Shocking

Rating: 1/10 (2 December 2009)

I probably would have appreciated this film a whole lot more if I had watched it before I watched Paranormal Activity, this is so poorly made in comparison. The scene at the end is the only bit that's even vaguely scary (and I scare easily, Coraline was pretty scary for me).
I think it would have been a whole lot more tense if I had more sympathy for the characters, but I just found them annoying, though this is more the result of a bad script than the actors fault, they did a pretty good job with what they were given. I think the real issue for me was that I just couldn't get into the story, I mean how can you get THAT lost when you have a map and compass. They walked for 15 hours and ended up where they started, how is that possible when you have a compass? They even decided to walk in a set direction, SOUTH, surely to end up in the same place there would have had to have been a point where they were looking at the compass and it was pointing NORTH usually a good indication your walking THE WRONG WAY.
I have two flat mates in their first semester of a media and broadcasting degree and in all honesty I've seen them produce more plausible, better edited material than this. For the last 20 minutes I couldn't wait for it to end.
