When Blair Witch did it, it was a novelty (though I'm sure somebody did this earlier). The movie sucked balls though, boring as hell. Just as you'd expect from found footage.
Cloverfield was nice, most likely because it wasn't shaky cam due to lack of budget, like most others are. They had effects and high quality production.
I *hated* Paranormal Activity because a bunch of (what I have to assume are) little girls or, just as likely, a squad of guerilla marketeers spread the rumor that it was "sooo scary", when really it was Blair Witch all over again.
I liked Rec and its American remake, because I like Jennifer Carpenter.
