20 Best Found Footage Horror Movies Ever
8. Be My Cat: A Film for Anne
Few found footage films are as inherently deranged as Be My Cat: A Film for Anne, the DIY filmmaking debut of Adrian Țofei, who stars as a fictionalised version of himself desperate to convince Anne Hathaway to star in his new movie.
In order to entice Hathaway, Tofei shoots demo footage with several local actresses in his native Romania, the results of which show him to be a horrifyingly disturbed individual.
Though clearly produced for a pittance, the rough technical edges only make Be My Cat seem that much more authentic, yet the film simply wouldn't succeed without Țofei's perfectly pitched central performance. While his protagonist is undeniably grating, his initial harmlessness swiftly gives way to reveal the man's dark heart, resulting in numerous superbly executed suspense sequences you might have to watch through splayed fingers.
Given that Adrian Țofei wasn't a public figure at the time of the film's 2015 release, it was tough for audiences of the era to deduce precisely where the character ended and he began.
