It's better than you think

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2010)

I have read a few reviews of this movie and it put me in a crossroad. Some people say that it's a low budget crap movie while others say it's a horror marvel of 2009. Movie starts without any proper introduction it goes straight to a "footage" which makes it feels like it is a homemade movie. During a period of 30 minutes you find yourself as you are actually in the house with a couple, you get to know the house and every time something happens you know what camera "guy" is going to check which greatly increases the effect of the movie on you. The tension of the movie is glued by a few spooky nights that a couple had and the aftermath of that lead to ever growing tension towards the end which eventually exploded. Wobbly camera has put off many people but if you can accept that you will "enjoy" the movie. Beside that the acting was OK meaning that the whole idea is to make it look authentic and as close as possible to what has actually happened but I still got upset by the acting of a main leading actress - if I were her I would probably **** my trousers and do whatever it takes without going into any compromises with my other half. I'm not going into a deep detail of a special effects but for what it's worth I can say that they were quite decent and they haven't spoiled the movie. When things were happening you are kept on the edge of the chair and that is important. All in all I can easily say that this film is the best horror film of 2009 and I'm pretty sure that it will give you chills if you are watching this movie alone in the dark without any interruptions.
