Footage found after a disaster is raw, unfiltered and often terrifying. Paranormal Activity has a couple setting up cameras to document a haunting, Cloverfield turns a birthday party into a monster-attack escape, and As Above, So Below follows a team into the Paris catacombs. Chronicle gives the format a superpowered twist, and [REC] and The Blair Witch Project are the two that made people take it seriously.
