Does the premise of found footage horror spoil the ending to almost every film in its genre? Is there any suspense left?

Interesting you showed clips of Cannibal Holocaust, since not only does Robert Kerman play the Professor Monroe character as so likable and ethical he makes Indiana Jones look like a grave robbing hack, he gives humanity to an otherwise bleak movie where certain egregious lapses of artistic excess were made by killing real animals. And because Cannibal Holocaust is only part found footage, we get to learn more about Monroe as a character, what he stands for, we want him to live and he does. Side note, comparing the anthropological ethics of both Professor Monroe and Indiana Jones would make for a great future episode.
