Over-hyped

Rating: 3/10 (14 August 1999)

Look, I know that as a college student and film fan I'm supposed to prattle on that this was the coolest, scariest film ever. Well, it's not. The idea behind it is great, the execution is decent, but when it all comes to an end I had to agree with the rest of the audience I saw it with: "You mean, that's it??" The ending didn't leave you hanging, it just left you. This was the first film I ever saw where the whole audience responded at the end with a collective "You've gotta be kidding me, what the heck was that?" Plenty of people have said it scared them away from camping, all it did for me was make me a little nauseated (The Blair Sick Project strikes again) and wish I still had the money I paid to see it. Maybe I won't go camping in places I've heard witch stories about now, but I doubt I would have before. You'll most likely go see it anyway, but I honestly don't know why.
