Amazing & creative

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2015)

Saw this when I was 14 when it came out and it literally scarred me for life. I remember it haunted me for the whole night after I saw it, and it took a LOT of maturity to be able to enjoy our family cabin again, especially at night.
I just watched it again as a31 year old woman, and it is still terrifying. It was weirdly nostalgic for me to see some of the scenes at the end-the bloody tongue, the kids running through the night, etc. heather's screams at the very end are absolutely bone chilling.
I think it's wonderfully creative. The gradual build up from the documentary intro was brilliant. Also, just remember with all the "found footage" horror now coming out, THIS was the first one. No one had ever seen anything like it. The ONLY thing that could've made it slightly better, and I really hate to say that bc I honestly loved it, is if they made the characters a little more sympathetic. Everything else was completely legit.
I think a lot of times people think they sound cool and smart bc they don't like something, and those people kinda suck.
