neonhorn22 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Has anybody seen this movie yet? I don't know about internationally, but it's an indie film that has opened to more theaters in the States due to the public demand. It's supposed to be freakishly scary and I'm considering seeing it, but I wanna know if it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonhorn22 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 There have been several reviewers that have said that if you liked "The Blair Witch Project" than this is 100x better and scarier. Problem is, I haven't seen that movie before, so I have nothing to compare it to. If it's all hype, than I don't want to waste my money and yes...the trailer IS intriguing, but doesn't really show enough to make me wanna run out and see it right away. :shrugs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV Gal Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I haven't seen the movie but I am curious about it. It does look quite interesting. I haven't seen the Blair Witch Project either but I know people who have seen that movie and some liked it and some didn't, but that is due to personal tastes. I say go and see the movie because you have a chance of wasting your money on any movie you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 It looks like a shit film that tries to make itself into a cult classic by using pathetic, worn out techniques of 'scaring' people. Notice how in the trailers when they show audience reactions, people are always jumping? Using sudden sounds and flashy images to startle people isn't scary, it just raises your blood pressure. Too many scary films these days just try to startle you rather than actually scare you, and this film looks no different. Skip. EDIT: The trailer also says you must see it in theaters. A truly scary film would be just as scary on DVD (all the best horror movies are). Don't waste the money and be disappointed. Rent it later and it won't be any different except that you didn't just spend $!8 on food and tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonhorn22 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Well....we just got back from seeing it, and it was definitely creepy......a psychological thriller. I'd recommend people to see it, however, we had some douches in the audience that kept making stupid ass comments when it got quiet. And, of course, some of the girls in the audience screamed like little kids. *sigh* But, other than that....it lived up to the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 So it wasn't a pile of garbage? Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonhorn22 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Nope, I wouldn't say that. It was slow in the beginning, but they did that to build suspense and get you acclimated to the characters and their situation. I read somewhere that the only reason it has gotten national showing is because of Steven Spielberg. It was shown to him and he took interest in it. The ending that is showing in theaters isn't the actual directors ending, it's Spielberg's ending.....so after seeing it, I'm REALLY curious to see what the director's ending was. I've read that the movie scared Steven Spielberg, which is why Dreamworks picked it up. EDIT: Also, there wasn't a ton of stuff that made you jump. Lots of it was subtle stuff....like a shadow moving on the door or.....well, I don't want to ruin it if anybody plans on seeing it. The first 30 minutes are subtle and then the intensity starts ratcheting up after the introduction of a Ouija board. The actors did a good job.

luckycharms2987 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 bummmmpppp SPOILER: Okay, So I saw this film a few days ago. This film was pretty lame. To me i spent an hour watching people talk about the "demon" and then at night, a girl rocks and a door slams. The ending scene, the one where the girl slits her throat, its creepy. But, other than that, the movie was just boring. No popcorn thrills. In my opinion, this movie is a waste of time. It is by far not a psychological thriller.

Susan13 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I saw this movie the other night and couldn't believe all the hype people gave this movie. All they do in the movie is she walks out of the room and you hear "OH MY GOD!!! WTF IS THAT!!? WHAT IS THAT!!?" and then her boyfriend comes running to see whats the matter and then you hear "AHHH! OH MY GOD!! WTF!!! WHAT IS THAT!!?". It could be nasty mold growing in the shower for all we know. There was nothing scary about this movie. Poltergeist was the scariest movie I ever saw.
