spooked me out

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 1999)

After all the anticlimactic hype about Blair Witch, here's a top-drawer exercise in film making which I find very hard to fault. In fact, the only thing which upset my enjoyment was the person sitting next to me in the cinema, who on several occasions screamed very loudly.
Anyway, putting my neighbour's reaction down as both a critical "thumbs up" on her part and a new form of personal surround-sound for me, there is little more to say than to recommend it. Great plot, well filmed, apposite music, solid acting - enthralling and a genuinely spooky "chiller" to boot. And where did they get the child actor from? amazing stuff from him - I just hope he recovers from the experience!
