Found (stylized as found.) is a 2012 American horror movie based on Todd Rigney's 2004 indie novel of the same name.Troubled fifth grader Marty loves to snoop through everyone's most private belongings at home. His mom, Lisa, has a series of letters from an ex-lover; his dad, Stanley, has a stash of porno magazines; and his brother, Steve, collects severed heads in bowling ball bags. Now that he knows his brother's secret, it's his secret, too. He can't let anyone find out, least of all Steve. But his life is falling apart the longer he keeps the secret. | |

Full-Frontal Assault | |
| found. / int_18ce8f1d | comment |
Full-Frontal Assault: An absolutely horrifying one carried out by the obscenely well endowed Steve after he rapes and murders his mother; presenting himself to his bound little brother covered head to toe in blood. Even worse in the uncut version where we get another before the act but with a full on raging erection. | |

| found. / int_2d4fa515 | comment |
Ax-Crazy: Besides the fact that Steve is a serial killer, he's clearly not completely there. His racist rants, while disgusting, are clearly the manifestations of an unhinged mind. The only bit of stability he shows is when he's around Marty, who he spares at the end. | |

Downer Ending: Dear god. Steve murders his parents, leaves Marty tied up and left to an unknown fate, and it's never made clear if he plans on turning himself in. Even if he does, Marty will undoubtedly be left damaged for the rest of his life. And that's assuming if he's ever found. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones | |
| found. / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Probably one of the worst examples of this trope in history. Steve does appear to genuinely care about Marty, even going out of his way to kill a bully for mistreating his younger brother. However, he slaughters their parents when Marty pleads with him not to, and leaves Marty bound and gagged and tied to the bed without letting him go free. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: Steve comes across as a lot more cordial with Marty, and like less of a Big Brother Bully, which brings a certain air of tragedy to his character that wasn't in the book. His racism — while still present — is also considerably toned down. | |

Abusive Parents: At first glance, Stanley and Lisa aren't actually that bad. They care about their children (or at least Marty), even if Stanley is a racist who constantly fights with Steve, and Lisa is constantly treating Marty like a baby. By the climax, Stanley's abusive tendencies are in full bloom, where he strikes Marty and even orders Lisa to shut up when she pleads with him not to hit Marty again. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: In stark contrast to the Headless segment, the gore in the rest of the movie is about as restrained as one could expect from a film with severed heads in bowling balls. Most of the actual violence happens just off screen and it is chilling. | |

Jerkass: Many of them. Marty himself. Sure, he's bullied, and his life has been a waking nightmare since the discovery of his brother's hobby, but he goes a little overboard at times, and increasingly so until the end. Steve, being a racist Serial Killer and all. Though he ventures into Jerk with a Heart of Gold territory towards Marty and only towards Marty. Stanley, Steve and Marty's father, who is also quite racist, and has his abusive tendencies come out at the climax. David, a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who only tolerates Marty, but secretly despises him. He punches him for crying in the book. Marcus Sanders, the school bully. | |
