NOT scary & NOT original

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 1999)

I registered with IMDb purposely just to trash this film. I have never felt a movie so undeserving of praise than this one. I see no point as to why it was made or why people like it. If you liked it, good for you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I however did not.
I take offense to the suggestion that people who don't like this movie are somehow less intelligent or imaginative than those who did. I guess it takes more to spark my imagination than a carefully-constructed hype campaign and the inability to make the audience suspend disbelief. I fully wanted and expected to be scared and be swept away into the story. Alas, there was nothing to be scared of, and no story: only 3 kids screaming obsenities at each other. At no time did these characters make me think they were real. To anyone who thought this was a real documentary for a microsecond, I truly feel sorry for you. Never have I believed more strongly than now that film critics are just a bunch of group-think cretins, who use their pony-tails as antennas for the brain police to download ideas into their empty heads. The critical response to this failure proves it.
I was going to give this film points for originality, but these charlatans of the cinema, Sanchez and Myrick, ripped off the concept itself from "The Last Broadcast." I should have known...
