Cannibal Holocaust (and others) may have predated Blair Witch, but by no means did they start the trend. How many found footage films can you think of between 1980 and 1999? Do you think the producers of Paranormal Activity were saying, "Let's make a movie like Cannibal Holocaust? Deodato really cashed in on that one."
