Another installment of our popular series “AITH Knocks Out Horror Cliches” is ready for your viewing pleasure! Today’s topic: Found footage movies. Yup, love it or hate it, you seemingly can’t go a month without another shaky cam horror movie being released, and we’re here to knock ’em all down a peg!

What we’re particularly going after is the fact that somebody always seems to be filming everything in these movies, even while their world is crumbling down around them. Of course, you have to suspend disbelief a little bit, but c’mon man, nobody in their right mind would keep shooting in some of these situations. Drop the camera and run, bozo!
