Because of this, movie dialogue sounds different from real life dialogue. Screenwriters usually want to cut away dialogue that’s viewed as unnecessary, as that bores the audience. The hyper-realistic dialogue plays a major part in that. In the back of your mind you know you’re watching a film, but the directors are careful so as not to take you out of your suspension of disbelief. The director did an excellent job of making you feel like you’re really watching found footage. The hyper-realistic dialogue is actually one of this movie’s best qualities. If you don’t like the shaky camera, the hyper realistic dialogue, and the bad quality, this won’t be for you. Most of this movie’s cons are cons that you’ll see in any found footage film. Usually I wait until later in the piece to present the cons, but they feel more necessary here. The fact that they were able to create a classic from that makes it worth watching, just to see how they made it work. Compared to the tens of millions of dollars usually spent on a movie, this only took sixty thousand and was adapted from a thirty page script. Whether you like this film or not, you have to appreciate the creativity. Is this original still as good as its successors? Let’s find out. After all, “Roundhay Garden Scene” is the first ever movie, but that doesn’t make it my favorite. Although other found footage films have existed throughout history, this one is seen as the original, which is not necessarily a good thing. Now seen as a horror classic, this film revitalized the “found footage” style of horror movie that became popular in the early 2000s.
