The `Found Footage' Phenomenon

Here's a stewable read of the many movies that have used the technique of `found footage'. Obviously, to many people, `The Blair Witch Project' comes immediately to mind - but, it is hardly alone. Anyway, this post digs in the graveyard of such movies - http://www.mercuryrapids.co.uk/foundfootage.htm Barf Stew. And, here's a tease:
`There is a genre of film that divides the cinema-going public and critics like, perhaps, no other. That genre is known as ‘found-footage’. Basically, each of these films places the viewer in the centre of the action, with the cameraman (or woman) being one of the characters in the film, rather than a dispassionate observer.

Usually, but not always, ‘found-footage’ films are a sub-section of the horror genre. Notable exceptions to this rule are Zero Day, The Poughkeepsie Tapes and Cloverfield. Another rule is that the film-makers have disappeared or died, leaving behind the ‘found-footage’.
They are often made on a very small budget and are as far from a Hollywood blockbuster as you can get. Quite often, though, they break box-office records and/or garner huge cult followings.'
