Slightly Above Average

Rating: 6/10 (5 December 2006)

Great for a movie on the cheap. Pretty weak for a "scary movie".
I got really tired of each morning when I knew all they were gonna do is yell and shout and cry. I couldn't wait for it to become dark so they could get eaten or whatever. But nooooo they had to keep waking up.
Maybe those little wooden things were offerings or little gifts like a cat brings home! Maybe the witch just wanted to play with the video cameras.
You have to admire the tension created which forced you to watch til the end. But I admit I only watched to see the thing at the end. No such luck.
The freakiest thing they could do was have the dude stand in the corner like a naughty boy. Not bad, but not really freaky. Its not like turning a corner on your big wheel and seeing a couple twins standing in the hall.
I couldn't give it a 5 because it did force me to watch to the end, and that's something. When I think of the "day shots" I wanna give it a 2. The stick figures really weren't very scary.
I would think apathy would set in at some point when the thing continually torments you every night when it could just make you go thump. And if the witch wants folks blood, why wasn't there some yummie slurpy sounds when she made one go thump? Anyhow, good job shooting a feature film in 2 days out in the woods. Good job finding that one melodramatic actress who can Snot on Cue! Thats a rare find indeed.
