While The Blair Witch Project is a pinnacle in found footage history, there’s no denying the power and impact Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity had on the genre. Scott Slone was one filmmaker inspired by the found footage boom in the late 2000s. He wanted to make his own tale of DIY terror. Now, a decade later, that film, now titled Malibu Horror Story is finally coming to theaters.
