We meticulously reviewed all of the found footage movies due out in 2017 and selected our top 5 most anticipated found footage films for 2017. With so many films to choose from, narrowing our list to five titles wasn’t easy.

The found footage movies mentioned in this article are in various stages of development. Wolf House (2016) is complete and was reviewed by Found Footage Critic over a year ago and Found Footage 3D (2015) is now on the festival circuit. Meanwhile, Black Wake (2016) and The Trick or Treaters (2015) are in production and/or post-production. Finally, there’s We Put the World to Sleep (2017), a film guarded in secrecy.

Executive producer Carlos Keyes had this to say about the film: “Black Wake is an intriguing story and when people see the film, I’m sure they are going to like it. We’ve produced an amazing film that’s only going to get better as we continue to refine it in post production.”

Black Wake is a Lovecraftian science-fiction horror zombie flick—what more could one ask from a found footage film? The movie is currently scheduled to be released during fall 2017.

We Put the World to Sleep – Romania

We Put the World to Sleep (2017) - Found Footage Horror Film Movie Poster (Found Footage Horror)

We Put The World to Sleep is slated to be the next creation from the mind of director Adrian Tofei—writer, director, and star of the critically acclaimed found footage horror film, Be My Cat: A Film for Anne (2016).

We can’t say much about We Put the World to Sleep other than that the film is shrouded in mystery. However, you can’t blame us for not trying! We’ve had several failed attempts to coax information about the film from director Adrian Tofei, who is holding steadfast and remaining silent.

What little we do know is that the feature is an apocalyptic science fiction found footage film. If the acting, production value, and story are half as intriguing as Be My Cat: A Film for Anne (2016)then this is a film you won’t want to miss!

We Put the World to Sleep is written and directed by Adrian Tofei and will star Adrian Țofei, Duru Yücel, Erisse Peterson, and Jay Sorensen.

Wolf House – United States

Wolf House (2016) - Found Footage Films Movie Poster (Found Footage Horror)Wolf House is a found footage horror film and comedy written and directed by Ken Cosentino. We had the rare privilege of reviewing a screener of Wolf House during fall 2015 and couldn’t have been more pleased.

This film is one of those rare gems that hits all the right notes. Quoting our own review, “With a budget of only $5,000 and a runtime of 70 minutes, WOLF HOUSE pulls off a near flawless found footage style execution, doesn’t take itself too seriously, has tons of fun, and most importantly, has lots and lots of monsters!”

Ever since we’ve seen the early screener of Wolf House, we’ve been ranting and raving about the film non-stop. This is a film that deserves to be shared with the rest of the world!

Get ready for the next full moon and hitch a ride into the deep woods so you can spend a night at Wolf House in 2017!
