i don’t think if this movie is real enough to scary me..?

honestly when i watched the movie with my sister i’m tired on watching it at first but in the end i don’t know what to think when i saw a girl holding a knife with blooded shirt, and her guy didn’t come back after fetching his girl down stair. and the most scary thing is when the girl sat beside the bed at 19 hours before the police come to shot the girl.

what happened to the guy?..

This review is very well written, regardless of your viewpointon the film. I fall into the group who thought this film lacked everything but light, sound and celluloid. I am heartened though to see that in the era of been-there seen-that there are still so many people who have neither seen much, nor thought critically about what they have seen. Next up, Tyra : The Movie!

First of all, everyone should know that this movie is basically a psychological thriller with horror elements. Everything that I have heard from people in person or read on-line indicates a completely split decision between two parties: Namely, those who thought the movie was the scariest thing they’ve seen in their lives and those who believed the movie to be a total flop.

I saw the movie yesterday and determined the common division between these two very different positions. This division is linked to the first half or maybe even three-quarters of the movie being build-up. In a way, this is a brilliant move by the director, Oren Peli, but it is a move that can only work if the action after the build-up is sufficient to actually frighten the viewer.

Clearly, in about half of the cases it was, and it was not in the other half. It was certainly not for me.

The reason that I think most critics were so impressed with it is because they only watched it due to the hype. In other words, I doubt if the critics, themselves, even really watch any movies in the horror genre and just assign one star or two stars based on whoever is in it. If critics had really been following the evolution of the genre over the last fifteen years, the subtlety of this movie may have been enough to interest, but not to impress.

I went to see this movie tonight and a lone. I did not get afraid even one time. I would not even call it a horror. A horror is like Friday the 13th. However, I found it interesting and would not say not to go. Don’t expect to see anything like Friday the 13th so on. I have no idea why they say this is the best horror of the year. It was not a horror at all. Just people that had a bad thing in their house that scared them but really nothing to make anyone jump or scream when I was there. It was full to. I will tell you, the ending was disappointing, reason, one of those scenes that do not appear to be the end of the movie.It was very quit in the thearter and it was actually funny when one guy at the end said: Are You f***ing kidding me. Like what type of ending is that. The entire place laughed.

I agree. This movie was not believable or very scary. The hype for this movie is being overdone. It does not even make my top ten scariest movie list. What a let down. I feel like I have wasted my money. I though Blair Witch was good but not great, and Blair Witch was much better than this one. To much of this was not real enough. Their house was to clean throught out the movie. Their income and jobs not very beleiveable. The acting got worse as the movie went on. I thought the acting was believeable and ok at the start of the film. I recommend waiting for this one on DVD release.

I also have to disagree with this review. I just watched this movie tonight, and am still deeply disturbed by it hours later.

I will say that I think some people are a little more sensitive to certain topics/areas when it comes to getting scared, and I happen to be sensitive to ghost/demon type stuff… so that could be why I had a strong reaction to both this movie, as well as Blair Witch when I first saw it.

I think the movie was well-done, I don’t think the acting was bad either.

We could not disagree more. We felt this was wonderfully chilling and entertaining, and this film has managed to really knock the “found footage” horror concept out of the park.

Blair Witch was the very first experience of its kind, and it can never be pulled off again (I was one of the many who fell hook/line/sinker for the ad campaign back in 99). If this film were in place of BWP back then, I would surely still have difficulty sleeping at night.

The scares are simple, and permit the audiences own imaginations to fill in much of the blanks, which, for me, is far more terrifying than shoving gore down my throat.

I have to say, the assertion regarding being “duped” is honestly a little insulting. I feel that we got every penny’s worth on this film. In truth, audiences are being duped on a near weekly basis by most of the explosive dreck hitting the screen as a “blockbuster”…this is definitely not one of those experiences.
