This is the pinnacle of pseudo-documentary.

I hate pseudo-documentary horror films more and more. [Let's not talk about the story itself] How energetic are you shaking? I have never seen a real document shake like this. Are the cameras on Diaosi's right hand?

[Emily late in the night asks for James to help her see the ghost in her apartment]
James: Emily?
Emily: Yeah?
James: Are you there?
Emily: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
James: I gotta - I gotta do some work, so what's going on?
Emily: I know, this'll only take a minute.
James: What's up?
Emily: He's outside my room. I think, I can hear the little boy's footsteps.
James: That's really scary, Emily, what are you talking about?
Emily: Well, I just - I need to talk to him, and I need your help.
James: Um - I mean, I'll help in any way that I can
Emily: Okay. Great, great. So, I'm gonna close my eyes so he doesn't scare me.
James: What?
Emily: I'm gonna close my eyes so I don't freak out... and run back in here, okay? So you're just gonna tell me if he's there and if he's paying attention to me, and then I'll talk to him. I'll find out what he wants - If he wants me to find his body, or... whatever. I just. Uh... I don't want to look at him. He's a ghost. He freaks me out.
James: What? Um... Okay. All right.
Emily: Okay, can you do that?
James: Okay.
Emily: Okay, okay. So, as soon as - as soon as I open the bedroom door I'm gonna close my eyes, and then you'll me what's there, okay?
James: All right.
Emily: Okay, are you ready?
James: Yeah, yeah.
Emily: All right, I'm closing my eyes.

[James tries to comfort Emily who doesn't know what to feel anymore]
James: Listen, you're gonna be okay.
Emily: You don't know.
James: I do, you're gonna be fine.
Emily: [in tears] You deserve to be with someone normal - You know, someone who doesn't have so many problems. What if we want to have kids someday?
James: You know, um... You're the only person I've ever wanted to be with, Emily, so just... Stop acting like I have a choice in the matter, all right?
Emily: I don't know what I did to deserve someone... you're so good to me.
James: Get some rest.
Emily: I love you.
[pause]
Emily: Talk to you later.
James: All right.
[Emily blows James a sad kiss, recording ends]

"Deadly Videotape (V/H/S)" Sundance Film Festival Review

Still worth encouraging

Handheld DV shooting, horror skewer movies. The camera shake is very hypnotic, but the sense of reality is not bad, and it's okay to be surprised, but the picture quality is worse and the effect is discounted.

One of the best pseudo-documentaries in recent years
