Worst Horror Movie I have ever seen -- not worthy of film school.

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2009)

Okay, well, you don't have to worry that I'm going to spoil this one for you. Almost nothing happens, so there's nothing to spoil. Truly, this is the worst horror movie I have ever seen which is saying a lot. The pseudo cinema-verite style -- so effective in Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield -- only underscores the lack of any real plot or believable leads. The schoolteacher here behaves like a stereotypical schoolteacher, the day trader like a day trader, right to the end -- nothing normal or paranormal puts some flesh on their shallow characterizations. Even the supposed entity was a cipher -- no face, no form, no motivation. The "action" crawls and creaks along so slowly that you actually keep on forgiving it because it has to be building up to one enormous scare, or something. But no payoff, just a mere bit of mild unpleasantness. I'm afraid -- NOT.
