Has anyone seen this movie? It's supposed to be the scariest movie since the Blair Witch Project. The director completed the movie in his own house within like 7 days, so it's a pretty remarkable achievement.

Its highly overrated.

Blair Witch wasn't that scary. The best thing about Blair Witch was only because it was something fresh and unique at the time.

Still I've heard nothing about this film.
Blyaunte
Rotten Tomatoes rates it at 86% -- it looks good.

Trailer
Twist of Fate
Saw it twice. Even if you don't get scared easily, this movie does have an effect on different people. I think the reason it's so scary to some is because it's so real.

It's filmed like Cloverfield, through a camera the whole time, but it's not as bad as some people say Cloverfield was. This is filmed without the shaky camera thing and it's just so real, I have to admit.

No dumb Hollywood effects, it's really a movie you can get into and feel the emotions the only two actual characters feel. I definitely recommend it.

I was just listening in on Rotten Tomatoes' podcast -- apparently the film was made on a budget of only $15k.

And they've made millions even before worldwide release.

Blair Witch wasn't scary at all. In fact, Blair Witch was pretty bad. But that's another topic.

I really have no interest in seeing this if it's another one of those documentary style, handcam movies.

i've seen it in theathers, than it ain't scary ; watch it at home alone or with a few friends and you wont sleep for days xd
Twist of Fate
^ True in some ways. In the theater, the people's reactions just ruin it. I saw it twice and people just kept talking back to the screen/overreacting/fake screaming. Although the theater does provide a more real experience, especially if you see it alone.

At home, if it's just you and the TV, no lights, it can definitely scare you. If you can somehow get that movie theater thrill, that is.

it's a thousand times better than the blair witch project in my opinion. i was in suspense for the majority of the film, really loved it
3volution
The Blair Witch project freakin sucked. I watched it alone in a Dark Room at 3 in the morning while eating Cheese and didn't get scared once.
know it all nerd
Blair witch project= Not scary.

I may see this movie when it comes out on dvd and I rent it.

The scariest movie since the Blair Witch Project is Mamma Mia.

I'm going to do that just now.

Anyways, I watched the first 15-20 minutes of this film, noticed it was totally S*** and turned it off. Is it worth watching the rest? (I get bored pretty easy)
Lidias
How did you turn it off?

Anyway i saw it and while i was dissapointed, it wasn't horrible. I'd say if you haven't seen it yet, rent it and watch it alone in the dark or with some friends in the dark. It would be scarier then.
Gives You Hell
I thought it was pretty funny. I'd watch it again.

Well, I pressed the stop button. Had it downloaded.

Anways, I tried watching it again. About half an hour in, the most intense action occured. The door swung back and forth. I turned it off again. Too boring.

This stupid movie was a waste of money. I didn't even jump. =/

Saw it last night. Wasn't even scary.


But, were did the events actually happen or what?
D-Jizzy
On my lunch date the girl I'm into was talking about it. She saw it over the weekend. She thought it was okay but the ending was crap.

I don't really care for scare flicks, so...

Agreed. Plus I've heard a lot of crap about this movie.

I saw it on Halloween at about 1 AM. Normally, horror movies don't scare me AT ALL, but this had a pretty real effect to it, which is why it actually scared me.

Hah, for the first good and made me think. Half hour of trying to sleep I was thinking "Well... it IS Halloween..."

Also, what's up with the movie apparently having different endings depending on where you watched it?

Spoiler: Click to Toggle the Spoiler.
I personally heard of two endings, one where she goes upstairs after killing Micah, sitting down at the side of her bed and rocking back and fourth for a good two days ago, then ended up getting shot by police after she got up holding the knife, and the other ending which was her picking up Micah and throwing him at the camera and dialog came up saying she disappeared.

I personally think the first ending I saw was more awesome since it gave a sense of closure.

I didn't see the first ending, just the second. It was a really stupid movie... It was as if The Exorcist and The Blair Witch Project had a retard baby.

I give you points for worthwhile criticism and beautiful metaphor.

The gf-to-be only saw the "okay" ending and she didn't like it. The only thing she really liked, she's telling me now (lolfacebook, holy crap did you really think I was using the web with her in the room? No fudgin' way bro) is the part where one of her friends' dates scared her friend and had the whole row in front of them (other students from our school, it turned out) laughing. She also almost spilled her drink all over everyone.

That does sound funny.

But seriously though, the plot seemed to reachy at some points. I don't know about you all, but if my girlfriend/wife is 1)posessed and 2)standing over me for HOURS while I'm asleep, I'm not going to be in the same house with her until she gets all of that shizzle sorted out. Not wanting to "anger the demon" is not a good enough reason for me to endanger my life.

I personally thought it was a pretty good movie but the ending pissed me off. slanty.gif
Lord Earth
What they really should have done with the girl is the same as they did during The Exorcist; Tie her down so nothing can happen. I'd seriously do that after the point she got dragged out of the room. tongue.gif

That's just ridiculous. I agree. Who in their right mind...

This is coming out in the UK soon.

Looks pretty good, can people who seen it tell me if it's worth it? Scary?

D-Jizzy
gf-to-be says scary but somehow disappointing. English class concurs.

That's eight opinions btw and they're unanimous. They come from six states.

I'm going this Friday, not expecting too much. Haven't been scared by a movie since I was 6 and I saw a Star Trek movie with the Borg.

That was some scary ****.

See, I woulda left when she started talking about all the ghost shizzle in the first place, and when the psychic came in and said it was a demon, I would've decided to take some time off a few states over or so...

Saw it a week ago, it's a good movie considering how much money they spent on it and how long it took to make.

He didn't run for "not angering" the demon. He was an ignorant cocky character and thought he could beat the entity on it's own.
This was the first movie that really scared me. It was very scary. The story is very bad, but the shock effect and the intensity is just too much.
I kinda wished I didn't watch it, but yet I'm glad I did.
