Just as crappy as expected

Rating: 3/10 (25 December 2011)

I know that the hype about this film is long gone by now, but the ratings is still way too high in many papers imo. Since it came out, i've had no intention of seeing this, even though i knew it to be inevitable. So in the end my sister bought it for me as a Christmas- present, how nice....
Anyway we saw it later the same night, and even though people had promised me that this was the scariest film they had ever seen and so on.... it wasn't scary. it just wasn't scary. AT ALL. I was waiting for the "plot" to build up, which btw. is a way too slow process for ANY film, mockumentary, horror-movie or whatever. Boring all the way. I'm really quite flexible when it comes to what type of film i like to see. I can see the shocky kind of horror movie, the more "moody" kind, i even like Pretty Woman for Christ's sake. The problem here is, it's not that shocky, to me that is. And it's not that moody. It's just slow, and the main characters are a couple of stereotype annoying Americans. Micah is a total douche-bag, not respecting his girlfriends feelings. And she's just too overbearing with him. Anyhow, this is the kind of films that split the audience in two. Either you get shocked and it's realistic attempt works on you, or it just falls flat. With me, the latter was the case.
