My feelings on the whole “found footage” genre of films is a bit mixed. I loved The Blair Witch Project, the movie that put the found footage genre on the map. I like Cloverfield. I also thought Paranormal Activity was pretty clever and scary as all get out. But I understand the genre can get a bit over done.
That being said, I really like this short film from Richard Boylan. He works at Bioware on video games like Mass Effect. It’s called Timelike and it’s awesome. The main character is caught in a time loop. So it’s like Groundhog Day, but way trippier. If I say any more, I’ll wreck it. So take eight minutes out of your day, and check this out.
