>As a horror fan this is upsetting.because so many these days are found footage.

I don't think this is even true anymore. I watched like 30 horror movies that came out last year and maybe 1 or 2 of them were found footage. That trend has mostly died out over the last 5-10 years.

Not only is it not true, it's never been true. Here is a comprehensive list of every found footage movie that's been released over the years. It indicates only three were released in 2021. According to this list on IMDB, there were 1,388 horror movies released in 2021. That means 3 out of 1,388 horror movies or 0.2% were found footage films, lol.

EDIT: It's weird that OP would even make that claim because elsewhere in this thread they linked to a horror movie database that's incomplete and doesn't include every horror movie by a long shot. But even the information they provided has found footage films at 1.7% of their total database and 2.9% of the movies released in 2022. It's laughable to talk about these films as though they're a huge part of the film industry or horror genre.

You watched 30 films that came out last year? Which ones?

2022 horror movies roughly in order of how much I liked them:

Barbarian

Bones and All

Nope

Skinamarink

Pearl

Bodies Bodies Bodies

Adult Swim Yule Log

Men

Watcher

Scream 5

Smile

Werewolf by Night

No Exit

The Menu

Speak No Evil

Watcher

Crimes of the Future

Deadstream

Halloween Ends

Hellraiser

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Escape the Field

So far this year I've also seen M3gan and Infinity Pool. Of all of those movies, only Deadstream is found footage, and even that one is produced to look like a Twitch stream so there's more production value than something like Blair Witch Project. Skinamarink isn't found footage but it does sort of feel like it.

i like your ranking for the most part. For me I would rank the top lower and move X, Pearl, smile, and Scream up to the top. Thats me. I am glad to meet another horror fan. I agree with your least liked films. Halloween Ends wtf was that? LOL also TCM on Netflix... that bus scene is all you need to see in the movie to know that it is the worst.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed the bus scene in TCM. The rest of the movie sucked ass though
