Severed Footage

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.

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....

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.

I'd rate this a 0 if I could...

All these "actors" shouldn't be allowed to even try to make another "film" ever again. They're all terrible, they really can't act at all and they are all annoying. I assume the good reviews come from their friends or something, because this movie is utter trash. It doesn't deserve to be distributed.

It's just really hard to take this movie seriously when everything feels like a bad attempt of a comedy. Yeah, it feels like a comedy but it's not funny, nor is it scary, nor is it anything at all. It's just bothersome. I sat through the whole thing just so that I could firmly say that THIS is one of the WORST found footage films (and probably films in general) out there.

Believe me, you don't want to waste your time on this one. I'm sure that any other FF film is a better example and a far superior effort.

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"
