I was more scared by the Wizard of Oz!

Rating: 4/10 (23 January 2008)

I went into this movie really wanting to like it having loved Lost by the same director. But somehow this was neither scary or entertaining. This was a big feeling of seeing it all before, and there were moments which had clearly been copied from the 9/11 home movie footage we all saw beamed around the world. Blair Witch was also always in my mind, but it never scared me at all. The characters were not likable and you were left feeling that you wished the monster would hurry up and kill them! On the way out of the cinema in Australia people were saying much of the same thing. Really, this is just a rehash of the Blair Witch and War of the Worlds which went wrong - I honestly think the wicked witch off the Wizard of Oz is more scary than this.
