Anyway, The Visit, like The Gallows, is a found footage film. I know it's been going on for years now, but I've truly just noticed how much the found footage genre has taken over. The Gallows marks the third found footage film I have seen this year, behind Unfriended and Project Almanac.
Found footage used to be a rare and big thing for a movie. I remember as far back as 2008 when Cloverfield came out it was still a tremendous deal. I remember everyone talking about Cloverfield's filming style.
But now it's the exact opposite. Many films now do it every year,and nobody's talking about it like they used to.
