Found footage is a genre filled with ups

Found footage is a genre filled with ups and downs. I would argue that recently most films in this horror subgenre have been the latter. "Unlisted Owner," the premier feature film by director Jed Brian has made attempts to change that trend with a fair share of success. "Unlisted Owner" is the story of a group of young people who forgo their night of drinking and girl chasing to investigate a nearby home where a grisly killer eliminated an entire family inside. The movie itself starts out strong introducing said family to an exciting day in a new home, only to be marred by tragedy. It was a great way to start because where many found footage films fall flat is with a stale or drawn out eventless opening. The move in day itself also provides a legitimate reason for the recordings to have occurred to begin with. From here the story is picked up by the character Jed (played by the director himself). Jed has recently gotten a new camera and is focusing on learning how to use it by recording the events of his night out with friends unfold. Although this may seem like somewhat of a cliché reason to film, there are unique elements to the POV changes which stand out. The movie is displayed as evidence of what happens to this group of friends with placards to demonstrate which recovered footage belonged to who, and ownership of the local police department. A cool touch that I cannot say I have seen in other films of the genre which usually rely on the actors to provide some sort of immediate tell for POV changes. As far as acting is concerned much of the cast were friends prior to shooting. The chemistry is apparent and makes up for the occasional lapses in ability, which are few and far between. An impressive run for a debut film in my eyes. The group includes the more reserved Jed and his girlfriend, her friend, and a handful of more outgoing partiers. The dialogue between friends badgering each other is fun and ultimately drives the narrative to push the characters into investigating the mysterious home. Cinematically speaking, "Unlisted Owner" is done very well. Even in the tenser moments of the film the crew took great steps to reduce the unfortunate dizzying camera shakes which are a staple of the genre. Part of this I'm sure due to the director being in control of most of the shots along with careful planning. The movie is also edited particularly well eliminating harsh transitions for a smoother watching experience. Even the inside of the home was custom made to accommodate for the faster paced moments to reduce harsh motions. There are also a handful of cool camera effects added in to represent the glitchy footage due to camera damage during the encounters in the home. The director even got the use of actual emergency vehicles for the film too which makes for a cool touch of authenticity. The final moments of the film are tense and lead to a satisfying and fun conclusion. I do believe that the movie starts and finishes stronger at times than the middle portion which may have stumbled a bit with pacing, but overall there was purpose for every shot. I am a huge fan of found footage, but I wouldn't consider it my genre of choice. I may not be as picky, but I know others who may have some issues with the presentation of the film. These include things like seeing the on-screen display that would be seen during filming but not during playback. Most people wouldn't give this a second thought. I even enjoyed it. I'd like to discuss the plot further, but I'd fear spoiling the fun for anyone interested in seeing it. As far as horror goes this is a great watch with a few flaws, but ultimately an incredibly promising debut feature from a new director. With the endless rehashes and sequels we are faced with today I'd say this is one of the better attempts at found footage since V/H/S.

First off I wanna say, I've never heard

First off I wanna say, I've never heard of this film until the Writer, Director and Actor emailed me to do a interview for this film. Knowing what I knew from the more of info email, I agreed to setup with interview. So a couple days BEFORE we were gonna do the interview over the phone for the Everything Horror Podcast (which if you don't like no filter language avoid my podcast). From the time I spent debating to rent this (before purchasing this), I decided to go for it hoping I'd like it and not a waste. I enjoyed the camerawork actually and the way they acted / setup sets to do some of the stuff was not really noticeable. The only thing we noticed was near the end was the blood, it did stick out to be more pinkish to really not believe it. I did however got an answer via the Interview that the special effects guy they had at the time wasn't available when it came down to the blood. If you don't swear teenagers swearing like they would when being around friends and stuff, watch this film. If you can't stand swearing almost every line, just ignore it. And if you would like to check out the interview I did with Unlisted Owners writer, director and actor make sure to check out the Podcast.

Well... It had potential

The film begins interestingly enough with a new Family moving into a House. Unfortunately this lasts all of 5 minutes. We flash to the bulk of the film focusing on some loud mouthed annoying Teens. As per usual they spend about 30 odd plus minutes yelling and arguing. This did not make them endearing.

Eventually the family's bodies are retrieved by the local Police etc. We are basically told they were all murdered by a random psycho. The kiddos regale a tale about a local weirdo who burned a group of people in the same House. Is he back from the dead etc.? Not sure. The movie never really does anything with the scenario. I guess he didn't die... Despite the kiddos allegedly finding his Grave.

This leads us to the little scamps investigating the house... You can tell where this is going. To add insult we don't even get onscreen deaths for everyone involved. It just kinda ends with a new Couple moving in and a lame jumpscare. Which made me wonder who the hell would buy a House where two separate murders happened?! Did the Realtor not disclose that detail? Must've had a great Crime scene clean up crew too. As the House is pristine when our new fodder for victims moves in.

I understand the movie is a microbudget. I don't hate on Indie films if it's entertaining enough or has a good script. The opening scene could've been it's own film itself. Showing the family slowly being stalked by a Maniac could've been interesting. Instead it abruptly cuts to an annoying group of foul mouthed screechy kids slogging through trite dialogue to get to a disappointing conclusion... The camera work for the most part is actually pretty decent. It's a shame the script couldn't have been worked on a bit more.
