Why these movies?
The story pattern: Stories in this thread typically follow characters documenting a supernatural event, only for the phenomenon to break the boundaries of the film itself. The narrative structure is often meta-commentary on observation and media, concluding with an ambiguous ending where the threat remains active and unresolved.
Why they belong together: These movies are grouped by their shared use of the found footage format to create a sense of raw immediacy and by their core theme of a haunting that is not neatly resolved, creating a pervasive and lingering fear that challenges the safety of the viewer.
