Scary but....

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2009)

Yes this movie is scary and creepy and anyone who says it is not watched the movie with his/her eyes closed. The acting was very good and captured the realistic dialogue that is missing from many horror movies and movies in general (of course with the exception of Tarintino). My only complaint is that the movie spans 20 days. No person in his/her right mind after witnessing all that was captured on video, especially an Ouija board catching on fire to burn a message on it, would ever stay in the house even if the demon would follow. Sure you can explain doors closing and bangs in the middle of the night, but after watching the video and seeing foot steps appear out of nowhere, you do not even go to a church? I would show that video to every priest, rabbi, Buddhist monk, paranormal university professor (well, you get the idea) I could find until somebody would listen. Sure nowadays you can create a very "real" looking fake video with your MAC at home, but I would keep showing it until some listened. I know what you are thinking: If they left the house and went to a church the movie would be pointless. That is a valid point; however, the movie would have been more effective if took place over, say, 5 days before the reality of what was happening took hold. You can fool your mind for 3 to 5 days, but after 20? After seeing all that on video? I personally would be freaking the out. I do not care how nice your girlfriends breast are, any guy would be out of there. At least take her to a hospital to look at the bite mark. It the Blair Witch, they could not escape the woods. Katie doesn't even call her parents. Anyway, it was entertaining and I enjoyed it. Try not to see this movie with a young crowd (i.e. late Friday or Saturday night). Most of the audience members in my viewing were teenagers and they totally took me out of the film by talking, yelling, trying to scare their friends, and just being silly. It is a natural way to deal with fear but it is still annoying. Also, do not see it alone, if you dare..
