Probably the scariest movie I've ever seen....

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 1999)

I finally got to see this movie last night, and Oh my God....I was freaked out. The movie goes beyond the traditional jump every 5 minutes. It scares you in not showing you what's in the dark. I felt myself slowly getting more and more frightened during the duration of this movie. As the characters slowly began to lose it, I felt myself losing it with them. This movie definitely scares you with its subtlety: the noises heard in the distance, the cackling, the cries for help. The darkness carries the movie's fear factor. I felt myself holding my breath at several parts. My girlfriend's fingernails dug into my hand at some parts--mainly the end. The end is truly disturbing. The image will remain with you. I was definitely spooked, disturbed, frightened......I'll tell you what: It'll be a while before I go hiking in the woods again.
