I went and saw this movie about five days ago, without really knowing what it was and only having seen the trailer once. One of my girlfriends wanted someone to go to the movie's with and since I wasn't doing anything I thought what the hell.

All I have to say its DAMN. I actually really liked this movie! If you had of asked me after I'd seen it I wouldnt have been able to give an answer either way but now that I've had a few days to contemplate and think on it, I've decided i really liked it. I loved the handheld camera as it gave the movie a very relastic element to it and made it much scarier for me. More dramatic and adrenaline run.

I must be immune to motion sickness as the shakey cam never once made me sick and I actually kind of got use to it after awhile and totally forgot I was watching something that wasn't steady cam or dolly opporated. I can see where people are coming from though when they say they didn't like it. Most of them don't even stay to watch the whole movie.

A couple actually walked out ten minutes into the movie when I went and saw it. It did start off slow, but that's only because it was introducing the main characters and their relationships to one another. If you working with a home movie then it's going to be slow as home movies are only entertaining if you yourself are in them. If that couple had of stayed just another two minutes they would have seen the action to come.

I have to admit when i left the cinema I did leave with a feeling of emptyness. It was strange movie and it was scary, but I still really liked it.
