Scary, realistic, brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2003)

This is definitely one of the scariest films I have ever seen. And all the stories surrounding it about being real life just added to the horror.
***MINOR SPOILERS***
The first time I saw this film I was watching it with a blanket up around my chin - and during the bit where 'something' was banging on their tent the blanket was in my mouth. My heart was beating like crazy. I was terrified! I was just thanking God that I didn't live near any woods.
Everything surrounding this film was fantastic - three unknown actors, shot documentary style, low budget, and the stories surfacing on the internet just made everyone believe what they were seeing, and therefore, be more scared. And it worked. By the time it got to the end, I just had to watch a not-so-scary film just to keep myself sane.
