Horrible waste of money, audience was irritated

Rating: 2/10 (21 January 2008)

This movies was advertised on every local radio station, especially the opening day, showing the remarkable amount of money that was spent on advertising.
It was tooted as a different movie, both in plot and in cinematic's.
Unfortunately what was suppose to be a good movie ended up being a waste of time, even if offered for free.
I sat through the first 40 Min's, nothing at all is happening and the plot is about absolutely nothing. I was so bored I kept closing my eyes hoping that the creature that was suppose to be in this film would attack the movie theater and kill me.
I thought about leaving many times.
The camera angles were wrong. At times the person (HUD) was suppose to be holding the camera to his head was obviously holding it off to the side. It was too shaky, not at all realistic for normal operation, but the reason for this shakiness was obvious later in the film.
At around the 40 min mark, after watching a film about nothing important or interesting, the creature attacked. The footage of the beast was roughly 2 Min's, followed buy another 15 Min's of nothing at all. This basically continues until the end. We see a pattern of trying to minimize shots of the beast and maximize scenes of drab boring and immensely irritating conversations about what to do next.
Many times I felt as if someone was hitting my head with a rubber mallet. I was immensely annoyed.
Everything, except for the 10 Min's in total you see the beast, was horrible. The plot, were this small posse of intellectual effluent's with their sidekick drunk HUD are trying to rescue this woman that one of the guys slept with ONCE and apparently is in love with (please keep the damn love stories out of action films!) is just too much to bear.
To sum it up.
Cheap film, cheap acting, cheap actors, bad plot. Shaking camera to allow for lower resolution animations and add excitement by making it feel like something is happening. bad beginning, bad ending. horrible!
At the end of the film there was almost complete silence, except for a few people complaining out loud and one man who actually yelled he wanted his money back to the cheer of many in the crowd.
Just like the Blair witch project, bad film with a lot of hype, hoping for the first week to bring in enough money from the 18-24 group before word of mouth spreads that this movie is more boring than taking a rubber chicken for a walk.
Keep your money for something worth while.
