10 Scariest Found Footage Horror Movies
8. Incantation
If you have a fear of curses, taboo religious practices and unseen deities, then you might want to give this terrifying flick a miss - unless you're up for the challenge.
This Taiwanese horror movie shows the struggles of a mother who documents her attempts to save her daughter from a supernatural entity. It tells its story in a non-linear format, showing how the curse came about in the first place and the dire consequences it has had on this small family.
Incantation doesn't simply use found footage as a presentation for its story; it uses it to elevate the narrative. The movie's protagonist actively enlists your help in saving her daughter, giving the film a metanarrative that is deeply in-keeping with the subgenre. This doesn't just heighten the art - it also scares your pants off, as you cannot sink into a safe space away from the danger because you are an active part of it.
Besides its creative use of the medium, Incantation is also a thrill ride with plenty of tension, shocks and haunting imagery.
