I can't think of one thing that would make this subgenre anything less than the gimmicky shit it has become. Cannibal Holocaust beat them all! No one should fall for this anymore! Has anyone else noticed that films like Blair Witch and Cloverfield are far less enjoyable upon the second viewing? It's because they actually suck. They survived entirely based upon the gimmick.
