wake me up when its finished

Rating: 5/10 (29 August 2000)

i went into this film thinking, that the ametuer camera work would give this film a new edge, and create a scary movie. i was wrong.
okay, i admitt, the way it was shot and acted did make it seem real life. but what everybody is forgetting is that real life is borring that is why films are made as they are. this film was like watching a home movie of one of your early christmases. the first ten minutes is great but after a while it becomes long winded and you start fast forwarding it to other parts.
the film had a brillant idea behind it, which unfortunity did not pull off. no fault to the directors who had a great attempt. 5 out of 10
