...but doesn't a live action 'pope' have to be part of the on-camera smear and cover-up to achieve classic XXX status? ;0)
Seriously, in my not-so-humble opinion Cloverfield was a thousand times more accomplished & entertaining than the ludicrous student film known as The Blair Witch Project. In fact, BWP should've been retitled "How I Spent My Summer Film Internship" or "Camping Out With Scary Friends"!
Granted, Blair Witch was innovative (pointing the way for better budgeted, more sophisticated films like Cloverfield), but BW succeeded in spite of its obvious limitations (cheesy acting and dialog, and an abysmally cheap, unfinished appearance); facts which shouldn't be ignored retrospectively. IOW, I'm of the opinion that The Blair Witch Project was a fluke.
As I believe I've stated on several occasions, special effects which serve a well constructed plot shouldn't be a distraction unless the CGI draws too much attention to itself (I think that the pope and a couple of nuns might actually do that, but if so, we're talking about a live action plot! -grin).
The bottom line: properly incorporated FX should increase the realism of live action footage and enhance the suspension of disbelief.

PS: No offense tin, but you should try to get past the personal effect that this film is having on you before your blood boils and an explosion ensues! (~;^D)
PPS: FYI, you should come to grips with the fact that we just see this film differently. :O)
