The found footage subgenre has been used (or rather overused) in horror flicks since the success of The Blair Witch Project and the Paranormal Activity franchise, but some of the best recent found footage movies are now on Netflix. Found footage movies most often fall under the horror or thriller umbrella because the "found footage" meant to simulate hand-held cameras used by amateurs or phone footage cobbled together allows filmmakers to slowly parse out clues for the audience in a unique way.
