That database only includes 9,426 horror movies, which obviously doesn't include every horror movie that's ever been released. But even among the database that you provided, only 167 of them are found footage, which equates to 1.7% of the total database. The database includes 403 horror movies from 2022 and 12 of those are found footage films, for a whopping 2.9% of the total horror movies in 2022.

How you can talk about found footage films and seriously claim there's a lot of them is hilarious.

I claimed that there are a lot. I don't like them. Does every opinion out there need to be backed by stats? I also don't like the color brown. Do I need to have some facts about brown to establish an observation and opinion on that color?

Whether you like the movies or think they're any good is your opinion. And like I've said before, I don't care about your opinion of these movies. In fact, I tend to agree with your opinions as it relates to found footage films in general because I also find most of them to be of a poor quality.

But whether there's a lot of them being made isn't really an opinion. It's either true or not because it's something that can be proved or disproved with facts and statistics. Less than a percent simply isn't a lot, so your perception or assumption was wrong. And it's okay to think something and be proven wrong. But what you don't get to do is hide behind saying, "It's my opinion," for facts, data, and statistics. That's not how it works.

That you're trying to twist this into me attacking your opinion on the quality of films is utterly disingenuous, and you know it.

EDIT: Apparently OP can't take it when someone calls them out because they've since blocked me, lol.
