I enjoyed them. I have to finish the last movie tonight.
My favorite part is DEFINITELY the ending to the 2nd movie.
But what I love about these films is they really show you how the cast/central characters effect the overall tone and level of investment the audience will have. I mean it's basically just Paranormal Activity, but if you replace a young couple with this mostly boring middle aged dude, suddenly it is not scary AT ALL and is way more of a comedy about evil spirits or demons toying with this rando loser just for amusement.
There's a part in the first movie where main dude goes outside to check something, and the front door closes suddenly and locks on him. Instead of being freaked out or alarmed, dude just shouts out "OH, FUCK MY LIFE!" Cut scene.
I've gotten bored with found footage films, but these were ridiculously enjoyable. Thanks for the recommendation.
