A good film, it frightened me the second time more than the first

Rating: 4/10 (12 July 2010)

Well, thinking that this film was going to be like Blair Witch (a film I hated so much I walked out of) I was hesitant to waste my time watching it. However, a horror/thriller friend of mine convinced me that it was FAR better than Blair Witch. Well, I finally relented and purchased (actually my partner did) it and watched it with him. I was nicely surprised by it. I thought the acting from the two main characters was pretty good really, although I thought the script a little lame, but in fairness it wasn't really bad (like Blair Witch).
Without giving anything away, let me just say that it works as a film dealing with a subject I just don't believe in. There were two points of the film (one involving talcum powder and the other a bite mark) that I really thought were the low points.
For me, it's a film to watch in complete darkness (at night) and cuddled on your sofa for safety. Brilliant - loved it a lot.
The second time I watched it, I was alone (bad mistake) as it scared the sh.it out of me more. So much so I turned all the lights on in the house and watched Simpsons episodes on cable to settle my nerves.
