Camera horror games on PlayStation

In these games a camera is how you face the dark. You raise a handheld camcorder, an instant camera or an old film camera, and through its lens you seal ghosts, light up what hides in a room or film footage worth selling. The fear is in the frame: you see only what the viewfinder shows, film and batteries run low, and the shot you need means looking straight at the thing you would rather run from.
