A Poor Excuse for a Movie

Rating: 4/10 (26 April 2008)

I can't think of anything more silly than the thousands of 10 scores for this only halfway decent Blair Witch wannabee -- except it might be studio generated feed. Studios have paid for positive reviews for decades, surely the internet hasn't changed that.
Longing for Richard Carlson in "It Came From Outer Space" or even Dakota Fanning in "War of the Worlds" instead we get another of those hand-held camera things wherein the filmmakers are incapable of making a real movie, with real suspense, and rely 100% on cheap, stupid tricks. There isn't a trace of suspense or horror because the director has no clue how that's done.
From the makers of ABC's "LOST" -- in my opinion the best TV series in decades -- we expected a first rate movie. Well, this ain't it.
