Another convincing recovered-footage horror built around reporters following an escalating public-safety mystery, with a similarly grim procedural texture.

A skeptical investigation filmed as evidence gradually becomes claustrophobic and terrifying, preserving The Bay's grounded, bureaucratic found-footage tension.
04
The Taking of Deborah Logan
Why this pick
Its documentary crew perspective and slow shift from medical observation to visceral horror echo The Bay's clinical realism and escalating unease.
05
The Last Exorcism
Why this pick
