Perhaps there's a trendy new word out there to describe these hand-held camera movies.
From my own experience, I was blown away by THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.
And, then there was "Blair Witch" meets "Godzilla" which equaled CLOVERFIELD.
I loved both of those films for the same reason I love PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
Intimacy.
Failing a Google search for a cool new word to describe this hand-held phenomenon, I shall extrapolate a literary term (perhaps too loosely) and say that I regard these movies to be the cinematic expression of confessional poetry.
I consider PARANOMAL ACTIVITY to be "Blair Witch" meets "Poltergeist."
And what makes it ring true is the relationship between our common-law husband/wife dual protagonists.
The guy tries to fix things like a macho man and the girl keeps telling him that he is useless.
So everyone can relate to that, right?

I did something right once, but I don't get to take credit for it. She tells me that I only thought that I was right.
