A solid horror movie with a creepy atmosphere

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2014)

This movie was deeply unsettling.Now before I go any further, just know that this isn't a great movie. It's full of clichés and it isn't very original. I'm not going to pretend like it's a masterpiece, because its not. While it is unoriginal and clichéd, it makes up for it with, good acting (namely Ethan Hawke), a very tense atmosphere, and creepy imagery. The sequences of Ethan Hawke watching the Super 8 films really did get to me and I had a strong urge to look away. For about a week after I watched it, I would freak myself out by thinking about this movie and I wasn't thinking about it on purpose. For a modern horror movie it really isn't that bad (despite some problems) and if you're looking for something to creep you out, try this movie.
