characters spend a lot of time talking in safe places. But when it got to a creepy part, it kept me anxious for such an extended period, I had to take a break. I'm glad I gave this one a try, because I don't find many movies that can get a reaction from me.

This is a solid, fairly fast paced found footage that does a lot of things right. The first thing I noticed was that the characters are all (with the obvious endgame exception) nice people and you can truly invest in their welfare. All to often these movies are populated with knuckleheads you are glad to see die (movie world naturally). But in this one, I want them to survive and it's been a while since I've felt that for a character. The editing is kept to a minimum to help give the 'found on a memory stick" back story credence and even though some of the blank/long pause shorts are, well.......long, they are still part of the what would be expected of finding genuine footage and help with the scenario setup. Story wise, nothing too new here but not done to death supernatural foolishness that I'm sure most of have seen plenty of anyway and I really enjoyed what they did come up with. Short version, good stuff that gave me a few laughs and a tight chest moment several times.

I thought it started out pretty good with a bunch of interviews to flesh out the story. There were some pretty creepy camera shots and then the whole thing fell apart at the end. It was so dark I had no idea what was going on. Then it just stopped. Such a shame.

I love found footage horror movies, including amateur productions, as long as they're even the least bit scary and sincere. This has a few good scares in it, but they were too few and far between to make this work.

The beginning of this movie hooked me. I thought, "Finally! A good one!" The lead actually sounded like a competent and talented newscaster and the footage felt real enough with outtakes, cover footage, and all.

The first two minutes show her in front of an abandoned house doing her spiel about what happened in it and we see a figure pass by a window. It's brief and in the distance, but unmistakable and creepy. I smiled and settled in eager to see more.

Then she gets stopped by a cop after she almost hits someone while driving and trying to film at the same time. He ends up asking her out for coffee and much of the rest of the movie is like watching them on terribly awkward dates. There are also several interviews with other people that aren't very entertaining and there just for exposition that we honestly don't need.

She and the cop go to the abandoned house again to explore and catch some obvious footage of weird stuff that neither of them sees but we do, even though she seems to have forgotten how to use and focus a camera all of a sudden so it's all blurry and shaky - and so lame. In every handheld camera scene she seems to have absolutely no idea what she's doing anymore. It's even aimed at the floor a lot of the time. I found myself wanting to shout at the screen, "What is wrong with you??"

And then, just as bad, for whatever reason she's obviously not reviewing her footage or she would have seen the scary blurry figure in the background just like we did - and just like we wanted to see way more of.

She seems so interested and invested while looking at crime scene photos and doing interviews but dismisses anything weird that happens at while the house and doesn't review her footage? Half the time she seems intelligent and serious and the other half she's clueless and it's just a big joke to her. It doesn't work.

This is a found footage movie that ignores anything it captures and over the course of an hour and a half only gives us about three and a half tiny glimpses of what we came to see. How did they possibly think that would be effective?

It's a damn shame because aside from the absolutely terrible handheld camera work they had some great scenes and decent tension and even decent acting and what looked to me like a decent "monster". I'm okay with it never being shown clearly, just don't ignore it.

I've never called a movie "dumb" before. This one is dumb. So dumb. I don't think it's worth your time, unfortunately. I'm giving this a very generous 4/10 for the potential it had, the talent involved, and the few effective scares.

This is actually pretty well done! Story was engaging and the premise was creepy!

I'd recommend for ff genre enthusiasts

Really??? I love found footage and the acting and story here is pretty good but by the end of the movie I was cheering for Leah to die. She had absolutely no common sense and wouldn't listen to anything the cop had to say. Making her seem like a smart put together person with some common sense at the beginning of the movie, to a complete and total idiot at the end just makes this movie not worth it. This movie had me until the end and the last 15 minutes it almost all dark you can see anything.

Great little found footage gem. Not really horror so much as a creepy mystery with some horror elements. Does a nice job of building tension all the way to the end.

Ignore the reviews that say it left questions unanswered. All the clues are right there for everyone to see. No spoilers, but pay attention to the interviews that Leah does with people from the town. Those are not just filler...pay attention because they explain everything, especially in retrospect.

Loved the story and thought the acting from the two leads and most of the supporting cast was really solid.

I am not so objective when it comes to Found Footage movies. I love this genre, even though i acknowledge that most FF movies imitate each other, they are not so creative and only 5-10 of them could be seen as great movies. Still, i enjoy the hell out of them and almost always, they make me scared.

So, i can't guarantee you will like it unless you are a big fan of FFM as well. In any case, it's a slow burn. Don't expect many jumb scares, this movie doesn't grab you by the throat. It takes its time in order to create its atmosphere and suspense. That's common ground among movies of this genre. If there is something which differentiates this movie, i'd say it's the characters. These are likeable characters and i empathized with them. Also, it was well acted for a FF movie.

I would rate it higher if it had a better ending. I am not saying this was bad, but it should have been stronger, to say at least. Unfortunately, it was somewhat flat.

The movie was ok, but the reporter was so annoying. She laughs throughout the whole movie,even while taking the dead woman's dresses out of the closet. I wanted the reporter to meet her end.

You spend most the movie listening to this girl doing her irritatingly irrelevant interviews which she is clearly annoyed by or fighting back and forth with the cop. When you finally get to a part that might be creepy.... the screen is black for it. This was just horrible!

