    I saw it and thought it was good but take it for what it is, a movie. No Mames!

        I saw it with my girl and neither of us got scared at all...

        perhaps it's because we knew it wasn't real but it seemed lame to me

                  I recommend KNOWING NOTHING about it and seeing NO TRAILERS. Movies are always better (or scarier in the case of horror movies) when you have no expectations and don't know what's coming.

                    I have it on the computer via torrent. Watched almost half of it the other day, not much of anything exciting happened. The scary stuff must occur later in the movie.

                      You people who didn't find it scary, what movie were YOU watching? Were you looking for Jason vs. Freddy or something? This movie is GENUINELY scary precisely because it is SUBTLE. There's no alien/monster/serial killer/creatures -- it's about fear of the unknown!

                      It's all about tension-building and pacing... it's about giving only bits of information to the audience and letting them wonder what the frig is going on and FEEL the visceral fear...

                      I thought it was an AWESOME idea to use the whole Blair-Witch documentary style. The whole "video footage" thing is GREAT -- it always works because it makes everything seem so real.

                            Capy, i watch Paranormal State on A&E.. (with the guys from Penn St) I think that show is scarrier than this movie.. It was too slow and very predictable..

                              And another thing -- you can't judge a scary movie when you're watching it on your laptop while you cap games!!

                              GO TO A THEATRE -- only way to really "feel" the movie. (and all movies actually)

                                    it was good, make sure you see both endings cause the screener ending is better than the theatrical one

                                          Not scary at all if you do not believe in ghosts/demons.

                                          The whole premise is that it is supposed to "be real". The fear is supposed to be from the notion that "this shit could happen to me", but if you aren't retarded then it's quite obvious that it would never happen to you because ghosts/demons aren't real. It would have been scary if the film was about a dude that hid in the attic and ass-raped you in the middle of the night; at least that might be plausible. However, this movie was just a poor man's Blair Witch Project - at least the camera work/suspense in that movie made it slightly scary.

                                              Heard it was real good. It was made cheap and they have already made a killing off of it.

                                                  i was scared the night i went to sleep after watching this movie

                                                  then of course my room mate oders pizza at 3AM, i don't know this and hear banging on the door and wake up scared as fukk thinking it was ghosts. LOL

                                                  and then, ppl were outside slamming car doors at 5 and all this shit happened that night, figures it happens when i was scared of sleeping

                                                  but good movie overall
