sweener-50-818364 First off, do you notice that all the good reviews on this movie were from the same location? Same country that it was released? I will bet anyone a million bucks these are reviews from someone having an association with the production of this film or the film makers themselves. Moving on, I am actually one of the few that really enjoys a good "found footage" movie. I will even let some of the more criticized films squeak by with an, "that was OK" or "at least the story was decent". This "movie" was absolutely horrible. The writing/casting/directing/acting was quite possibly the worst I have ever seen. I started the movie really wanting to give it a chance, for hope that I had found a new good "found footage" film. I was sorely mistaken. You could tell the actors were trying to act "random" to portray the fact that it was supposed to be real time and live, but what came out was forced and very cheesy/ unrealistic. Cheesy to the point where you hoped that these actors/ actresses considered acting lessons after the conclusion of filming. The story had an interesting start but just completely dragged on and for nothing. You may choose to watch like I did, hoping for a new hidden gem to add to your collection, but what you will find is fools gold.

btterfly75 It's a pretty cool back story and the legend is a real legend. Any movie with a a killer who wields an ax a classicly terrifying image. Def some Blair Witchy goings on with shaking tent. It was terrifying in B.W. ... It's been ripped off because it works. However, all of these things were insignificant bits of nothingness compared to the disturbing, pathetic, delusional behavior of the main guy. This whole thing was dreamed up, cultivated and executed for one purpose.... To have time and ultimately have sex with one or both of the hottest girls in college. I suspect it would be his first time with sexy because he's so creepy and inappropriate nearly the whole movie. It was amusing at first but as the movie progressed it got to be frustrating. His advances are repeatly rebuffed but yet he has the illusion of grandeur to nsanely say with a straight face .... They are here for me and I'm not with them now but I will be after this.... It's almost changed from horror to a comedy.What I took away most is its clear he doesn't own a mirror or have a friend....

Emily Johnston Found footage movies such as Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity have been very successful both in their ability to excite and scare people. When I watched "Severed Footage" the intensity that built coupled with the uncanny authenticity of certain events immediately gave me reason to rank it superior to previous found footage films. I enjoyed watching the college kids as they planned this project, typical students and fun to watch, I could relate as a student myself. The sheer truth behind the storyline was frightening but so captivating that I had to watch the movie again. It was very well done and enjoyed by many including myself.

John Russel "Severed Footage" was enjoyable to watch for lots of reasons. I enjoyed the storyline development (it wasn't just in your face gore or non stop violence) , the character development was fun to watch, and the composition of the movie itself led up to the surprising climax of the film, with subtle humour and great drama. The beauty of that part of the world just shines so naturally in this film. I especially liked the tie-in to the infamous history and unsavoury characters let loose on Newcastle Island in the recent past, as well as the yet unsolved mystery that is current news of 12 severed feet washing up the area beaches, but maybe this leaked footage exposes that mystery. None of this great drama has ever been told in film that I'm aware of. Three cheers for a job well done!!!
