Mike Chester's directorial debut The Trick or Treaters (2016) is the first found footage film shot and told in two perspectives. Filmed when he was 17 with a teenage cast on a literal zero budget, besides the cost of the camera. One handheld camera and a prop camera was used in certain shots to look as if two cameras were being used. All scenes were shot separately one after another rather than at the same time with two recording sources. The full movie premiered online last Friday uploaded to Youtube by the makers of the film RedRoot films, watch it now for free legally here or at the end of this post after the synopsis, web spot and screencaps/animated gifs below:
IMDb.com SYNOPSIS: During a mellow pre-Halloween night of drinks, pranks and old horror films, Amy and Jake film a last minute schedule video for their school's annual Halloween fundraiser, but they are quickly interrupted by a strange group of trick or treaters, also equipped with a video camera. Dismissing it as a prank by their friends, they ignore the strange interruption and continue with their night. As strange things continue to occur and escalate to an extreme level, the students quickly discover that they are dealing with dark individuals...and they don't want candy.
