Best Buy Movie

Any film so poorly or cheap produced (writing, acting, production values) that it appears it was made by someone who bought all their video equipment at a Best Buy. The usual format is a "found footage" horror, Bigfoot, alien abduction, rape-revenge, or slasher theme where lots of dumb, and often stoned and/or drunk, oversexed college students (or twenty something actors playing high school students) get killed through extremely contrived and ill conceived plot holes. Usually the director and writer also "act" as either victims or the killer. Not to be confused with cult films from the 1970s and 1980s using more conventional production values such as Friday the 13th, etc., rather the genre is a shoestring outgrowth of Blair Witch Project, etc.

Since the Covid-19 lockdowns I have wasted too many hours watching Best Buy Movies on Tubi and YouTube.
