    Yes, the whole factor that made me love both original films was it's "found footage" style of deliverance..it's that kind of filming that narrows your vision, scope of the surroundings, and builds up that precious suspense that really scares me. Granted , Grave Encounters 2 did keep somewhat faithful to the original, the points you raised did come through during my watching of it and by the end i felt overall that it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. Blair Witch 2 was just garbage... i actually wanted my money back when i rented Blair Witch 2.

    guess the show:

    up and coming exec gets job at radio station full of dysfunctional personnel, including a buxom secretary, a stoner DJ, and delusional news man.

    bonus point for naming the characters.

    I love the Australian low-budget movie scene.

    "Last train to Freo" (a personal favourite, having ridden that train more time than I care to remember and knowing those people like the back of my hand)
    "Dying Breed"
    "Cactus"
    "Noise"
    "He Died with a Felafel in his Hand"

    These are the types of movies which will give a glimpse in to Australia far more than "Australia" ever could.

    I was having a problem getting connected yesterday. But I did a little searching around in Netflix for something that might fit your description and came up with the following.

    I only recognized Joe Rogan & Phil Hartman as names I know. I haven't watched this series yet, but may do so now.

    nope.. think older sitcom.
    I would put the city but think that would give it away too easily.. same with naming characters..
    how about 'invisible walls' for a clue?

    (and its not on Netflix, I looked)

    There's a surprisingly charming film from Oz that I stumbled upon: "Griff: The Invisible"
    I'm a big fan of comic-book stuff, so it's a real treat to find something that puts a down-to-earth spin on it in such a charming way.
    It really is low-budget, though, so be warned.

    I've... never heard of it. I'll get back to you on this, if I remember to. Post it note, there we go.
    Nothing wrong with being low-budget, though. Nothing wrong with that at all. Low budget, start up directors have a tendency to be so... sincere.

    This is what Netflix has to say about it and it's rated at 3 and a half stars.

    Those last 4 are Japanese and I don't like subtitles, so I don't do foreign movies unless I know they are in English and in Netflix they rarely are.

    I have to agree... I watch Netflix daily. I hate subtitles... I just bypass those films.
