(little movie secrets) 1974: La posesion de Altair(2016) is a must for found footage fans!

This Mexican found footage horror is done in an old school retro style with grainy camera, retro sound settings and great atmosphere. It all starts with mockumentary black and white collage of people talking about Manuel and Altair, young couple who disappeared and how they saw them scared to death of something running through the woods and their house burned. Well, then the movie takes us back to newly wed couple who move into a lovely house near woods but at night strange things start to happen. First their dog disappears, then returns grown up from being a puppy in a day, Altair starts to act strangely and Manuel seeks help of her sister and their mutual friend. Well, all the settings for good found footage are here. Running, night scare jumps, some expected scenes and this would not take this movie away from being a decent but not great found footage horror. But, the story led me to totally another way thinking how it would end, but the ending surprised me, being one of the already used endings in some movies, but still done greatly. That makes this one a great found footage. Directed and written by Victor Dryere.
