Sort of kind of

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2009)

I never went to see this in the cinema but after watching it i really have to say, It's alright in some respects and fair enough it isn't based on any truth anyway (lol). However it is chock full of corny acting by mid 20 model types, so anyway the start of the film introduces our heroes and how big a douche, they all are and at one point three friends are talking, two of the three ask the third for secrets about someone- she says no but after about 3 seconds of persuasion she gives in. Five to ten Min's into it the havoc soon ensues people panicking, eventually realising what kind of threat they're under the group of friends -the film's based around- head for safety looking for a way out of Manhattan (following a comfortable maze which ranges from subways to mall stores). In my opinion the group seem a little too confident on their ability to survive, another irritating aspect has to be the guy with the camera (conveniently named HUDD) no matter how close to dying they are THIS guy never seems to lose grip of his camcorder and his constant yammering surprisingly doesn't cause anyone to flip out and strangle him. He and his camcorder are in heaven now.A large chunk of the film involves a man desperate to find his gf before he can leave. Now with all this said it is just a film, and the rest of the films plot does retain a scary aspect and certain scenes make you want to question just what it is that's terrorising them and where it really came from. So if you can stomach 45 Min's of cheesy acting the rest is a breeze
