Congratulations on the new baby girl! Sagittarius Queen 👸

Poughkeepsie tapes is definitely a rough watch but it's soooo good. Very well executed found footage concept and the reality of the premise is what really sells it.

The Blair Witch Project is pretty much the only reason the rest of the movies in the tier list exist so of course it would have be top tier.

I still talk about The Tunnel, that movie freaked me out more than most. That scene where they can hear noises through the sound guys equipment. So creepy!! **It's still free to watch on RU-vid. I recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to watch!

Cloverfield is hands down the best found footage, it just feels so real , like i could know and have known people like the characters and do and act the same in a disaster situation, and not seeing the monster for the majority of the film builds all the tension for when you actually get to see it

you should definitely do a tier list of horror movies with plot twists!

I'm definitely interested in watching more found footage films, especially lesser known ones. Also, omg! Congrats on the new baby! Hope you and her are healthy and that you get as much sleep as possible whenever you have the change!

I'm glad to see someone else who likes Unfriended! I remember when it came out, people made fun of it so much based solely on the premise. I finally got around to watching it when it was added to Netflix and thought it was very well executed! It definitely doesn't get the appreciation it deserves

Congratulations on your baby girl!! Your found footage videos are my favorite ❤️ such a nice treat while you’re recovering! Take care of yourself ❤️❤️

Congrats on the baby!! Awesome to see that you’re already active on the horror channel again, even if it’s pre recorded!!

Hoping you and baby are both doing well ❤️ I will definitely have plenty of recommendations from this video to watch while awaiting your return! Take all the time you need and enjoy being a new mom!

rip, I love The Visit! The old people were creepy cause they were acting creepy lol not just cause they were old. definitely has replay value too. Not perfect but “underrated gem” would be a good 6th tier.

Lake Mungo should at least be a Hidden Gem (to me it is perfect). It is not relentlessly scary, it is the key revelation that - when you think back to the events of the movie, makes everything truly chilly and scary. And then there is this theory floating around Reddit… I’m glad that both Unfriended and As Above so Below are in the top tier. I loved both when they came out and somehow it seemed that I was the only one who appreciated them. Now they are both small classics.

You’ve just given me a new holiday marathon theme! :) congrats on the new addition to your family 💜

Congrats on the baby! I'm so crazy with found footage that I always love almost all - my favourite movies list is full of home invasion and found footage, it is just an easy recipe that opens space for creativity and diffirent movie!

Quite chocked at myself for finding new found footage!! Thank you!! I've seen most of them and I'm always on the lookout for new ones, they also my favorite style of horror movie - the vibes and how you get to feel the way the characters feels - there's something really unique in found footage.

paranormal activity scared me so badly. I was 12 when my mom took me to see it in the theater and she had me convinced it was real and the fear I felt from that movie... wow, I have never been so scared in my whole life.

Definitely need to watch some of these! Thanks for the video Sarah and congratulations again on babygirl❤️

Seeing Blair Witch in middle school is probably the reason I love this genre so much! I see I have a few movies to add to my list thanks!!!!

I remember when I 1st saw quarantine. I literally couldn't sleep that night. All I kept think was how plausible it actually is for a scientist to go of the deep end and do gain of function research on something like rabies. The whole attic scene scared me pretty good. I know this isn't a found footage movie,but I have to say that none of these movies scared me more than hereditary did.

i love found footage horror and i love your tierlists!! glad to see both in one video

not you naming the only iphone that does not exist 7:45 😭

I do wonder sometimes how the movie The Descent would have worked if it was a found footage film instead (but obviously told from different POV cameras on their helmets)

Paranormal activity 3 was the best of the series. It was the 80s one, great scares and good pacing.

I was in complete shock when you put The Visit in the "ban" tier. That's a greeeeat movie. The rest of the list is pretty much correct

Cloverfield was probably the first scary movie I watched as a kid definitely the first found footage one and honestly it holds such a special place in my heart everytime I rewatch it, it still gets me. It sparked my love of found footage so I give it a lot of credit for that (we don’t talk about the sequels)

