Petrifyingly Clever

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2002)

I watched this movie in the front row of the cinema, possibly making it all the more scary for me. I was sucked right into this desperate situation which left me feeling completely helpless and confused. What and where is the enemy? I think the most intriguing aspect of this picture was the marketing. As soon as I read the poster - 'Three students went into the woods and never returned, and now their video has been found' (or words to that effect) - I had an urge to watch this film. It never implies once it's fictional, and the style it was shot backs this up, and that for me makes this movie what it is - pant soilingly scary.
