Here we go again! Okay...so a little flimsy camera is making a "documentary" and OBVIOUSLY, that makes it so much more scary!! Actually...it just means the production company has a pretty frickin' low budget! Oy, how that annoys me that people actually buy into the "realness" = "more scary" crap.
Well, now that that rant is over, onto the review. Not only did that make tons of demerits on my little score card, there were many problems with this film. Maybe it was the fact that the editor was sloppy. It almost seemed that there were 3 or 4 cameras, instead of just one, because in the same scene, it would jump locations in just a fraction of a second. Also, there was background music in some of the scenes! That just irritated me, too! If I'm not mistaken, there is no music playing behind the wall when something significant happens.
The acting was decent. Almost everyone had this weird, awkwardness about them that just set me off, but then I understood that it was the point. Everyone in that town had something wrong with them, and we understand why later on.
Overall, I hated this movie, but I would hate to give it my first "F" ever on a review, so "D-" it is. Even for someone who hates horror films and likes to make fun of them as I watch, this one is probably the worst of it's genre.
