Backed with TWH on Animal Man. Now if I could just catch up with all of the issues I’m missing from the series I’m keeping up with.. haha. Swamp Thing too, so damn good. Marvel should do a reboot of Werewolf By Night and all would be good in the world.

Well, that’s something. I still think it’s kind of an interesting meta-title tho.

Not totally. The main character, Andrew, at the beginning of the film says that he’s going to start recording everything. That’s basically it.

But why the name, then? Is there an in-story reason?

Sure, that’s possible, since the presence of a camera is a very big part of the narrative. I think it was more that he just thought about the strengths and weaknesses of the form and paid attention to his filmmaking. Because making a found footage film is “easy” to do — doesn’t take a lot of personal style, lighting, good acting, good sound, etc — I think they are usually just made as quickly and cheaply as possible. I would say more that Trank simply put in more effort.

See if you can pick up what I’m laying down: do you think perhaps Trank SET OUT to make the ultimate found footage movie? Maybe that’s why he called it “Chronicle,” a title which definitely applies more to that genre than anything superhero-y.

I 100% agree with 8/10. I would possibly change the order slightly, and would trade out Warrior and 13 Assassins for Jane Eyre and The Artist. Great list! Lots of female directors and female stars for a top ten list!
