Butterfly Kisses is a surprisingly good found footage film made on a shoe-string budget. It's about a failing filmmaker who discovers a box of disturbing tapes in his mothers basement containing a documentary created by two film students trying to capture footage of on a local urban legend named"Peeping Tom".
The concept behind Peeping Tom is really creepy and unsettling.
The legend goes that if you stand on this particular bridge and stare into the mouth of a tunnel at midnight for over an hour the apparition will appear and continue to grow closer every time you blink.
For its obvious budgetary restraints it is a well made movie and one of the better found footage films out there, it's very reminiscent of The Blair Witch project and like that this film does quite a lot with very little.
The story of the urban legend alone was enough to get my attention and the acting from the whole cast was very natural.
With found footage I always go in not expecting a lot because generally these types of films are a filmmakers first effort at a feature length project, so when a film within this genre works for me it stands out. It has some really cool ideas and a genuinely eerie atmosphere and I can easily recommend it to anyone who likes this particular sub-genre of horror.
