Marketing: 10, Suspense:6, Horror: 0

Rating: 5/10 (28 October 2009)

Read Andrew (ash2)comments first, as this was one of the highest views. I give all credit to the marketing genius of this movie, by getting us to want to demand this film in our theaters. I give it slightly better than mediocrity in suspense, vis a vis Hitchcock, as so many others have compared. I agreed that the imagination and anticipation here alone makes this a fun movie. However, it ends there. No horror whatsoever. I will sleep very well tonight, thank you. Hearing a lot of other movie-goers leave the theater makes me confident that most agree with me here. Blair Witch was a better film, but I think there should be many more of this type. Had this been a big-budget film, it would have NONE of the suspense as the demand for special effects would have ultimately ruined what otherwise was an excellent concept. Nice acting despite some flaws in the plot, i.e., in real-life, I would have been outta that house midway through the movie.
