I registered so I could complain about this movie...

Rating: 1/10 (26 April 2008)

The actors and actresses in this movie, for the most part, looked like they were acting...but with sincerity. That's all I can say about this movie that might be good, other than to say I'm grateful it wasn't longer.
Maybe there is still a little bit of competition left for worst movie of all time that was still a box office producer...but only a little. Jaws III is still the winner. Jaws III was worse than this movie...but only a little.
I wasn't scared, startled, or even able to laugh at the badly delivered "suspense" in this film. This movie was just bad. If I wasn't almost obsessive about finishing stories I start, I would have left this movie unfinished. What did I get for my trouble? A story ending that I predicted in the first 5 minutes...and again throughout the movie as the "video" kept inexplicably cutting to happier moments. Inexplicable isn't fair. Hud was a moron, right? That's why he couldn't operate a point and shoot video camera, right? Hud might have been a gibbering imbecile, but he'd have to have no IQ at all to have that much difficulty operating a camera. But...if he were that lacking in intellectual capacity...how could he have mustered the fortitude to keep carrying the camera for those who "are gonna want to know"?
Sorry, Mr. Writer. I can't suspend disbelief on all fronts at once. What makes a good story is that thread of reality that keeps us grounded. NOTHING in this movie, unless you count humans still breathing air, kept this story grounded.
Wow! What a completely lousy movie! Please, please, please don't let this guy make another movie! And if we can't keep him away, please at least give us the big warning that says, "From the maker of that big stinker, Cloverfield!"
