The 20 Most Realistic Found Footage Horror Movies
Found footage horror is a very effective technique. But the following films went beyond the intention of shock and felt too real for our comfort.
Why are horror films based on true events equally or more successful than those based on pure fiction? It's a question that shouldn't linger for so long, as audiences have been pretty clear about what they like and why. People are curious, and if they have the opportunity to see a reenactment of something that happened, regardless of realism, they will run. See the case of the true crime subgenre, for example. If a crime drama is based on fiction, it's not even close to one that's based on fact. Morbid curiosity is a reality, and yes, movies and TV shows have capitalized on that.
