The notion of a film using a vérité style and false claims of “it really happened” is nothing new to the horror genre. In 1974, Tobe Hooper’s masterpiece THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, made use of a now famous John Larroquette narration, a group of amateur actors and a gritty shooting style to make mid-70s drive-in movie-goers question the reality of what they had just seen. 1980 brought horror fans the still controversial CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, a film that not only invented the now popular “found footage” horror film, but still even today manages to make some of its viewers question if what they are watching is in actuality, “snuff”.
