Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that's an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.
I'll go first: I think "Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows" was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.

As above, So Below
Let me preface this with I also love most of the Paranormal Activity movies and Cloverfield, that found footage format when it came out to the mainstream was just really gripping to me and I try to vacuum up as much of them as I can.
As above, So Below really stuck with me, despite the opinion being somewhat mixed. I'll also say, for some reason - I really like caves/subterranea. Minecraft, Deep Rock, 7 Days to Die mining, Runescape. I think I must of been a dwarf in a past life/dimension or some shit.
It just felt really desperate and the tunnel/horror aspect just kept going, those guys were fucked basically and it kept getting weirder.
Dylatov pass was a similarly cool but kinda shitty movie too, it has another name too Devil's pass or something. I like that for similar reasons too, kinda dumb but equally hopeless feeling.
I don't remember the name because it ALSO had two release names [regionally] for some reason. But it was two english ghost hunters who stayed in a church, there was a weird priest every now and then, and no spoilers - they found an underground basement and it...went from there he he he. That was good too and probably lower than 50% . Anyone know the name?? Found footage of course.
As Above, So Below was one of the first horror movies I ever watched, because I always was a weenie and thought I couldn't handle horror movies. Then one day I decided to watch this one and came to love the genre (I'm still a weenie though). The movie holds a special place in my heart for that reason.
I did find it a little disjointed and some parts felt rushed (like when she has to go back to put the stone back in place). Also the main character is a bit insufferable. But the art direction and set design is great and the movie does a great job at building atmosphere and suspense.
Also I think the other movie you're thinking of is The Borderlands! I've only seen the Ryan Hollinger video about it but it's also great.
Found Footage movies are kinda easy for this thread in particular
Trollhunter is my favourite from that "genre"
Final Prayer/The Borderlands(2013)?
Yeah! That ending 😍
