21. Chronicle

"Don't look or you'll see the endin- Oh."
Well Chronicle is kind of fun, albeit paper thin fun, but the whole found footage thing is kinda odd.

It all feels a bit, I don't know, naff? Main conceit of the film is that found footage thing is pretty much left for dead as soon as the protagonists discover their powers (via them 'telekinetically controlling the cameras').

All in all it's a reasonable way of spending 90 minutes but there are SO MANY better ways to spend 90 minutes.

9. Troll Hunter

"Light that mother fucker up!"
Troll Hunter is a top quality caper.

I found it quite sad at the end – not for the student camera team (they could have all been eaten thrice times over for me) but for the Troll Hunter himself who for years has been an outcast, for doing nothing more than his governments bidding.

The found footage aspect was a bit crappy but didn't detract too much from the Fee-fi-fo-FUN.
