Impressive given the low budget

Rating: 6/10 (2 March 2020)

So back when this movie was trending I watched it with a friend and we laughed our butts off, that is until my friend received a phone call and had to leave.. Not so funny to watch alone in the dark. I watched it again yesterday to see if it still had to same effect on me. It didn't. The scares were all worn out and the acting was plain pathetic. But regardless of my subjective point of view I am impressed by what this movie accomplished with it's extremely limited budget. People actually ran out of the movie theaters in fear and it was actually banned in certain countries. The point of any horror movie is to scare the audience, and this movie succeeded to say the least. It didn't age particularly well but for it's time it was somewhat original, despite taking a little too much inspiration from The Blair Witch Project.
