I'm not going to agree with every one and say the the hand held cam is over used because you think you are saying something that no one else has thought of. And because I don't believe it is over used.

How many handy cam movies can you think of? How many of those suck? Diary of the dead was good. [rec] was good it remake Quarantine was good, Cloverfield was good. Blair witch is said to be good, Are there any of the "Over used technique movies" that are unwatchable?
If you want to sound like you are this film expert say you are tired of movies with asshole producers butchering a script to "sell" a movie. You know I wasted $1.09 to see Army of the Dead, rented from a redbox dvd rental machine. That is what I am tired of that movie was a cliche' the entire movie it sucked.
Paranormal activity was great it totally fucked hollywood and they still wanted to make it over into a full production and it would have flopped. Can you imagine if it was made into a huge film with Kevin Pollack running around trying to have chemistry with some caught in the head lights like Maggie Gyllenhaal. Or two idiots from Friday the 13th 2009 one showing off their new tits the other his new hair. Just an example I don't know who they would have cast in the flop.

You guys if you didn't like it fine but you should be glad and thankful it wasn't ruined by hollywood. And hope that hollywood would release more films weather indie or foreign instead of remaking them. But the question is with word of mouth (i haven"t seen a TV or internet ad in weeks but i live in NY so they might figure on us seeing theater posters and such) a movie has been a success it was made for $15,000 I think they sold it to paramount for $250,000 so Paramount is getting their cut of all those millions....I hope everyone involved with the making of the film gets something out of that. Not sure how that works after you sell to a studio...
I will say that paranormal activity will be declared the biggest horror movie of 2009 by what ever media company declares those things.
And Paramount wants to make a sequel with will suck because it will go so far from the original.

When i watched it i really got into the movie it just seemed real.. the chick had arm fat where do you see that in high budget movies? They didn't over act. You could imagine it happening to you in your own house. And it wasn't like that Ghost Hunters crap show where they scream at nothing and bump into the camera person. Don't think i have gotten through an entire episode of that.

Just imagine if you had seven free days....$15,000.... four actors... and an empty house.
What would you make? Would the world watch? Would hollywood scratch their heads?
