Found-Footage POV Forest Horror

A terrifyingly immersive POV horror prompt set in a dark forest and an abandoned house, styled like amateur found footage.

Prompt
POV found-footage horror scene in an original forest-lost-survival horror aesthetic. The entire scene is from first-person perspective, as if filmed on an old handheld consumer camera. Low-quality image, unstable autofocus, dirty digital grain, compression artifacts, low dynamic range, weak exposure, occasional glitch flicker, raw amateur camera texture. Deep forest at night, wet ground, dead branches, distant wind, then inside a decaying abandoned wooden house hidden in the trees. Mood: extreme tension, suffocating dread, oppressive silence broken by panicked breathing and quiet sobbing. 0–5s: shaky POV moving through dense dark forest with flashlight beam trembling. Heavy breathing close to the microphone. The person whispers through tears: "I don’t know where I am… please… please..." Branches scrape the lens, footsteps crunch on wet leaves. 5–10s: the camera stumbles toward the old house. Fast unstable push through the doorway into a rotten interior. Floorboards creak. The breathing becomes more frantic. The person starts crying harder and says: "Someone is in here… I heard it…" 10–15s: slow pan across the dark room, filthy walls, broken furniture, hanging fabric moving slightly. The camera catches a childlike bundle of sticks hanging in a corner. A faint noise comes from upstairs. The person gasps, starts trembling, and whispers: "No… no… don’t do this..." 15–20s: the POV turns toward a doorway. In the far corner of the room, a motionless human figure stands facing the wall. The camera freezes, breathing turns into sobbing. The person whispers: "Why are you standing there?" The figure slowly tilts its head without turning around. Hard camera glitch, violent drop in the frame, instant blackout. Authentic raw POV horror, realistic panic breathing, crying voice, unstable handheld motion, oppressive forest and house atmosphere, no cinematic polish, viral terrifying payoff, normal proportions without stretch.
