Great movie

Rating: Null/10 (23 October 2000)

This is one of the most creepy movies I have seen in a long time. While many aspects of the movie are not up to what we're used to from Hollywood, I don't think that it matters, because we're supposed to believe that the film was made by 3 (very) amateur film makers. In fact, all the equipment was rented.
As for the acting, the 3 kids are supposed to be acting like, well, 3 ordinary gen x-ers who slip gradually into a world of madness that up until the very end they can't and won't accept as real. I believe they hit the mark.
We all have local "witch" stories or have found ourselves in a situation that scares the he** out of us - in this film we get to witness this process.
The MOST creepy scenes involved the sounds the group heard at night from the woods. I watched it several times and was creeped out by these scenes.
I hope that we get to see more films where the emphasis is more on classic scare tactics that the more modern blood-fest we're used to.
9/10
