That was an excellent one.
Sorry, this movie sucks
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
"Found" may very well be one of the most difficult films I ever reviewed It completely wasn't what I expected, but then again I didn't really know what to expect. It is definitely a horror movie, but simultaneously also one of those films that are unclassifiable. Like several other reviewers around here, I'm tempted to label it as a "coming-of-age" story, but those are usually pretentious and boring, and "Found" most certainly is not! And finally, I don't want to use too many enthusiast superlatives, because it honestly isn't that unique or fantastic, neither. The least I can say for myself is that "Found" pleasantly surprised me in some ways and also that it made me think. Not necessarily about deeply philosophical subjects, but merely about how simple and identifiable the most shocking horror tales actually are.The one thing I find absolutely astonishing in Todd Rigney's screenplay (adapted from his own novel) is the realism and authenticity of the lead characters, and particularly of the young protagonist Marty. I recognize a lot of myself in Marty from when I was around that age. Finally a normal 12-year-old who loves watching gory horror movies without hinting that he's abnormal, disturbed or potentially dangerous. Marty says early in the film: "I like watching violence, but I'm not a violent person myself". That's exactly what I'm forced to repeat to people over and over again when I tell them about my passion for extreme cinema. I have been intrigued with sick and sadist violence for as long as I can remember, and – like with Marty - my parents never made a big deal out of it, but I never felt the urge to hurt another living creature or was unable to function in society. I consider "Found" as one of the best horror stories of the last 10-15 years if it were only for the verity of Marty's character. And the same actually goes for his parents as well. They actually come across as good people and decent parents; not like the clichéd type of abusive and alcoholic parents who are generally responsible for the later failures of their children. Of course, I didn't have an older brother who was a serial killer and kept severed heads in his closet, but obviously Todd Rigney needed at least one extraordinary lead character, otherwise his novel and screenplay would have been quite boring. So, Marty discovered that his older brother Steve is a murdering psychopath and he's terrified of him. Marty desperately tries to hide from Steve that he knows his dark secret, but also can't resist snooping around in his brother's horror closet and impressive VHS horror collection. Marty has very few friends and gets bullied at school, but the evil hobby of his brother and also Steve's increasingly protective behavior give Marty more confidence and strength to stand up for himself. "Found" is film of extreme opposites. The atmosphere of the main story is foreboding and the pacing is rather slow. There practically isn't any action and even the intense climax is suggestive and unsettling rather than explicit and confronting. In sheer contrast to all this, however, there's a large portion of film-within-film footage that is utterly violent, sickening and gratuitous. The supposedly lost horror movie is called "Headless" and follows a deranged killer wearing an eerie skull-mask as he's ruthlessly butchering young women and sodomizing their mutilated corpses. If it weren't for the "Headless" footage, and perhaps 2 or 3 human heads in a bowling bag, "Found" would only be a talkative and atmospheric coming-of-age story (albeit a very good one) Based on popular demand, "Headless" got turned into a full-length separate film, directed by make-up wizard Arthur Cullipher and starring Shane Beasley as the deranged killer. According to many people whose opinions I trust, it's just as vile and uncompromising as the footage shown in "Found". Needless to say I will do whatever I can to see it as soon as possible.
Marty, 12 years old is a young Horror obsessed pre-teen. He also knows about his older brother Steve's darkest secret: That Steve is a serial killer. Bullied at school and by his own father, perhaps Marty has found even more than a protector in his brother? The only problem is what might happen to him if Steve discovers what his younger bro knows.FOUND isn't too far from perfection in the horror genre in my opinion. And it achieves this without even abusing the massacre and gore scenes. Don't panic gore hounds. This film will eventually deliver the goods. But what i liked the most about it is that i was glued to the screen from start to finish despite the slow burn style of FOUND. And it managed to scare me and disturb me even with so little. Because the film is a rare realistic portrait of a family, the most ordinary and average family at first sight, entangled in nothing but everyday problems. Some things that we as a society tend to ignore and/or shovel down deep inside and under the rugs.If there are things that i've always found hard to stand both in real life and in movies are things like violence on Women, kids, animals, racism and of course the ever present and growing problem that is bullying. That bullying happens in school or at home in the confort of what should be a safe place, it has become a matter with such amplitude that teachers will ignore the bullied like there was nothing that can possibly be done to end a feud between 2 kids. That until a bullied kid finally replies to a bully, which often results into having a nice kid grounded, and sometimes worst: Beaten in return and/or perceived as a young waste of flesh by our society's great thinkers.Briefly, bullying is such a nightmare and FOUND reflects that reality in such a scary way. This rarety in the Horror genre is to be witnessed at your own risks. This is not a subject matter that you bring to the table at dinner. And there is such a violence involved in this film that even the scenes where it is left to the viewer's imagination might enrage or disgust and disturb someone.
To make you an idea the Blair witch Project back in 1999 have an estimated budget of $60.000 so think for ten seconds on that.$8.000 have to be something like 15 minutes of Brad Pitts's salary and this guy made a movie with that ...I was coming to point out the flaws and now that I know this I only can say this guy is a genius;With that money people these days do not make even a short.Now the sensation that the movie gave me was that it one of those that can surprise you (my case) or offend you.It is disturbing ,original and macabre and at the same time deals with a lot of dramatic family issues like secrets and the relationship between parents and sons.The cast and the acting has some point amateurish but it gave it a touch of realism in it own flaw.The faces in the cast are not the cliché pretty boys kind so it adds something more it remind me of HARMONY KORINE type of cast before Selena Gomez and James Franco.I recommended this movie to the people that want to see a dramatic thriller with real horror and I advice you not to see trailers go and dive in this one whit confident it will not let you indifferent.Knowing now about the budget for it originality I give it 9 out 10 Thank you well done!
This movie is proof that a good story will overshadow any budgetary limitations. I'd heard of this film for quite some time because of all the rave reviews. I don't usually watch new horror movies because I think they're generally unwatchable but I decided to give Found. a look because I was so curious to see what the production did with only $8,000. Well, I was engaged from the opening scene when a young boy named Marty tells us through voice over that he sneaks into his older brother Steve's room when he's not home just so he can take a look at the severed heads he keeps in his closest. Needless to say, Steve is a serial killer and Marty's the only person who knows his older brother's secret.The film gave me chills in a way very few films do. There's something very real and disturbing about the subject matter that does not let up until the end credits roll much like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.It is important to point out that aside from the story, every other aspect of the film is incredibly amateur. The footage looks like it was shot on a digital camera from the early 2000s, the sound is very poor and the acting from most of the cast is very amateur. Does it matter? Surprisingly not at all. I basically ignored all of this because the story was so captivating and relevant to today's society that I just wanted to see how much worse this young boy's nightmare could get...and it gets indescribably horrifying.Kudos to the team for basically picking up a camera and using whatever resources they had to tell such a twisted story. If you're mature enough to get past the budgetary limitations and appreciate the film for what it is, you will not be disappointed. This is coming from a die hard horror fan. Best horror film I've seen in many years.
