Well, I going to have nightmares for a month, that's for sure...

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2009)

I am 24 years old and I have seen a lot of scary movies in the hope of finding one that would scare me a little. I have to tell you that it takes a lot to scare me. People say "the Exorcist" is scary. I saw it and I agree that it's good movie. It has it's moments here and there. But not scary enough to shake me out. Then I heard that "Others" is scary too. I saw that movie and, well, it has an interesting ending which build up the suspense. But, definitely not scary. Then people said "Drag Me To Hell" was scary. Unfortunately, it was funny and I laughed throughout the movie. Then people said "The Descent" is good. I would agree that it somehow achieved in scaring me a little but, not too scary.
Now, to this movie. I have been waiting to see this movie for sometime since it hit the theaters. I have never heard about this one in the past. I heard this movie came out 2 years ago. Last night I got the chance to see this movie. The movie started, everything was going on fine. After 20-30 minutes the movie really started to dig in. A damn f*****g scary movie. Very creepy and freaky. I'll never forget this movie in my life ever. I can literally hear my heart thumping for scene after scene. Half-way through it, part of my mind was going like this, "okay man, enough of this movie. Just shut the damn movie off and get to bed. You are frightened enough already. You don't want to have nightmares in your life." The other part of my mind was going like this, "You are f****d up, man. You are frightened already. It's too late to get out of it. You are going to have nightmares anyway. No matter whenever you turn off the movie it's gonna make no difference. Just get it over it. Like all other scary movies it has a positive ending, like good vs. evil and good wind.". But, the shocking ending shook me to the core. After the movie was over i didn't move a muscle for 3 whole minutes. That scary. With those five characters alone and at a very low budget this movie was made.
I am impressed. frightened. Very much. I accept I am a chicken. From now onwards, for some days or even weeks I won't be able to stay in total darkness with my mind buzzing not knowing what's in front of me nor behind me. But I am impressed with the movie. The fact that not a lot of background music was used in the movie made it so natural. I felt like I was in that room. I could the tension. Add to that the simple cam-coder made this movie even more eerie and scarier.
Just remember, if you are looking for a fun simple horror movie, don't see this. You'll be pissing in your pants. You will be scared. frightened and horrified. Make no mistake about. Those who think they are tough and can't be scared, you need to take look into this. I guarantee you that you'll become a chicken by the end of the movie. Anybody who says that this movie is not scary, don't listen to them. They are either lying or trying to scare the hell out of you.
This movie is not for the weak of heart. Try watching this movie alone at night. Better watch it with someone to be safe. I read online that after viewing this movie, Steven Spielberg thought the DVD given to him was haunted and brought it back to the studio in the garbage bag. Just think how scary it would have been.
I hear they are going to make a sequel. If you ask me, no sequel is needed for this movie. It would drastically ruin it's reputation. I bet my life that if they go with it they add lots of special effects and background music which is so unoriginal. I don't need them to turn a brilliant movie into a joke by making a sequel.
Just leave this movie alone. It's scary, creepy, freaky, horrifying and brilliant this way. We don't need a sequel nor a re-make for that matter nor a prequel.
Just let it be.
