Everyone remembers the Blair Witch Project which came out in 1999 to a lot of prepackaged marketing from the three students who created it.

The movie brought in $250 Million at the box office, not too bad for a film that was made basically on a consumer camcorder.

Since then there have been several movies using the same filming process these students did.

We’ve had Cloverfield, several Paranormal Activity movies, Chernobyl Diaries and on and on.
Why does this new form of crappy film making continue to draw people to the theaters? I just don’t get it and when I watched one of these films, I feel like I’m inside a cardboard box looking out of a peep hole.

My wife and I rented a movie this past weekend and we didn’t know it was one of these types of movies until we had paid for it and started watching it.

Everything was filmed on a video camera, and there were several parts of the movie where something or someone else was cam cording the events, it was confusing, stupid and borderline amateurish.
I wanted to watch a camcorder project, I’d go to one of my nieces school project nights and see what a fifth grader did.

When I pay money to watch a movie that was created in Hollywood by a producer, and has known actors in it, I expect them to use a quality camera and spare me the grade school techniques.

Come on motion picture industry….Lights…..A Real Camera…Action!
