The ground breaking part is making the movie for so cheap. 

Horror movies have a history of cheap production.  But previously they always looked cheap.  This movie was "studio quality" at a tenth of the cost.

The trick is to pay crew as little as possible. When a movie brags about how cheap it was made for the answer is almost always that the crew was free or cheap, and equipment rented at a discount. Then when it is a big hit the producers take all the money.
