As long as the last POV segment was that segment had me on edge thinking this poor volunteer was going to eat it horribly.

Horror in the High Desert 1 and 2, and Savageland (all on Tubi) have the same style of "fake true crime documentary with found-footage focused on tension and unsettling imagery" that I think is probably going to get popular in the mainstream soon.
Horror in the High Desert 1 takes a while to get going, but the ending is really great and the reveal of what is lurking by the cabin is pretty much done perfectly.
Horror in the High Desert 2 has a bunch of creepy stuff but kind of suffers from middle-child syndrome where you can tell everything is being set up for a third movie.
Savageland is a bit older and has a pretty cool twist where the "found footage" is B&W photos, but the ending is pretty weak and doesn't really make a ton of sense.
All three though are definitely entertaining though.

I was worried Horror in the High Desert 2 was going to just ruin everything and give full explanations onto what's going on...but I don't think they literally answered a single lingering question from the first movie. Those paintings made me think there's something paranormal going on, like the deformed wilderness folk are in a cult, and whatever they're worshiping will end up being entirely real.

Yeah like she is the most obnoxious character across the previous two movies. The only funny thing about her is that she's proven wrong about shit all the time, but at the same time she's never called out for it beyond her friends finding her a bit annoying. Seriously, Randy was also a know-it-all but also treated like a geeky idiot which balanced him out to make him likeable. This girl is just obnoxious and definitely the weakest of the four new characters aside from the main girl (Find it funny how both their siblings are more engaging than them, character-wise).
I'd recommend Rec and Train to Busan as personal top picks from me, especially since both are probably some of the best zombie movies ever made.

Lake Mungo can also be added to that list. Since that one came out in 2008, it's an overlooked mockumentary-style horror film that uses found footage. What made it very unsettling is there isn't really a resolution to the teenage daughter's death and her secret life. And as prior footage rolls during the credits revealing her actual ghost among the hoax images, it was disheartening to know there never was a follow-up so you're left wondering what really happened.
I also was revealed this one did not go into further detail of what's in the desert. While it revealed there seemed to be a serial killer in the 90s, I am guessing the third movie may provide an explanation if it's the last installment.

I'd second that pretty much word for word. It's not pozzed, it's not boring, and it's not a rehash. It's not often I say this about a new horror movie in 2023 A.D., especially a sequel, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it: it's not a total waste of time that deserves to be erased from existence. They did a good job.

Thanks! Just watched it and it was great!
This screenshot made me watch both movies this morning. The first one got me at the end, was a really nice movie. Glad you posted this.
Totally! I already watched both movies, but it's been a while so I decided to rewatch Rec. For some reason, I really like the shakey cam in it. Couldn't find the movie in subs so I had to deal with the english dub. VA of the main girl was annoying and I almost turned the movie off cause of her.

I watched John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns from the Masters of Horror series (available on Tubi) and I have to say the wikipedia entry made it sound a lot more menacing.
It's basically a tv version of Nic Cage's 8mm, about a theater owner who's hired to track down a lost film that makes people go crazy and murder everything. It looks like a standard tv show despite a few boobs and bits of extreme violence, and there's a character reveal that comes off really goofy. The most unforgivable sin is Carpenter and Moriarity from Ain't It Cool completely undermining the creepy story with a masturbatory POWER OF FILMMAKING message that will make your eyes roll so hard you could possibly go blind.
Carpenter ruined F.E.A.R. 3 and I'm glad he's retired.

You should watch the follow-ups, Suicide Forest Village and Ox-Head Village. I think all three are good and bad in different ways but all kind of interesting. I'm not sure Ox-Head Village is official in English, I had to download it somewhere with some pretty lousy subtitles (which did the job but aren't great.)
Since you like Japan horror there's always the Ringu trilogy if you haven't seen it. I think a lot of people have watched the first one to compare to the American version, but part 2 and the prequel are quite different to anything done in English. (There's also the alternate timeline sequel Spiral which is weird but boring, and not horrific or fantastic like Ringu.) The American 'The Ring 2' is godawful so don't watch it even though it was directed by Hideo Nakata. Do watch Nakata's Dark Water. Do not watch the American version with Jennifer Connelly.
I have a post somewhere upthread talking about Koji Shiraishi. I definitely recommend Noroi, A Record of Sweet Murder, and Occult.
Carptenter is still in the industry

Doing busy work like composing little ditties for those terrible Halloween remakes. He hasn't directed in thirteen years.
Part of me still think Carpenter needs to get back into directing, but it also makes me feel sad that because of his aging, he's not gonna do it. I'm glad he's not gonna direct anymore.

I'm fine with it. I think he deserves his retirement after all the classics he has made in the past.

Nice! I'll look them up when I get home. Had no idea that Howling Village had follow-ups. Noroi and Dark Water are really nice. I watched them in the past, but its been a while so I think it's time for a rewatch.
And it's for the best anyway. Plus, Carpenter was never Scorsese, and it's not a bad thing either. He already has Halloween, Escape from, The Thing, Starman and They Live among other things he's made that are already having strong followings to this day and ranking money from subsequent home video and streaming releases and television airings.

I just realized Giovanni Lombardo Radice AKA John Morghan has passed away. Very nice man in my limited interactions with him despite the fact that he despised just about every movie he was in.

If that makes you think you're slow, I only just found out Robert Blake died 3 days ago.

Recently for bad movie night my friends and I watched Ax Em
I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard at anything. We had to pause it when the opening credit dance/stomp sequence started because we couldn't breathe from laughing so much.
Fun fact: the director of this film got out of a rape charge because his father was the president of the NAACP at the time
