It's gotten a hammering by the critics if my information is correct. Personally, I think I'll give it a miss, mainly because the trailer made it look like cack.

After the trailer? I think not. A movie in the blair witch style of boredom.

Is nothing like blair witch:p
Is a proper horror full of jumps and gore and desperation,not some silly film with ppl talking into a camera:p

This is one of the films where you have to ignore the tralier.

A mate at work commented how good this film was and I took my gf along to see if he was right.

And he was...

I won't say to much otherwise it will spoil the film. Nowadays you tend to know what is going to happen in horror films, but in this one you have no clue and there are some very unique jumpy moments, including a point where I shouted out :(. The camera work is spot on making you feel as you are there and the story is believable.

See it and you'll not be disappointed! :)

Like dog soldiers, its better in the first parts of the movie, where its more suspense rather than blatent gore, was quite decent overall though :)

Well I took the plunge.

Great beggining, good middle, too gory and wasteful in the end.

Really a good experience in the cinema, with people swearing and jumping and laughing because they cant believe what they have just seen.

Best way to explain it is "fucked up"
