Low budgety looking superpowers movie

Looks good in a sort of Cloverfield/Blair Witch way though the hand held camera look is nauseating to some.
A clever idea taking yee oldie 'Super powered brat {s}' and watching as they begin to be corrupted by the talents they have.
Will the two take on the corrupt one? Why are they all male and no female? Still a different and entertaining take on the I've got Super powers -and I know how to use/abuse 'em! genre.

Why
should it be otherwise?
have added this to my to watch list. i love the handheld movie types. post hijack but anyone seen the tunnel. decent.
This is out now, apparently. I've read some very strong reviews and plan to see it over the weekend if I get time.
Wallace is in this movie, and I think he manages to beat Chronicle in the end.
Ahhh, that's who that actor was! All the way through I kept trying to place him, but failing. I knew it had to be someone from The Wire, though.
"YO STRING! WHERE WALLACE AT?"
The Wire took over my life for a period.
Got all the series on a download and watched it obsessively till the end!
"A hunt'in will will go!"
My review of Chronicle, as well as The Grey:

Saw this tonight. Quite good. DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER!
Went for the double bill of The Grey too. Also good in a B-movie sort of way.
Shot in SA.. I know a few people that worked on it.. And it shares a location with Dredd..
Bought the blu-ray, and just watched it.
Well worth a look, the jumping through hoops to get the whole found footage thing working is a bit eye-rolling at times, but there are nice touches to it.
Some great set pieces, good script by Max Landis - who did that Death of Superman youtube vid a while back, I preferred it to Troll Hunter.
So which one is Chronicle?
The cheerleader
I thought this was terrific, although the Blair Witch style got pretty unconvincing by the end.
