There’s found footage and then there’s good found footage. And then there’s the iphone…

Sick of lame-ass ‘found footage’ movies? We are. But, like Joe Hill’s Twittering from the Circus of the Dead, this upcoming movie – Hoooked Up – may be something just a li’l bit different…and better.

The main issue in most fofoo’s (that’s our new word for them: “fofoo”) is why doesn’t that idiot drop the damn camera and just RUN? With a few possible exceptions – Quarantine and its foreign progenitor [Rec] being prime examples – there really isn’t any good reason for amateur filming to happen past a certain point, and though we admire the cleverness of “assembled” found footage films like the neoclassic Chronicle, it usually just doesn’t work.

But how about this? A couple of crazy-for-sex American teens (okay, that’s redundant) take a trip to Barcelona with the sole intention of getting laid repeatedly . So of course they want to record their conquests on their iphone. One problem: one of the first girls they pick up turns out to be, well, kind’a psychotic. In fact, way psychotic. Ultimately, like the promo says, “they will end up trapped in a house where they will have to fight an evil girl and the evil inside them.”

If the full-length feature is half as clever as the trailer, then this may actually work. In the meantime, enjoy the coming attraction:
