Excellent

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2008)

I went to see this movie with a couple of friends the other week and I found it to be a superb movie, full of suspense and action. The whole videocam experience was done really well, and really added to the on edge feel that I experienced through the movie, especially when something major happens and the camera is dropped or bouncing as they are running away. These touches made the movie seem and feel more immersive and believable. Character development was well done, and, for me at least, I began to care about what happened to the characters (unlike Blair Witch). Some criticisms was basically the special effects were nothing special, and the monsters in a similar sense were unimaginative. Also the movie is not particularly long at all, and with the fast pace of the movie, leaves you wanting so much more. However these minor complaints shouldn't detract from what it is a suspenseful and entertaining horror film, and in my opinion the one of the best new films of 2008.