First off, congrats on your baby!!! I just stumbled across your channel the other day and really enjoyed your Found Footage Tier List! FF is one of my favorite sub-genres and I enjoy hearing what other people think about them. You may have since seen these or some may not have been released yet, but I wanted to add some that weren’t in your video (including sequels). In no particular order: - Area 51 - Alien Abduction - The Houses October Built 2 - Rec 2 - Apollo 18 - Nightlight - Troll Hunter - Heilstatten (Haunted Hospital) - Open Water 3: Cage dive - The River (series) - Sanatorium - Jeruzalem - Found Footage 3D - Borderlands (Final Prayer) - Hell House LLC 2: The Abandon Hotel - Hell House lLC 3: Lake of Fire - Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor - VHS 2, VHS Viral, VHS 94, VHS 99, VHS 85 - Paranormal Activity 2-4, The Marked Ones, The Ghost Dimension, Next of Kin - They’re Watching - The Gracefield Incident - The Devil Inside - Exists - Strayed - Deadware - Final Project - Followed - The Monster Project - Ghoul - Classroom 6 - One Cut of the Dead - Devil’s Due Other Mentions: - Chernobyl Diaries (not FF, but shot POV style) - Silent House (not FF, but shot POV style and to look like one shot) - The Deep House (not FF, but shot POV style with FF elements) - Searching (mystery/thriller) - Missing (mystery/thriller) - The Dinosaur Project (adventure/sci-fi) - Chronicle (sci-fi not horror) - Into the Storm (disaster/sci-fi not horror) - Project Almanac (sci-fi not horror) - Hardcore Henry (action/sci-fi)

If you like more alien/sci fi FOUND FOOTAGE movies then I recommend you watching these: Area 51 (2015) Chronicles (2012, also MUST WATCH, it's rlly good) Alien Abduction (2014) The Phoenix Incident (2015) Apollo 18 (2011) (must watch as it's my favourite) I just love found footage films in general, especially when it comes to sci-fi/monsters Also, Apollo 18 is a gem

I love found footage and I’m so excited to watch some of these I haven’t seen because based on your previous videos, we have very similar tastes! I also watched Gonjiam around Halloween week and I was so freaked out and I’m so glad I saw it and know it exists because of you :)

I wonder how the footage got lost in the first place.

So happy this list is out and so happy for you and you baby girl

Can we just appreciate the love and care PossessedByHorror puts into these videos!

Conrats on the little one!!! And thank you sooooo much for doing this list found footage is up there with one of my favorite sub genre of horror films!! Happy holidays and have a wonderful new year!!! ❤️‍🔥🎉🎁❤️‍🔥🫀❤️‍🔥🎁🎉❤️‍🔥

I love when you do the tier lists! I look forward to more, but not sure if there's any more to do....lol

Aint no way you put the blair witch remake as a perfect recipe

My two favorites are Creep and Be my cat. :D A few other especially good ones would be Hell house LLC, Butterfly kisses, Incantation, Host, and Deborah Logan. Such an amazing genre of movies! 🖤 Also: Congratulations on your new little baby! 💖 Take good care of yourself now 💗

You always make the best tier lists!! 🧡💕

Eeeeekkkkkk!! I'm so excited for you. Few youtubers have kept my attention for years. I never miss a video on this channel. Your baby is one lucky little one 💓 I wish the 3 of you the best and hope everything goes smooth and as peaceful as possible for yas! See you when you return 🎄❤️

i feel lake mungo was brushed aside a bit too quickly. i don't think the movie was supposed to be super scary but rather more emotional. in that sense, i'd put it in perfect recipe. i'll say though, when you think more about the implications of what happened to the girl, it becomes harrowing

Congrats on the baby! My best friend is literally about to be in labor soon! She asked me be the weird aunt since I’m an only child 😊

Also, really sad Spree wasn't in this. More just comedy slasher than horror but still unnerving, and the way it uses so many types of types of footage from livestreaming, snapchat, youtube videos etc is really cool.

WELCOME BACK QUEENIE

Devils Pass is a hidden gem IMO. With a real twist of an ending. Check it out

Great Tier List, Sarah!!! Congratulations!!!! Here you are a few hidden gems: Ratter (2015), Delivery (I) (2013), Jeruzalem (2015), Butterfly Kisses (2018), Long Pigs (2007), Next of Kin (2021), Hangman (2015), The Last Horror Movie (2003), My Little Eye (2002), Home Movie (2008), Chernobyl Diaries 2012.

Devil's Pass was my first horror movie I ever watched! I was so glad to see you include it!

First: congratulations!! Second: Awesome tier list! Found footage might be my fav horror subgenre. Also, I'm happy The Tunnel made its way to you. I was so worried it was gonna get lost in the mail, lol.

