6) Paranormal Activity

While The Blair Witch Project started a trend of found footage, it was the Oren Peli directorial, that really revived the genre in the 2000s and explored its capabilities. The movie has a basic plot about a couple being haunted in their home by a presence and setting up cameras to record it. But it is enlivened by the found footage style that makes the setting tense and real. The popular movies spawned a successful franchise.
