10 Best Hidden Gem Found Footage Horror Movies
7. Butterfly Kisses (2018)
One of the most compelling things a horror movie can do is get introspective. So, why not enjoy a found footage movie about a man trying to prove the legitimacy of a found footage movie?
Butterfly Kisses tells two narratives, the first comes from in-world footage of a pair of film students making a documentary about an urban legend known as Peeping Tom. The second is from another filmmaker who discovers these tapes and loses his mind when trying to make his own movie.
This combination of opposing narratives is compelling as it gives you the best of both worlds. On one side, you have an eerie paranormal tale with a terrifying entity, a juicy dose of urban legend lore, and some twisted moments. However, on the other side is a captivating psychological tale of a man's spiral into obsession and the consequences that come with it.
Overall, fans of supernatural and psychological horror will find this flick to be a satisfying sandwich of the two genres.
