Saw this one today and loved it.

You’re right that it has a few logical holes with how a normal boyfriend might behave, but then again I have met guys who are dumb enough to act like that in the face of something they think they are better than.

Also, what horror movie doesn’t have a moment or two of flawed logic?

Anyway, loved the flick, loved your review. Keep up the good work, and hopefully you’ve been able to get some sleep!

Ok, saw the movie last night, curious about the hype. Plus, I do enjoy a good “things go bump in the night” flick. I agree, the bf is annoying (though he does have a cool name: Micah), even foolishly arrogant. I thought the movie was well done, though more creepy than outright scary. At times it felt a bit contrived and found myself wondering at points where their hand-held camera was filming from: Was Katie (supposedly terrified) following Micah around with the camera at certain points? If she HATES the camera as she says, why would she be doing this? For the lights on the camera? Well, why not just turn the lights on in the room, etc? Also, Micah claims to do all this research and is enthusiastic about using a Ouija board, but not once attempts to use sage or holy water around the house? Does he give a crap about Katie? lol But despite these misgivings I was glad I saw the flim. It sated my curiosity

I don’t know if I completely agree with you here. I like how they focused on the psychological effects that the events had on the characters. I thought watching them was just as scary as the demon. It gave the movie a human connection that most horror movies lack as they just throw undead Japanese girls and severed body parts at the camera.

This is my first visit/comment and I like what I see. Look forward to becoming a frequent commenter.

Haha, thanks for the heads up, but one of these days I’ll give it a shot, just to see what the fuss is about ten years after the fuss has died down.

The movie trailers for this film do a great job of making you believe that this is a real documentary. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m sure I’d be like you, believing a demon would enter my bedroom any minute. And don’t worry about Blair Witch. It was horribly stupid.

I heard the buzz about this movie. I was on the fence about seeing this movie. I can handle horror movie. I scare easily. I would literally poop myself if I see this film.

I would keep my safe distance away.
