The concept of this style of storytelling is simple: a film presented as real recorded footage, documented by a camera and various characters involved. With shaky camerawork and natural acting, this type of genre is often represented in a pseudo-documentary technique. Perhaps the most famous and well-known found footage film in recent years was the cultural phenomenon The Blair Witch Project, a 1999 sleeper hit that helped revive the genre....

It seems that, along with many fans, former franchise star Laurence Fishburne wasn’t hugely impressed by the new addition to the franchise either....
