Found footage horror flick from 2019 called The Haunting of Grady Farm, it was decent.

Also the 2019 slasher Aquaslash, set at a waterpark, people shoot down the water-slides... in pieces.

I don't care for found footage & shaky cam films.
I've even encountered so-called films shot entirely by cell phone.

I like well-constructed films using normal filming techniques created by conventional methods.

Love the look and feel of Cecil B Demille best. Those films were professional.
Found footage strikes me as low budget fast films to cash in with little overhead. People often tell me found footage films are artistic. I disagree.
Films shouldn't distract from the story to point out the filming style.
The films I like are the ones which cause me to suspend my disbelief and forget I'm watching a film.
If I'm constantly reminded I'm watching a film, its not art to me, its poor filming technique.

That being said,
I do like a few (very few) found footage films.

Area 407 (2012) comes to mind.
So does Cloverfield (2008) and The Dinosaur Project (2012)
I have a few others I can tolerate but most are just awful for me.

Right now I'm well into Criminal Minds season one.
I've been keeping a notepad of all the opening and closing quotes which have meaning to me.

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary.
Men alone are quite capeable of every wickedness.

~ Joseph Conrad

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
~ Harriet Beatrice Stowe

What we do for ourselves, dies with us.
What we do for others and the world, remains and is, immortal.

~ Albert Pine

Reprisal
Frank Grillo, Bruce Willis.
If you are up for wasting you time, watch this! It has a 4,3 rating but that's VERY positive. 2,3 would've been more appropriate.
