Lost in the woods

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 2006)

If you were around when this actually showed up in the theaters it was a strange sight. It was un-watched for about 2 weeks then someone spread the rumor that is was a true story of amateur film students who found a real witch. All of a sudden people started watching it.
I think it is one of the first movies to become famous via internet. Of course there are a lot of "film students" who love the idea of this movie that gives them hope of one day duping the public in the same way and making some money for a crappy film.
In reality it was not a true story, because even really stupid people could not do the moronic things these "educated college students" did. But it was different, full of amateur acting and amateur shooting, and writing so bad I wonder if a script even existed. The story moved way too slow, and did not have enough clarity to keep you in suspense. But the worst part about this was the filming, the camera hoping up and down is almost enough to make you sea sick.
Really what kind of idiots go investigate a "witch" with NO GPS, NO real Map or compass. Oh and no phone or emergency radio?...geez.
This is one of those rare things like Pet Rocks that gets unexpectedly hyped up, reaches a point that everyone says hey I got to see that. Then they go watch it and say to themselves "wow that was a waste" But then they are afraid to say how lousy it was because they will seem un-cool.
All I remember is the Hundreds of copies of this movie for sale at $1 each and still nobody buying them.
