You be the judge!

First Person perspective had been done before. Look up Lady In the Lake (1947). The opening for Dark Passage (also 1947) was first person until the main character has plastic surgery to turn into Humphrey Bogart (who wouldn't?). These films were known for being gimmicky in this respect and it's a gimmick that's been rarely imitated, and usually for only a brief sequence like Dark Passage. An episode of M*A*S*H comes to mind and now I feel really old. I guess the found footage movies that have been popping up since Blair Witch kind of count.

The problem with first person perspective is that people tend to think it's ideal for putting you "right into" the action and the characters. Not really. Such things misunderstand how people and movies work.

We don't get into the characters because we can't even see the characters. If you play first person shooter video games, try to tell me about the character you play. Just try. You can't partially because the game companies usually leave the player character a block of polystyrene but this is because the game companies have learned that the players never get to know and do not care about the flea-bitten mule they must ride through the game.

It just doesn't work because it's difficult to empathize with a character you can't even see. This leaves you with trying to experience things as yourself. Movies have a disadvantage here because video games have interactivity, so you can just walk away from the cheerleader ninjas wielding with chainsaws if you don't want to go over there. Movies are passive, so putting it in the first person makes the audience keenly aware that they are watching a movie, which doesn't just break the suspension of disbelief. It grinds it into dust. It is the uncanny valley of P.O.V.'s.

All of this said, a first person film can still have something to offer. What it doesn't offer what some people seem to thing: a more immersive experience. Everything about first person makes a film less immersive. It can work alright in small doses, like when the killer is stalking the shrieking teenager. But an entire film? I doubt it.
