Why this pick
Like Be My Cat, it weaponizes a lo-fi mockumentary format and an onscreen filmmaker persona, letting awkward humour curdle into deeply uncomfortable ambiguity.
Why this pick
A stripped-down two-person found-footage nightmare with escalating intimacy, unstable performance, and the same unnerving sense that the camera is enabling something dangerous.
Why this pick
Its domestic-video realism and gradual tonal deterioration create a similarly invasive, plausibly observed horror experience rather than a polished conventional thriller.
Why this pick
This faux-documentary uses raw-looking online and handheld footage to build dread through perceived authenticity and a deliberately confrontational emotional aftermath.
Why this pick
Its fake true-crime interviews and recovered recordings share Be My Cat's unsettling interest in performance, authorship, voyeurism, and a killer controlling the frame.
