It's like watching a plant grow...boring (SPOILER ALERT)

Rating: 1/10 (28 October 2009)

***SPOILER ALERT*** I too fell prey to the hype that surrounded this movie and watched it by myself, thinking I was going to be "too scared to sleep" afterward. The only thing scary about it was how boring and annoying it really was, and I'm very easily scared at movies.
The characters are annoying and didn't elicit any sympathy from me whatsoever. The boyfriend's macho posturings and yelling at the entity was ridiculous beyond belief and the girlfriend's continually saying, "I'm so scared," was stupid.
The story was watch them sleep, cut to day and watch them discuss what they recorded the night before. Repetition ad nauseum. It was like watching Groundhog Day with a spooky twist, but badly done. Apparently there are several alternate endings and I saw one of the alternatives, where she's shot by the police at the end. It really didn't matter, nothing could save it by then.
It's beyond belief that anyone could be scared enough watching this to walk out of a theater.
Though I love paranormal subject matter, I wish I wouldn't have bothered with this one. Do yourself a favor, save your time and money. I've been more scared hearing a tree scratch against my window. Kudos to the filmmaker for a boring, amateurish, yet incredibly lucrative film. In my opinion, it's a huge rip-off.