I'm a huge found footage fan. I'll give anything a shot. It's about 70/20/10 usually. 70% are below average and easily forgotten. 20% are good. 10% are excellent. I'm talking Blair Witch, Grave Encounters, The Last Broadcast, VHS, Paranormal Activity, Open Water, Houses October Built, Megan Is Missing, etc. I'm throwing this movie somewhere behind those. The actress who played Leah made the difference for me. Maybe the most likable character I've ever seen in a found footage film. I also loved the snowy, chilly atmosphere. It is bizarre that the rating is nearly a 6 but the written reviews are so bad. If you Google actual reviews from horror sites, they are almost all very positive. Give it a watch if you can find it. I saw it on some streaming platform, think it was Netflix or Prime.

This found footage film fell flat the jumpscares where very weak surprisingly cause FF films usually have great jumpscares. All in all I was excited to see this and as I watched it it started out good then went down hill w every scene after. Definitely not worth the 3$ I spent to watch it. I would say skip this one

Standard plot of a found footage film. It looks decent. Acting is okay if a bit clunky at times. Nothing new to the film, and the same boring ending that shows only a little bit and leaves with all questions still unanswered. Nothing to see here really.

It was a good enough movie, but I prefer an Outcome, Good or Bad. The movie didn't leave me wanting more, it made me feel like I should have watched something else!

I don't understand the bad reviews this movie got, I watched it on Tubi and found myself really enjoying it. It's a found-footage horror but don't let that put you off, it's excellent. The acting and the cast are engaging and the editing is very tight. It takes time to build to the climax and it is very atmospheric. The snowy wintery scenes and the sound of wind moaning just adds that extra layer of tension. Even though some of the things that the lead actors do may make you roll your eyes at their stupidity, it is still a great little horror movie that will keep you on the edge of your seats. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes a tautly made horror film with a great atmosphere and minimal blood shed.

The problems of this quite good film are many, to begin with there is no growing tension as it should be in this kind of movies as in the classic number 1 The Blair Witch Project, which has grossed 245 million dollars in the face of 60 thousand dollars of production, here there are many words stories that are useless do not create the slightest interest or fear, then there is almost the whole film the annoying presence of the policeman who know that he is the producer and perhaps also the protagonist companion, But unfortunately the cumbersome always remains an annoying presence, in my opinion she should have conducted the investigations alone for at least meta film and then spend the night in the house finding the way between noise and others so of growing tension in the final epilogue.

THE LOST FOOTAGE OF LEAH SULLIVAN is about the title character's (Anna Stromberg) journalism class project / investigation into some murders that occurred thirty years earlier, in a small town in Massachusetts. At first, everything is upbeat, and by the book. Leah is joined by a good-natured cop (Burt Grinstead). Together, they uncover a lot more than they had anticipated.

As she digs deeper, Leah's video begins to take on a much more ominous quality.

As far as "found footage" horror films go, this is a pretty good one. The primary ruse works well, with Leah's "project" making it easier for the viewer to suspend disbelief, and accept her filming of everything. Of course, as in many of these FF movies, there comes a time when using a camera is absurd, like when in a life-or-death struggle. It happens here too.

Still, it's worth watching. The tension builds slowly, in a casual, natural way, right up until the bonkers finale. Is it scary? Somewhat, although it's extremely difficult to be original in this subgenre.

Ms. Stromberg co-wrote the screenplay, along with Mr. Grinstead, who also directed it...

This movie didn't have much going for it. A journalism student leaves her footage behind when she tries to solve a cold case of a murdered family. She strikes up a relationship with a local cop who helps her in her project. The flick has some endearment but little to no suspense. The best part is the stories of the different people who go missing.

I started watching this movie, gave it 15 minutes, and then found myself skipping to the last 15. The characters just didn't grab me, and there was nothing to pique my interest. Even then, I ended up fast-forwarding to the last five minutes, just to be done with it.

As a true horror fan, I look for a quality storyline, a few good jump scares, some shock value, and a sprinkle of gore or something to give me chills long after the credits roll. This movie, however, was a bust. During those final five minutes, all I could think was, "Please, just end already!" It had a bit of a Blair Witch vibe towards the end, and while it might be a slow burn, I honestly questioned if it was burning at all.

To all my fellow horror geeks out there, I strongly recommend giving this one a hard pass.

Clueless girl want to do school report on house of murders 30 years ago, and stumbles through half dorky, half sweet investigation into the story, with the help of a cop that just can't say no to her it seems. No spoilers here, but accepting these premises, it's not all bad -we get to see raw footage of her interviews to get the backstory and eventually visits to the house, and yes it gets found footage creepy as clues turn up more than expected- all in all, not bad, a little simple maybe but for the FFH fan, I wont say it's a gem! But it's okay, could have been made into a proper movie with some more serious directing and script.

OK I thought they had some decent scenes in the interviews (especially the cousin of Joe who was so New Englandish she could be a Kennedy ) . And I understand it's hard to make FF gold unless maybe you hire some amazing veteran writers,and even then very hard. I thought my PLEX account was screwing up at the movies end, but no it was just a unbelievably bad sucky ending that I had to go back 3 times because I SWORE I missed the actual ending. I am ecstatic I didn't spend actual money at a theater to see this ( bless you God of streaming.) So Found Footage is still a guilty pleasure and a GO-TO of mine because of the scares and tension-mounting suspense that the good ones afford us fans.
