Horror Hits Home

Rating: 8/10 (4 October 2009)

Saw this Friday night in a sold out theater and have to say the fear effect that this film produces is truly astounding. As someone who loves horror but has not found anything in the genre scary since Blair Witch (before it became a phenomenon), I have not been able to stop thinking about several scenes in this movie and just how effectively scary the overall film was. I have to dock 2 points because the film was overlong by about 15 minutes and could have greatly benefited from some editing in the first half of the production.
Having said that, if you were frightened by Blair Witch (this movie is truly a spiritual successor)and don't need violence and gore or cgi to keep you interested check this film out. Just be prepared for it to haunt your dreams...
