Camcorder horror games

In these games you look at the dark through a handheld camcorder, or the whole game is shown as old tape with a REC light, a date stamp and a running timecode. The camera is often your only light or night vision, and its battery runs down, so you hunt for spares while something moves just past the edge of the frame.
