You demanded it

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2009)

The only thing I demand about this is my money back.
Simply put, this movie, if you can call it that, is flat out terrible. I put it up there with Cabin Fever. So, if you liked Cabin Fever, by all means go see this. If you liked Cabin Fever, you like anything.
I'm sorry I missed this at the festival. I would have warned everyone sooner.
This is what I call the Blair Witch Cookie Cutter method of film production and distribution.
1. Make a video or film with all shaky grainy hand-held shots to look homemade. You can even save on proper lighting.
2. Have it loosely based on some mysterious subject.
3. Spend a lot of time and money on Internet marketing trying to get the "idea" of the movie viral. Aim this marketing at younger people. Social networking sites are a good place to start.
4. Market the movie like "everyone" wants to see it (which, by the way, was one of Barnum's idea's.)
5. Hope that you get a huge initial release box office take and then be happy with at least a 50% drop each subsequent week.
6. Come out with the movie in October and then try to cash in quickly with a December DVD release to get the people who didn't see it to buy it before everyone totally forgets about it.
That's it. This movie did it's primary job. It made the studio a quick buck. But it fails terribly at being entertainment.
Even if you somehow found the movie mildly amusing, are you EVER going to watch it again? How many people watched Blair Witch Project twice?
