"Butterfly Kisses" adds its own unique (meta) spin on the found footage genre. Definitely if you just go by the call-in radio set-piece, and its special telephone guest. Clever touch. Sure it still follows the standard low-budget sub-genre cliches, but it's how the story is presented is where it sets itself apart. Heavy on mystery with its urban legend style groundwork. A wannabe film-maker stumbles across a box (labelled 'Don't watch') of a student's film project involving research into a local urban legend; Peeping Tom. So he goes about trying to investigate if the disturbing footage is real, while trying to complete their unfinished project as his own work. He gets a seperate documentary crew to follow him around to consolidate his findings and tell his story of getting this done. While watching I was getting 'Lake Mungo' vibes, as it focused more so on mood and discomfort than all out frights and incidents. It's slow burn, constantly conversational and sort of creeps up on you in a potboiler way. There's a documentary within a documentary within a documentary framework to the story as one film-maker's obsession becomes a domino effect for everyone involved. Meaning there's no real satisfying conclusion to it all. Probably by the end it was more interesting than entertaining.

A self-aware found-footage film. Now there's a concept I don't think I've seen before. At one point 'Butterfly Kisses' even has a character list all the flaws in the found-footage film concept. It also features the director of 'The Blair Witch Project' Eduardo Sánchez giving his opinion on whether a film was or was not real footage. And strangely enough, it all works and even manages to create a tense horror film in the process. The concept takes a little while to get used to, but once you start to realise what they're going for and how the format works you are able to settle in and just enjoy the ride. It is admittedly a little clunky in places, but it certainly gets better as the film goes along. Because of the way the story is told it feels like two films in one. You have a mystery and a horror being told concurrently. The horror story is almost certainly the strongest aspect of 'Butterfly Kisses' though. The film contains one of the best jump-scares I've ever seen in a film. It got me really good, and I'm not got easily. I missed this film back in 2018 when it was released but I'm glad I went back and found it because it was an enjoyable watch. I would recommend people give this one a look.

This movie shows how far you really could and should go with the found footage conceit. It raises so many good questions about (meta)narrative, storytelling, ethics, and motivation. Who creates a story and why? What should they be willing to do for it? How do you know if something is fiction, and who would you trust to tell you it's not? Hence the major House of Leaves vibes. I watched this movie months ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since, so I watched it again, and it holds up. From a horror perspective, I also like the combination of slow-building dread, paranoia, and yes, a few over-the-top jump scares. If somebody told me they found a movie that reminded them of this one, I'd watch it without question. Probably one of my all-time faves.

I'm a fan of the genre and this flick is well put together. The main character is totally believable, impregnated in his quest, dialogs and other characters are on point aswell. The plot & the atmosphere keeps you captive throughout untill the ending which is jumpscare (and i hate jumpscare). In other words i expected a much better ending with the blinkman and answers which we do not have: why the need to not blink to see him, is it some demon or something else etc. It could have drifted to horror genre in the end and doing so be much better imo.. 6 stars that's what it's worth really; rewatch value..maybe

Yet another "found footage" movie. I have watched dozens of movies in this genre, most of them pretty below average.This one was however pretty good, and a cut above the rest with an interesting concept. A film maker comes into possession of a box of videos left in his mother-in-laws new house. It belonged to two film students investigating the local legend of the supernatural being, Peeping Tom, or The Blink Man. He becomes obsessed with the footage and begins his own investigation and documentary. That's the basic beginnings of the movie, and it takes several twists and turns from there. I did enjoy this movie, and would have scored it higher, but I found the central character of film maker Gavin York so unlikable, it was hard to empathise with him. His reactions in certain situations seemed excessive, even for someone obsessed as he was. Could have been an 8/10, worth a look.

This was lame. How does this get rated higher than films like "SAVAGELAND"!?
