10 More Found Footage Fates Worse Than Death
2. Being The Motivation For A Psychopath - Be My Cat: A Film For Anne
Likely to have flown under the radar of many, 2015's Be My Cat: A Film for Anne is a found footage feature about an Anne Hathaway obsessive.
Playing somewhat like Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass' Creep, A Film for Anne centres on wannabe filmmaker Adrian (Adrian Tofei) as he desperately tries to get Hathaway to visit Romania and star in his movie. Adrian's obsession with the Hollywood actress comes from his own love of cats and from seeing Hathaway play Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises.
In trying to lure Hathaway to sign up for his latest project, Adrian puts together test footage with a few aspiring local actresses. With his film - titled Be My Cat - focussing on a deranged Anne Hathaway fan, the lines become blurred between reality and fiction as Adrian flits between director and becoming his character of the deranged Hathaway fan.
Pushing himself over the edge, Adrian ends up offing a few people before A Film for Anne ends with potential victim Alexandra convincing him to scrap his movie and head for Hollywood to be with Anne Hathaway. And, in a surprise, Adrian decides to do just that, sparing Alexandra in the process.
For the in-universe Hathaway of this film, knowing she'd fuelled a murderer would certainly be a hard pill to swallow - even if this was all out of her control.
