Found (and edited) footage
26 December 2010
If you can get over the fact, that this "Found footage" movie isn't exactly as found footage as you would imagine it to be (meaning that it defies the simplest rules and gives the whole thing a score and does edit it, without making it look like everything was shot as we see it). If you oversee the other flaw, that there actually has been a second camera, which means that even the found footage and edited thing doesn't entirely work, because it is obvious that it was filmed, then you can enjoy the movie. (not that you didn't know this was a movie anyway, just saying)

These could be seen as major flaws (and maybe you will feel like they are and will not forgive the movie), but even though I wouldn't normally consider a rating that high for a movie that has obvious flaws like these (by cheating and not caring about the viewers at all), I kinda enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the ambiguity of the movie (don't let the movie poster fool you, the makers had nothing to do with that). The actors who are really great give their best. Even after the movie is over as seen at the Frightfest in London, where the main actor re-enacted a scene from the movie ... Nice!
