Just saw that When The Screaming Starts is now available on @Shudder_UK. If you haven’t already seen it (or even if you have), I highly recommend it. It’s the best comedy-slasher mockumentary since Behind the Mask.

When The Screaming Starts (‘21) is no Behind The Mask, but it turns out that it isn’t trying to be. The British serial killer mockumentary has a lot of fun getting where it wants to go, and a keen cast helps pull it all off.

Agreed. Frogman, Life of Belle, When the Screaming Starts,The Blackwell Ghost series, Savageland, Livescream, Deadstream, The Outwaters, Horror in the High Desert, and Chad Gets the Axe are all Indie Found Footage films in the past few years that put a fresh spin on the genre.
It felt like Hollywood ran found footage into the ground a while back but it's been reclaimed by the indies with some really good stuff in recent years. Definetly recommend Frogman if you're into the subgenre in its purest form. Fun group of characters, wild final act. On VOD!

Mockumentary is one of my favorite styles of the genre too. I highly recommend The Medium, When the Screaming Starts, and Delivery: The Beast Within if you haven’t seen them yet.
