Really? No, I mean really? This was scary? Wasn't this a comedy?

Rating: 1/10 (16 November 2009)

This film was not scary, was unintelligent and was immensely overrated. Of course, if you like the Blair Witch set-up, then this is definitely your film.
Let me start off by saying that it's amazing what passes for film nowadays. This is neither thriller nor horror, it is a bunch of amateurs with a video camera (albeit with extremely unsteady hands) and a computer. The sound effects are so cliché and predictable that it amazes me that people don't just laugh at it.
I was dragged to the theater to see this film by a friend. OK, so I admit that the trailer did seem somewhat impressive and the ad campaign combined with the gossip was overwhelming. But, about fifteen minutes into the movie I was yawning. I was waiting for some unpredictable moment and genuinely jumped out at you. But that moment never came.
Perhaps, I am an outlier in terms of my opinion but, to me, this is a pathetic piece of "film" that did not deserve this much praise and success. I would have given a little more credit to this movie if it were, perhaps, premised on some true story. But, since it wasn't, it belongs in the trash. Save yourself the time and energy, don't see this film, it's not what its hyped up to be. In the end, you are only making some undeserving and unimaginative amateur filmmaker even more ridiculously rich.
