20 Best Found Footage Horror Movies Ever

11. Ghostwatch

Only in recent years has Ghostwatch finally gotten the flowers it deserves, in part because the faux-documentary proved so jarring to the British nation during its 1992 TV premiere that it was never re-aired, only re-entering the public consciousness as it became available on streaming over the past decade.

Even though modern audiences are acutely aware that Ghostwatch wasn't a real TV broadcast, the presentation is so brilliantly persuasive that it's incredibly easy to buy into the illusion.

The film cleverly fuses the glossy sheen of a real BBC broadcast - fronted by actual TV personalities such as Michael Parkinson and Craig Charles - with footage from inside an apparently haunted London house that's just fuzzy enough that one can appreciate why it alarmed so many back in 1992.

While it'd be easy for such a blatant product of early '90s British culture to seem toe-curlingly corny when viewed today, Ghostwatch's of-its-time style instead makes it feel like an eerie relic that's still supremely watchable.
