Totally Blair Witch rip-off - unbelievable that this is getting such good reviews

Rating: 2/10 (2 November 2009)

For a movie made on a budget of $11,000, this is a decent production. Not a bad movie for a high-school film project. But for a major wide-release, this is a complete piece of junk.
Blair Witch Project was original, and also made on a similar budget. It was original. They relied on grass-roots marketing, along with one of the first Internet "hoax" websites for a movie.
This movie follows along the exact same lines, except it is shot entirely inside a house, mostly in a bedroom. Yes, there are a few scary moments. But the long spans of pointless dialog and characters (yes, the "friend" doesn't add anything, and the paranormal expert really detracts from the movie) make for a less-than-exciting experience. Couple that with terribly jerky camera motion and I have to say I was quite relieved when it is was over; thankfully it is a very short film.
I can only hypothesize that this movie is getting great reviews from young audience members who do not remember the Blair Witch Project. But I assure you that BWP was MUCH more enjoyable, much more interesting, much scarier, and much more original.
Save your $s and just rent Blair Witch if you are younger and want to experience a really scary movie that is "realistic".
