The Film that launched one of the worst trends in filmmaking

Rating: 1/10 (29 September 2012)

This is one of the most awful overrated, over touted, and waste of a viewers time ever made. The only credit I give to this movie is that it actually fooled a lot of people into thinking it was a true story and it launched the worst trend ever in the industry now known as the "Found footage" movie or what I call it: "The new excuse to make a really bad movie" trend.
This movie is not scary at all. I felt like a genius when I waited for this to come out on DVD, because as I expected, it was horrible. I do say that at the time it was a genius idea and it was something new. It is one of those ideas that should have just stayed that, an idea.
I can't believe people got conned into this crap. The acting was poor, it was basically shot as a home movie. Do you enjoy when your friends break out the family vacation videos? No, I didn't think so. So why do I want to watch a movie that is about the same thing.
Was it scary...not even close. I have seen Disney cartoons that are scarier than this. If fact this movie was credited for making movie goers sick because of the bouncing around poor quality photography.
If you want to see scary home video's go down to the local Walmart and ask to see their security tapes, they are bound to be more interesting and far more nightmarish then this heap of dung.
