I know you didn't enjoy this film, but do you dislike 'found footage' type films, in general. When they're done right, I think its a good way of telling a story that really suits horror - I buy it more and get immersed and theres also an uncomfortable sense of I suppose voyeurism and you feel kind of complicit in the events of the film which adds to the tension.
There's a found footage film on Amazon Prime called 'Exhibit A', which I would recommend. Its about a 'happy' family who start to unravel. I would imagine it was made on a small budget and it does take a while for the horror to kick in, but it does subtly build up tension throughout. I thought it was well acted and I got invested in the characters - also the 'found footage' angle wasn't just a cheap framing device it was crucial to the story being told and quite realistic. Worth a look.
