20 Best Found Footage Horror Movies Ever
4. The Borderlands
The Borderlands - or Final Prayer, as it's known in the United States - is a totally unassuming found footage film which uses its seemingly ordinary setup to lure the audience into a false sense of security.
Indeed, pretty much everything about this one looks like a generic, bog-standard entry at an initial glance, but writer-director Elliot Goldner does a marvelous job of mining this spooky British romp for every drop of anxious tension.
It helps that Goldner introduces us to a memorable and hilarious protagonist by way of techie Gray, played so well by Robin Hill, as he and a team of Vatican investigators research one hell of a creepy old church. Even with clear budgetary constraints, Goldner manages to gamely hint at something much larger-scale percolating beneath the surface - quite literally, in fact, in the film's genuinely shocking, brilliantly executed final sequence you won't soon forget, if ever.