YESSSS POSSESSEDBYBABY IS FINALLY HERE ❤❤❤

I couldn't agree more about The Tunnel, omg. One of my all-time favorites. The atmosphere, the acting, and the premise are all great. Plus I remember it giving me CRAZY nightmares the first time I saw it. It really is almost impossible to find (buuuut anyone who's interested should type "The Tunnel 2011" into the youtube search bar hehe)

Horror movies always grab my attention. A few of the ones on this list I checked out in the middle of the night after searching through titles and not knowing what to watch. I always end up in the horror section 😄. Thanks for the list, you named a few I haven't seen yet!

Nice list, but I couldn't find my favorite here - The Borderlands (also known as Final Prayer). It's a really dark and Lovecraftian film that turns grim beyond measure towards the end.

I freaking loved the gallows and I think it’s because I watched it in the right setting: me and a friend alone in the theater at night. We thought we’d be making fun of it but we were both exhausted from a long day abs it just ended up freaking us tf out.

Great list! I love found footage movies. One of my favorites that I didn't see on here is the absolutely no budget hidden gem "Bad Ben"

Great list I'll definitely have to check out some of those hidden gems. When be my cat came up I was immediately like oh that's the reason for the baned category. I haven't seen it thankfully. I was actually hoping you might include the Andy Baker tapes as I've been wondering if its worth the watch. I guess I'll have to check it out for myself

Lake Mungo disrespect WILL NOT BE TOLERATED MISS!!

I love found footage! it has the most great films of any horror subgenre imo; off the top of my head (and in no particular order, apart from number 1), here are some of my favourites: The Blair Witch Project, Willow Creek, Creep, Exists, REC, Alien Abduction, The Taking of Deborah Logan, Troll Hunter, Lake Mungo, Grave Encounters, JeruZalem, The Macpherson Tape, Hell House LLC, Afflicted, Antrum, The Bay, Butterfly Kisses, The Last Exorcism, The Dark Tapes, Unsane, Digging Up the Marrow, Europa Report, Host, Incantation, The Last Broadcast, Noroi: The Curse, Paranormal Activity, The Ritual, The Sacrament, The Poughkeepsie Tapes, Phoenix Forgotten, VHS 94, Cloverfield

I'm surprised you haven't done this already too! I don't see Butterfly Kisses on here but I'm pretty sure you recommended it before- I watched it recently and it was really good. Looking forward to watching more from this tier list!

So glad somebody is talking about Afflicted.. saw it way back when it came out. I love it

Gonna have to disagree on Megan is Missing in the sense that... for me it's a modern day PSA. Kids are to trusting nowaday and talk to anyone online, send pics, download anything... It's shocking but gets the point across.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes might be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. I had to watch numerous reviews afterwards to convince myself it wasn't real. I've never felt so gross after watching a film before.

Watched The Bay for the first time this halloween and was very pleasantly surprised, it was very good and had that great creepy crawly type of visuals that is great for creeping me out

Congrats on your baby girl!! So happy for your little family ❤

When it comes to found footage, IMO, how you see it makes a huge difference. I saw The Blair Witch Project on TV (Commercials break sooo much tension.) with my grandmother, and it was a very disappointing experience. The hype didn't help. I probably would have really enjoyed it in theatre, going in blind though. Paranormal Activity, on the other hand, I saw in an empty theatre, and didn't know anything about it going in. (I randomly had a free ticket through my job.) Anyway, it was, without a doubt, my best theatre experience EVER. Going in blind, and being completely alone made all of the scares hit hard. It was so good. TBH, I've been scared to rewatch it, because I know the second viewing could never live up to the first.

HTF is Noroi that low down? It trumps everything else on that list lmao. Cannibal Holocaust has every right to be on that list.....it wasn't the first but it very much kick started the sub-genre, despite it's deficiencies it's an incredibly powerful film.

I just discovered your channel and my taste in movies/books is so similar to yours! One bigfoot movie that freaked me out was "Exists". The cover is hideous but there's one part with a bike trail that made me JUMP. Also, have you seen Atrocious? If you're a new mom, it might be upsetting, but that one stuck with me for a long time for how creepy it was. This is such a good list it's hard to add anything to it. You've probably seen all the good ones by now.

hello i just found your channel. great job! 15:00 i also recommend the phoenix incident and the phoenix tapes to complete the trilogy.

You need to watch The Borderlands if you love found footage! Its really good. Some classics I think you missed if you like the genre (but I don't rate them) are 'The collingswood Story, The Last Broadcast and The McPherson Tapes'.

