This is another 'docufright' yawn inducer

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2009)

So this movie is so scary people were fainting in the cinemas? WHY? is the only question I can think to ask. The only scary part for me was when they found the huge spider in the bathroom; being an arachnophobic I had to look away. However beyond that I found it to be about as frightening as cute puppies playing with fluffy kittens.
A few times I nearly nodded off I was so bored; all the while though I fought to stay awake with the fervent belief that it would get better soon.......it did; when the end credits started rolling.
The 'Blair Witch Project' wasn't scary; 'Cloverfield' wasn't even scary. The only remotely chilling 'docufright' movie I've seen that was a bit hair raising was 'Rec' - if you can't recreate the mounting paranoia, isolation and desperation that that movie had then please DON'T BOTHER trying!! STOP forcing these boring 'docufright' movies on us, when they're anything BUT frightening.
A woman dripping snot is not scary - gross, but not chilling; a woman standing in the middle of her bedroom for two hours watching her boyfriend sleep (even on fast forward) is not scary - even if it is, bizarrely, meant to show she's possessed.
Even a 'self' moving Ouija board plentel is not going to shock anyone when the stop motion used was so obvious; burning it isn't scary either when you can clearly see an accelerator was used to ignite it. I mean surely a demon of all things can set things on fire without using lighter fluid?
Micah was an idiot that just made me want to slap him; and Katie's piercing screaming made me fear for her throat. I wondered at how she hadn't lost her voice half the time.
DON'T bother if you haven't seen this movie already - the only demon involved is the studio who made this tripe, and stole your money when you actually paid to see it. I wouldn't watch it again; in fact I'm wondering about suing to see if I can get compensation for the 86 minutes this has stolen from my life.
If you truly want a movie like this that DOES deliver on the spine chillers then rent 'Rec'; at least that film had an inkling on how to make a REAL 'docufright' movie.
