Found footage not being found The saving grace

Found footage not being found The saving grace of many found footage movies is the conceits by which the filmmakers keep filming, even when chased by the monster. This movie does away with that and switches through a sort of flashback to present found footage-style to a standard shaky third-person view when the action gets going. This does not, in fact, make the movie more enjoyable, but gives it a disjointed presentation, and while parts are well made and they certainly put money and effort into the production, it is still sub-par for the genre, and not warmly recommended.

I watched Malibu Horror Story (2023) in theaters last night. The storyline follows a group of Malibu high school friends who go missing in some historically mysterious hills in California. A tape from the hikers surfaces that a group that researches paranormal activity get their hands on. They set out for the hill to uncover what may have led to the teen's disappearance.This movie is written and directed by Scott Slone (2001: An EDM Odyssey) and stars Dylan Sprayberry (Teen Wolf), Robert Bailey Jr (The Happening), Valentina de Angelis (As the World Turns) and Rebecca Forsythe (Replace).This film had all the ingredients for a worthwhile found footage movie. The storyline was unique and unlike anything I'd seen before in the genre. The execution reminded me of a mix of The Blair Witch Project and The Descent. Most of the found footage shots were well done, creepy, and the creature was excellent, until they used CGI to show its transformation that included random CGI flames (which seemed unnecessary). The acting and depiction of the news, police, and other interviews were mediocre to bad. I didn't particularly like any of the docuseries elements. The kills in the movie are actually pretty good, but the ending falls short.In conclusion, Malibu Horror Story contains some worthwhile elements that make it worth a watch for horror enthusiasts, but not enough to make it a good movie. I would rate this a 4/10 and recommend it only to die-hard fans of the horror genre.

Not particularly great...

Given my love of all things horror, then of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch "Malibu Horror Story" here in 2025, as I was given the chance to do so. Sure, I had never even heard about this movie from writer and director Scott Slone, but with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, it hardly mattered that I hadn't heard about it.Now, had I known beforehand that this was a dubious partly found-footage, or more correctly found-garbage, style of movie, I wouldn't have given it the time of day, as I absolutely loathe the found-garbage subgenre of horror movies. The parts that were filmed as a proper movie were adequate, but I didn't care much for the hand-held recorded parts.Writer Scott Slone put together a pretty straightforward script and storyline, but at the same time also a rather generic one.I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. The acting performances in the movie were fair.One thing that worked in favor of "Malibu Horror Story" and set it apart from many other laughable movies in the found-garbage subgenre, was the fact that the production value in this movie was actually good, and not something you could have filmed better yourself with your grandparent's VHS recorder.This was by no means a great movie, and definitely not a movie that I will ever pick up and watch a second time.My rating of writer and director Scott Slone's 2023 horror movie "Malibu Horror Story" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