FINALLY someone whom I agree with on the Blair Witch Remake / Sequel from 2016 ! I find it genuinely terrifying, good tension building and the climax is SO TENSE ! Great tier list, once again ^_^

I was so happy you put as above so below in perfect recipe, it's one of my all time favorite movies

yesssss! needed this video! congrats on baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️

HELL YEAH happy to hear you specifically talk about found footage! Not many people appreciate it for what it is!

I have seen As Above So Below twice now and I still don’t understand the hype. For the people that do like it, I genuinely wanna know why

I would HIGHLY recommend watching a pseudo-doc, called Horror in the High Desert. It’s about a hiker who went missing, after discovering a cabin in one of the most remote remote areas in Arizona. It’s loosely based on the very true story of missing hiker Kenny Veach. The last 15 minutes of the film, creeped me to 11, and I don’t scare easily.

Congrats on the little one! Wish y'all the best! ❤️

This came at the perfect time! I'm participating in Found Footage February which is exactly what it sounds. Watching found footage movies I've never seen in Feb lol

I watched Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum because of your recommendation and I was blown AWAY. I just started watching this video but I already know where it's gonna go 😌

I was surprised by how many of these I've seen actually. I really enjoyed the Taking of Deborah Logan, I've actually rewatched it a few times, so 100% agree with your ranking there! Great video ❤️

Oh my god I am new to your channel but congrats on having a baby! Wishing you the best of luck at everything!

Great effort on the list! I really appreciate videos like this, though respectfully I am surprised that cannibal Holocaust did not make an appearance in the list, considering it being an absolute pioneer of the found footage genre.

You've talked about Gonjiam so much that i've decided to give it a go and... ohhhh boy it was scary! I don't get scared easily watching horror but during certain scenes i literally had to cover my face and peek. Absolutely loved it, minus the beginning which i agree is a bit too dragged and slow, if not for that it would literally be a perfect movie for me!

Last category should’ve been called “should’ve stayed lost”!!! Congrats on your baby girl!!!

perfect for the holidays

Congratulations 🎊 you guys be great parents!! I'm trying to convince myself to watch antlers and triangle!! Luv ya!!

Good list! I would add 'The Monster Project', 'The Possession of Michael King' and 'Jeruzalem' 👍

Unsane isn’t found footage I don’t think. Yeah it was shot with an iPhone but none of the characters were filming it.

Some that I would recommend: Home Movie, Savagelands, Exhibit A, Occult, Trollhunter, Digging Up The Marrow, Butterfly Kisses, and I have a soft spot for Always Watching, A Marble Hornets Movie.

I like movie's made like unfriended, #1 in my book. Now Megan is missing, teenager's need to be aware this can happen. And not, Shhh lets not talk about it. I liked The fear footage, low budget, but not bad.

But REC is the original, not Quarantine.

First time watching your channel and this was awesome. I have watched so many FF movies. You really have to judge them completely differently than other movies. Sometimes the fact that they are so bad makes them good. I would love to know your thoughts on the Bad Ben series (I love them!). Also Leaving DC is a great one.

Congratulations on your baby!!! Also I used to HATE found footage movies but im starting to like them.

Constructive criticism, and remember I’m just some random asshole on the internet who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but I think putting hidden gem as the second category limited you. If it were me, I’d have had the categories be S-Perfect Recipe A- Well done B-Meh.. C- Terrible! D- Satan’s Afterbirth

idk if it counts, but I just recently seen Lake Mungo, and jesus it really shook me to my core. Wondering if it's gonna be on this list haha Edit: Yay! Definitely not outwardly scary besides that *one* scene, but I can't stop thinking about it and it's themes. Every night before I step into my house I turn my back to make sure an omen of my death isn't walking behind me. Also the very end where the girl is still trapped in the house without her family solving her potential murder... ugh so good

I loved Ratter, saw it once one Netflix (UK) years ago and it shook me a little, being hacking/stalking via phones and webcams. I never hear anyone mention it. Love that there's this list I can refer to when I'm stuck for a film x

CONGRATULATIONS on your new baby girl! Take the time to cherish every moment.

I will defend the Visit being a perfect gem, it does that 'old person trope' perfectly even if you don't like it and the twist at the end matches plot well. You should also probably done just an A-F category list because you ended up with a lot of movies that you were reluctantly putting above other movies

Shame to not see Butterfly Kisses on the list. It's got a great concept, is pretty damn good and deserves more attention than it gets.

Hope everything went well, and congratulations! 😊

Can someone tell me where I can watch Noroi: the curse Because it’s not available in this country on prime or shudder or amc+ or iTunes
