Darn that theory/reality dichotomy!

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2001)

In theory, this would have made a great film. The theory was no actual script because the entire story is explained in the first frame you see, have no stars playing the roles, and that the viewer watches "actual footage" of the blow-by-blow events of these people who were investigating the local folklore.
In reality, it didn't work. There's nothing really scary that happens except maybe for being lost in the woods, unfortunately no one gave the "Rodney King Treatment" to the guy who tossed the map after getting lost (which was well deserved), and, all in all, paying a single dime to see this is as much a rip-off as paying anyone to watch the video of their kid's birthday party on the RCA Handi-cam.
Fortunately, I got to see the movie for free since I UNfortunately worked in a video store at the time (see also my tirade in my "Clerks" review).
