What's with all the derison? WARNING SPOILERS!

Rating: Null/10 (1 October 2001)

If ever there is a perfect example of backlash it is the later reaction to this movie. After the initial buzz this film was blasted continually. To me it is a testement to the phonemonm of jumping on the berating bandwagon because this is, simply, a damn good movie and a scary one too. Yes you have to put aside the unlikely choice that the terrified trio would continue to film in such a situation, but it is a small suspension of reality to capitulate to considering that the premise of the film ("reality" horror, caught on video tape) is a brillant one. Add to the concept the fact that the filmakers understood that we are more scared by what we don't see and you have an unforgetable experience in horror.
