Of course it's a marketing niche for the studios, but right now, it's a marketing tactic that's making them money in order to produce bigger budgeted movies with better quality films.

There are a few movies that can pull off the small budget, but lets be honest....how many "shakey home filmed" flicks can you watch?

Don't get me wrong, I love the classics, and I appreciate gritty-raw-homemade movies, but sometimes change is good.

That depends... in all honesty once you get a certain amount of cash (say, a good bit more than the Polonia brothers use) you can make a whole variety of films, good or bad. They don't have to have higher quality or appeal to a certain standard.

I'd welcome more gritty films personally, but that doesn't mean they have to be "Blair Witch Project" style. Think of the original TCM or Evil Dead, some of the best horror out there. Likewise, you can make a good high budget horror film and not need that much spectacle/3D stoof
