Overhyped and not that great

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 1999)

Whilst this film is unquestionably scary and convincingly acted, it lacks any substance and is very uncomfortably cut off at the end. Nothing is done to bring the viewer "back down" afterwards, and this left me feeling that I'd been used... The cinematography was appalling, with continuously shaking pictures that left me feeling utterly nauseous throughout the film, and well after it ended. I'll be watching for the convincing actors in future films, but equally I'll be watching out for films directed and written by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez in the future, and consciously avoiding them.
