Boo!

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2001)

I originally saw this movie during a visit in the US and at the time quite enjoyed it. Of course a lot of hype was surrounding this movie, but if the audience member is willing to suspend disbelief and allow him- or herself to be taken by the hand by our three starting moviemakers, he/she will experience a spooky evening, that long afterwards will be remembered. It's a refreshing movie in a genre that according to some, to which I include myself, was walking on its last legs.
Negative publicity surrounding this movie was often aimed at the amateuristic filming, but to the viewer that enters the cinema open minded this only increases the sense of realism.
Of course, planning any outings involving hiking in woods immediately after seeing this movie I'd discourage, but that's just wimpy old me.
