That being said i liked this, it had a good story and a cool ending and the "found footage" style actually wasn't annoying.
The only new age found footage horror movies I like is V/H/S (2012), V/H/S 2 (2013), and The Den (2013). V/H/S Viral (2014) disappointed me and I don't consider it a part of the V/H/S canon. The Blair Witch Project (1999) was good, but not my favorite found footage film. I have yet to see Cloverfield (2008). Cannibal Holocaust (1980) was messed up! I heard they really killed a tortoise for that film. I love horror films but I don't condone killing off a living creature just to get a shot.

If it was in today's age, the found footage may be on a hard drive, Blu-Ray, DVD, or cloud storage. I remember Halloween Resurrection (2002) did a Live Stream kind of found footage thing, but please let's never discuss Halloween Resurrection, again. Resurrection and the Halloween movies thereafter have been terrible, in my opinion.
