Exactly. When it's just used an effective shot technique, it works.
When they stick to Found Footage like it's a law -- people picking up a camera when it's the last thing a sane person would do -- it's so jolting and pathetic. The story has to trump it.
There's films where it works for the story/script, and others it doesn't.
I think it worked really well for Cloverfield, The Blair Witch Project, Chronicles and VHS, but most of the other films were just ridiculous.
But they are very cheap to make, so I see plenty coming yet.
