The Lost Footage of Leah Sullivan

The movie was ok, but the reporter was so annoying. She laughs throughout the whole movie,even while taking the dead woman's dresses out of the closet. I wanted the reporter to meet her end.

THE LOST FOOTAGE OF LEAH SULLIVAN is about the title character's (Anna Stromberg) journalism class project / investigation into some murders that occurred thirty years earlier, in a small town in Massachusetts. At first, everything is upbeat, and by the book. Leah is joined by a good-natured cop (Burt Grinstead). Together, they uncover a lot more than they had anticipated.

As she digs deeper, Leah's video begins to take on a much more ominous quality.

As far as "found footage" horror films go, this is a pretty good one. The primary ruse works well, with Leah's "project" making it easier for the viewer to suspend disbelief, and accept her filming of everything. Of course, as in many of these FF movies, there comes a time when using a camera is absurd, like when in a life-or-death struggle. It happens here too.

Still, it's worth watching. The tension builds slowly, in a casual, natural way, right up until the bonkers finale. Is it scary? Somewhat, although it's extremely difficult to be original in this subgenre.

Ms. Stromberg co-wrote the screenplay, along with Mr. Grinstead, who also directed it...

This found footage film fell flat the jumpscares where very weak surprisingly cause FF films usually have great jumpscares. All in all I was excited to see this and as I watched it it started out good then went down hill w every scene after. Definitely not worth the 3$ I spent to watch it. I would say skip this one

If you are not a fan of found footage films, this movie will not be the one to convert you. Many segments are shot with the camera on a tripod as the main character interviews locals for her documentary. But eventually, there are some handheld sequences that are blurry, dark, and swing too wildly to see anything. I think a lot of viewers will also feel like they didn't get enough scares, and not enough payoff. I wouldn't call it a slow burn, but there is a lot of setup before you get any scenes where some action might take place. I liked the lead actress a lot; I really thought she was Jennifer Morrison at first. Her performance carries the film. The other main character, the cop, didn't feel as believable to me. Pretty much everyone else seem like they are doing some mediocre improv. There isn't too much filler, but there are some shots that go on way too long. However, I did feel some genuine tension. I wish the movie was a little more balanced somehow; the characters spend a lot of time talking in safe places. But when it got to a creepy part, it kept me anxious for such an extended period, I had to take a break. I'm glad I gave this one a try, because I don't find many movies that can get a reaction from me.

Really??? I love found footage and the acting and story here is pretty good but by the end of the movie I was cheering for Leah to die. She had absolutely no common sense and wouldn't listen to anything the cop had to say. Making her seem like a smart put together person with some common sense at the beginning of the movie, to a complete and total idiot at the end just makes this movie not worth it. This movie had me until the end and the last 15 minutes it almost all dark you can see anything.
