Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

RoyBatty88 This film holds no punches and also, gives no mercy. "Found" is an underground gem that is hard to find, only "found" when someone seeks it out. I was introduced to this film by a friend of mine, I was told of the story which I thought sounded interesting, he put it on and I must say I was sucked in immediately. This movie is what would happen if, "Super 8", "Stand By Me", "A Serbian Film" and "Frontieres" all had a baby. Sound weird? Well, that's the best way I can describe it.The movie has a coming of age story about a boy named Marty who is obsessed with comics and horror film. Marty is a misfit, bullied in school, he is the weird kid who likes creepy things, he is picked on by students and raises concerns of teachers. Marty learns that his brother, Steve, is a serial killer, making his life a horror film. The movie is very dark, it gets darker as it gets to the end, it starts off as a coming of age story but then turns into a disgusting gore fest at the end. It's magnificent.I want to point out how much I admire the effort of it's director, Scott Schirmer, who made this movie for only $8,000. It certainly is a noticeably shoe string budget movie, however, the story is so amazing and the acting is so good, it's easy to look past it. In all honesty, the movie looked great, the only "Noticeable" thing about how low the budget is was how sometimes the audio levels seemed uneven. However, it was forgivable. I was impressed at the amazing performances that Scott Schirmer got out of his actors and also the shots were great, locations and tones gave it the unsettling dark feeling. The music score especially is amazing, it's eerie and gives off the tone of the movie. There really isn't anything bad I can say about "Found" as an aspiring filmmaker, I was floored, obsessed with this movie since I saw it. It proved you do not need a multi-million dollar budget to make an awesome movie. Scott Schirmer made a great piece for only $8k, imagine what he can do for $1 Million. I give this movie an A+

modengo This is one of those well done, well rounded movies that focused on every aspect of the story. Only thing lacking in the whole movie might be the budget, not sure was the camera aimed to look 80's-90's-ish, but in a movie it doesn't even matter. Setback were indoors and outdoors scenes with bad sound quality, bad camera, looking like TV movies, but scenes were without any reproach. Maybe it could have been fixed in editing, since some scenes jump out from the movie with lack of quality, but than again, it might be the budget (although think it was sufficient). Anyhow, it's refreshing to see a story with unique standpoint, without a doubt has this been a big production it would be a blockbuster. Narative, scenes, everything is flowing in same direction, with few unavoidable clichés. Well rounded movie, deserves a solid score and definitely a recommendation.

Michael Chandler Based on the novel by Todd Rigney, "FOUND" is a refreshing addition to the horror genre. A familiar yet grim coming of age drama wrapped in a very dark and horrific nightmarish shell. The story is told through the eye's of Marty, a typical twelve year old boy who like most of you reading this can probably relate to, tends to escape the turmoil of his daily life by taking refuge in horror films. From early on in the film we learn that Marty (Gavin Brown) is from an average American family with the usual facade of "normalcy" hiding a plethora of underlying social problems. His fathers overt racism and inability to relate to or get along with his older son. His mothers inability to mediate or intervene in the situation, and his brothers (Ethan Philbeck) worsening antisocial behavior. Marty has discovered personal secrets of his family members. His dad's porn stash, mother's love letters to an old boyfriend and the biggest one yet, a bowling bag containing a severed head in his brothers closet. Marty discovers the brother that he loves and looks up to is a serial killer. "My brother keeps a human head in his closet. Every few days it's a new head", "My life is starting to turn into a horror movie." Let me just say that I found this film intriguing and truly disturbing. Director Scott Schirmer has done a truly amazing job on a shoestring budget of a reported $8000.00 dollars, managing to tell a great story and do what most big budget horror films seem to fail at, making you care about the characters. The only drawback of the film for me was the talent level of some of the supporting cast. While Gavin Brown and Ethan Filbeck gave outstanding performances for their first outing, the mother (Phyllis Munro) and several of the supporting members, most notably the father (Louie Lawless) seemed to lack the ability to convincingly pull off any dramatic moments. But this is a relatively minor complaint and hardly a drawback in the ability to enjoy this film. Other indi film makers and directors should pay attention and take notes. This is how it's done, with an engaging story and a lot of heart. With all that said, I highly recommend this film. In the end I was left almost speechless. This film manages to tell a sympathetic yet engaging horrific story. It is severely brutal and gory at times and not for the faint of heart. Four out of five stars!

tbickle84 This movie is proof that a good story will overshadow any budgetary limitations. I'd heard of this film for quite some time because of all the rave reviews. I don't usually watch new horror movies because I think they're generally unwatchable but I decided to give Found. a look because I was so curious to see what the production did with only $8,000. Well, I was engaged from the opening scene when a young boy named Marty tells us through voice over that he sneaks into his older brother Steve's room when he's not home just so he can take a look at the severed heads he keeps in his closest. Needless to say, Steve is a serial killer and Marty's the only person who knows his older brother's secret.The film gave me chills in a way very few films do. There's something very real and disturbing about the subject matter that does not let up until the end credits roll much like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.It is important to point out that aside from the story, every other aspect of the film is incredibly amateur. The footage looks like it was shot on a digital camera from the early 2000s, the sound is very poor and the acting from most of the cast is very amateur. Does it matter? Surprisingly not at all. I basically ignored all of this because the story was so captivating and relevant to today's society that I just wanted to see how much worse this young boy's nightmare could get...and it gets indescribably horrifying.Kudos to the team for basically picking up a camera and using whatever resources they had to tell such a twisted story. If you're mature enough to get past the budgetary limitations and appreciate the film for what it is, you will not be disappointed. This is coming from a die hard horror fan. Best horror film I've seen in many years.
