“Found Footage 3D is on a whole different level. This film has more layers than the end section of Inception.”
“The scares are chilling and, in at least one instance, shocking.”
“The 3D works well and has a purpose”
“In an over saturated genre, Found Footage 3D holds it’s own – Scream meets The Blair Witch Project.”
“Fans and haters of the found footage film will all find something to enjoy.”

“This is the best found footage movie ever made. It is the best 3D movie I’ve ever seen. It is not only one of the best horror-comedies I’ve ever seen, it’s one of the best films I’ve ever seen of any kind. DeGennaro’s script is brilliant. The actors are excellent. The camerawork and 3D effects are mesmerizing. This movie MUST be released in 3,000+ theaters across the country or every single Hollywood studio might as well be swallowed up by gigantic sink holes because if they can’t present something this great to the widest possible audience, there’s no longer any reason for them to exist.”

“It’s a movie that really respects its audience’s intelligence, both by winking at them and by delivering real scares.”
“yeah, you do need to see it in 3-D”
“clever, highly satisfying”
“has some real gnarly practical effects”
“my favorite kind of horror-comedy, which is the kind that’s funny right up until it’s not funny at all.”

“makes horror history”
“The 3D in the film was some of the best 3D that I’ve ever seen.”

“FOUND FOOTAGE 3D’s ace up its sleeve is the deftly written dialogue and inspired humor”
“well devised shit-your-pants scares”
“The chemistry between the entire disparate band of cast and crew members works astoundingly well”
“Scott Allen Perry’s sound guy, Carl, …is a joy to watch throughout but literally knocks it out of the park when he’s just sat riffing alone to the camera.”
“the effects should ideally be seen in 3D to be truly appreciated as the 2D version doesn’t do the film anywhere near as much justice”
“by far one of the better horror/comedies I’ve seen of late”

“both a critique of found footage and one of the best found footage movies ever made”
“the rare sendup that works as both a goof on the thing and as a great example of the thing itself”
“Even more than any of the repertory screenings, Found Footage played best to the packed-house crowd of any movie during [Bruce Campbell’s Horror Film Festival].”
“the film has an amazing ability to shift tones and sympathies multiple times in the course of a single scene”

“The film is a completely super-meta comedy film that slowly turns into a horror film in the best way possible.”
“The 3D works… it actually feels like you’re there”
“the big reason the film works is because of the cast”
“Found Footage 3D is the Scream for found footage movies”
“The cast is great, it’s funny, scary and is an all around smart and good found footage movie”
“4.5/5”

“It’s one of the best 3D and one of the best found footage movies I’ve ever seen.”
“delivers one of the best 3D experiences I’ve had in a theater since the format had its resurgence in 2009… [T]he 3D is used in new ways to brilliant effect. It’s one of the few theatrical experiences I’ve had in a long time that I won’t just suggest be seen theatrically in 3D, but demand it.”
“a brilliant sendup of the subgenre, a loving tribute to found footage, and one of the best surprises in horror this year.”
“find[s] the humanity within the comedy within the horror”
“We care enough about these people that just watching a movie about them hanging out in a cabin and trying to make a movie would be completely satisfying even without any of the horror stuff. DeGennaro understands this, cleverly using our own investment against us at all the right moments; he draws us into a character beat, prepares us for a payoff and—WHAM—that’s when the movie hits us with a scare. The construction is so goddamn clever.”
“4/5”

“one of the most entertaining horror films this year”
“brilliantly self-referential”
“the near-perfect horror experience”
“the 3D is exceptional. (It’s so good that it confuses and angers me at the amount of trash the big studios put out.) In fact, outside of Avatar and Final Destination 5, I think you’ll find it hard to show me a more impressive use of 3D in a live-action feature film as of late.”
“truly… a modern indie gem that really, really deserves a place among the greats.”
