Found footage is all the rage in Europe right now! The genre has proved so popular that French film production company Fright House Pictures and producer/director Fabien Delage are releasing the very first French Found Footage Anthology. 8 independent French film makers directed 7 15-minutes films for an hour and 45 minutes of pure fear in the style of “Blair Witch” and V/H/S! 3:15am, inspired by the Devil’s Hour, reinvents the Horror Anthology Movie à la française.
Has evil ever crossed your path at 3:15 in the morning? That infamous hour when the Devil comes to life and the doorway to the supernatural world opens. This brand new anthology explores this eerie time of night feared by most horror film fans. Whereas 3:15 is often associated with demonic possession in films and popular culture, those 8 directors have decided to explore different kinds of genres so as to offer a fresh look on a type of cinema supposedly on the decline. But one thing is for sure, 3:15am does not only bring back the Found Footage genre! Time has come to die.
3:15am introduces a new generation of talented indie French film makers.
