I found APOLLO 18 to be one of the worst I had ever seen until last night when I watched THE AMITYVILLE HAUNTING. I wasn't expecting much from Asylum but it was about as bad as bad can get. It's also...

I thought the X-FILES episode "X-Cops" used the concept fairly well -- it's literally supposed to be an episode of FOX's COPS show. Also "not quite," but PEARL HARBOR had a fellow with a home movie...
