Disappointed by the OverHype; Stop Reading and go to this movie without knowing too much

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 1999)

This film was an engaging and creepy take on a unique approach to storytelling. Set-up a scary situation, and let the audience interpret. Tell me this, does anyone remember a movie with more black screen (sound-only) that you paid undeterred attention to? However, I went in anticipating throat-tightening fear, I experienced a few chills. BLAME IT ON THE HYPE MACHINE!!! IF YOU HAVE OT SEEN THIS MOVIE, STOP READING ANY OF THIS. Just go see the movie, you'll have a more chilling experience. I will say the finale creeped me out...in a big way. But, only because I had previously seen the "Sci.-Fi." Channel Mockumentary. That was super-creepy. My recpmmendation to the viewing audience, watch this documentary on Sci-Fi., THEN go see the movie. Talk about setting up a scary, scary premise. I lived in Maryland for five years, and those backwoods offer enough interesting locals to scare you nonetheless a Witch. My anticipation is the D.V.D. will include/assimilate the Sci.-Fi. documentary...then watch. After that documentary, my skin crawled...then I read too much about this movie. It definitely took away from the experience.
