Been in a found footage/handheld cam horror mood lately and watched what I think might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen called Dashcam.
It actually does a good (if not repetitive) job of jump scares but my god, the main character is such a piece of crap. The main character uses the same name as the actor and it’s set during covid and she’s anti-vax, anti-mask, etc. (apparently not too far off this persons personality), she steals her friends car, steals food, has zero redeemable qualities and to make it worse as she is being chased by this parasite/monster thing she starts uttering these random phrases like ‘cm on my tts, fk me in a’ etc. It is so so cringey.
Worst of all
spoiler
She’s the only survivor.
Two others I watched are Unfriended, and Deadstream which were both good and I recommend them.

Unfriended is good, and I agree: Dashcam sucks ass.
I really really enjoyed Spree (2020). About a kid-turned-serial-killer who wants to go viral, but it’s all through his phone recording on the dash the inside of the car. I found the acting to be good, and enjoyed the overall plot.
On the found footage genre, I liked The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014), and Lake Mungo (2008) was exceptional, definitely recommend them both.
Also recommend Creep (2014) and it’s sequel, and As Above, So Below (2014).
The VHS series is hit and miss.
I love horror and this subgenre, apologies for the ramble.
