  • 2008 · Science fiction

    A going-away party in Manhattan is cut short by something very large coming ashore, and the whole night is filmed on one guest's camcorder. Short, shaky and more or less in real time.

  • Creep

    Little-known

    2014 · Horror

    A videographer answers an online ad and drives out to a cabin to film a stranger for a day, for a fee. It is all handheld, just the two of them, and awkward from the first minute.

  • 2009 · Science fiction

    Twenty years after an alien ship stalls above Johannesburg, its passengers live in a fenced-off slum and a company man is sent in to hand out eviction notices. It starts as a fake documentary and turns into a chase with a lot of gunfire.

  • 2023 · Horror

    A struggling late-night host books a Halloween special in 1977 with a parapsychologist and the girl she says came out of a satanic cult. Presented as the tape of that broadcast, near enough in real time.

  • 2016 · Comedy

    A documentary crew follows a hugely famous pop star through the release of his second solo album, as everything around him starts to wobble. A fake documentary, jokes packed tight, and a lot of full songs.

    2007 · Horror

    A late-night TV reporter and her cameraman follow a fire crew into a Barcelona apartment block, and the building is sealed off with them inside. Shot entirely as camera footage, in one place, and it is short.
