Who doesn’t love a good found footage film? Once Blair Witch Project hit theaters, a whole new genre of horror film was born. Since then, we’ve had tons of new films to pick from. These are our favorites, and probably the best ones out there.

When a haunted house went awry and killed multiple attendees and staff, one documentary group made it their goal to go and investigate.

They are finally able to see if the rumors of the home were true or not…
