Frightening to every normal human being

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2011)

I must say it's amazing the huge number of negative reviews to this movie. They call it "ridiculous", "poorly realized", "not frightening", stuff like that. Well, I've got a challenge for all those extremely "wise" and "all-experienced-in-horror-movies-and-cinema-making" people. Why don't you all try go camping into the woods with your friends and watch this movie? Let's just see if in the end of the night you come here to IMDb bash on it and call it pathetic again? I highly doubt it because if you survive to that experience (like I did) without having a heart attack it will already be good.
The movie is good, it gets you involved! Every second feels like you're part of the story. And people complain about irritating and hysterical characters? For Christ sake, they got lost on the woods and were being haunted, of course they were loosing it! I am an experienced backpacker myself and believe me, you wouldn't want to get lost in the woods, much less hear and see strange things! I remember once when me and my buddies were camping and started to hear some weird noises and everybody was getting crazy ... So the movie is perfect under that point of view. Under such circumstances, everybody would loose control.
I think that people complaining about this are used to mega productions with super acting and directing technics and that kind of stuff. Under that prism, of course it is a very bad movie. The thing is, this flick was made to feel like it was a real thing happening to normal people and to put you on their eyes. That's the extraordinary thing of it and that's why it is so different of all the other movies! Every reaction seems like a reaction a normal person would take if it was on the same situation! Under that perspective, it was perfect.
Conclusion: If you are expecting a super movie filled with great looking actors, a fabulous story line, Hollywood filming technics and that sort off stuff, don't see it, pop on your DVD anything of that Hollywood Zombie thrash that there is everywhere. On the other hand, if you are looking to get a huge thrill and to live a frightening episode like it was happening to you, then gather some friends on a country house and turn off the lights, believe me ... You. Will. Get. Scared!
