My opinion on found footage is that I only like a few of them. I haven't seen that really popular one yet with the ghosts in the house. But my favorite was the tv show with the group that goes down a river in South America. At least when people talk about found footage, that's the one I remember the most. I can't even recall my favorite found footage movie right now.
Yes I think it worked for awhile but has outlived its novelty, like 3D. For me, the whole appeal is it makes you feel like you are a participant in the horror, with the first-person perspective. I think found footage has drifted away from that now.

And Blair Witch franchise will never recover. Very sad the studios have killed two franchises, Ghostbusters and Blair Witch, in a matter of months.
