Yep - found footage needs to be lost again. No one asks for it, no one wants it. It's like 3D.

Same here. Never liked them and never will. People that like this must never have anything else better to do. Can't say you won't fall into it. Like "The Blair Witch Project" was just the biggest premiere trailer hype ever and I fell for it and walked out pissed and even a 5 minute black out during the screening because the movie was made to do that, which was not even scary movie at all. Same goes for "The Conjuring" and it isn't even a found footage.

Yeah, same here. Not that I really hate the genre, but market is overflood with them. I am actually surprised when I see new horror that's NOT found footage, because everything seems to be FF these days.

There are few which work well with the genre, but I always found the (sub)genre limited. Even if I find myself believing that character would run around with camera and film pretty much anything (even during zombie apocalypse), format is still limited.

Absolutely CRAP movie....but then again - all Israeli movies are crap because Israelis are simply VERY BAD actors (and actresses) and i say that because i know ! (I'm Israeli MYSELF) !!! If it was up to me to decide - i wouldn't have even let this movie appear on IMDB !!
Save yourselves the time, money and aggravation and stay the hell away from this pile of garbage !!

Yep. There's always a phoney justification for not having the skill or the budget to shoot a story properly.

Not that again. Sounds like something a slightly senile 85 year old might say. A remark as ignorant as this, doesn't even get a fresh reply. Here, you get a very old and tired one (But not nearly as tired as yours).

Whether you like the genre or we can do better is no argument at all. It is garbage.

Found is not more real. WTH? Found footage is like reality television which is not real reality. It is crap.

This film is completely dreadful and should have never made it past the cutting room floor.

Created by a couple of college graduates these types of movies should be banned. Just horrible pan and zoom effects, blurry cross scenes etc. and with no story line and just plain bad acting not to mention the production.

Cloverfield and Blair Witch is where these films peeked and ended...

Blair Witch was awful.

I think "found footage" is probably considered an easy option for inexperienced film makers which is too bad because it has certainly over-saturated the genre with sub-par films (mind you, that can be said of horror in general).
I am wondering something about this Google Glass idea as I have never tried them. Many times in the film we see that the glasses have no connection or there is a "fatal error" message. So what exactly are the glasses recording to? Does the control pad have (enough) memory space for all that footage?

It is called I do not want to work hard for the money, so lets just make a crappy found footage movie.
