This one though, I am somewhat cautious on, as it seems to at least partially be similar in style to the likes of Cloverfield and Blair Witch, albeit not with camcorders.
I think I may hold out til this one is on tv as well.

It certainly has potential, but I am not gonna get too excited about it!


The documentary style is used on and off during the film. You're not limited by it like Cloverfield or Blair Witch. It's used just enough to give you the feeling that all this shit is real by giving exposition without having a character having to awkwardly say long lines in the middle of the narrative to get you up to speed.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
