I've seen a few annoying movies, but this one takes the cake.

Rating: 2/10 (14 January 2014)

The fact that the story is told using the "handheld video camera" plot device is bad enough— especially for an action / horror movie, where the technique stretches the willing suspension of disbelief past the breaking point — but the true weakness of this movie is that the viewer can't sympathize with the characters. In fact, this viewer was hoping after the first 10 minutes that one or more of the main characters —self-absorbed millennial yuppies — would just die, please. After 18 minutes of mindlessly banal banter at a party before anything remotely suspenseful even happens, I was also wishing the same fate on the director and screenwriter. I'll give the movie two stars rather than one because of the decent production values.
