Australia hasn’t exactly been the most prolific of countries when it comes to horror movies. The biggest success story arguably being James Wan, who found himself instantly making way across to 'them there Americas' in order to expand on his short film idea for Saw before churning out film after film of watered-down Hollywood bullshit.

The Innkeepers

 

To even the most rational and sceptical of people there is something irresistible about a good ghost story. We've all heard it a thousand times before, family move in to house, unexplainable events start happening, things start to turn nasty, outside help is bought in to fight the ghost and final battle ahoy! Poltergeist, The Amityville Horror, The Shining, Paranormal Activity, The Conjuring... The list goes on. 

The Collingswood Story

 

Despite the success of The Blair Witch Project in 1999 it wasn’t until around 2007 when the likes of REC, Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield came along that any film makers were able to really cash in on the found footage format. The main contributing factor being that, by this time high quality equipment was now so cheap and widespread that the concept of documenting every split second of your life was a feat achievable by a majority of society.
