It's a PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER more than a HORROR flick!

Rating: 6/10 (1 November 2009)

I'm not going to repeat the gist of what most of the other posters have already stated about this "mockumentary" film. I'm not going to agree with the comments about not being able to sleep after seeing it or that it was the scariest movie I've ever seen.
I AM going to say that the hype is DESERVED because this is another one of those cool indie films that follows the adage "Less is More" and that no place is scarier than one's own imagination.
Go watch this film with an open mind. Don't expect stellar acting, a full-circle storyline, or things to be dealt with "appropriately". Humans RARELY deal with stressful situations "appropriately". I myself came away from the theater (last night!) thinking of what I would've done differently, would've changed, etc., and I'm no film student, but this movie stands on its own because it scares you WITHOUT over-the-top gore, violence, tragedy, or needless extraneous romantic couplings. If Hollywood could produce more "scary" films without all those things, I'd actually go to the theater more than three times a year again.
Go to a matinée if you don't want to pay full price for a "blockbuster" caliber movie, but I wouldn't recommend going alone. There are creepy and jumpy moments that are more fun experienced with a friend. Enjoy!
