Summary: Hype, Not Horror
Review: Well, the movie is...okay. It really isn't scary, but the acting is incredible. Be warned, the constant camera shaking can make you sick. I would rent it, but I wouldn't buy it.

Summary: This is the review - Short
Review: It is one of those films that you will either love or hate. I loved it the other people I know hate it. If you can loose yourself in the film it is brilliant, if you can't you will hate it.

Summary: a pretty good idea, just wasn't that scary
Review: I saw this movie on its opening weekend before the wide-release and way before all the hype set in, so I can't blame that. I expected to be scared senseless, though. And I wasn't. It was creepier to think about afterwards than it was to watch it. Too much arguing. Too much whining. And a couple of pretty big gaps in the logic. I've never met anyone who throws away a map because they're lost. I just didn't buy it. However, if I was convinced going in that this was a true documentary and that this actually occured, then it would have the potential to be the scariest movie ever made, simply because it would be like a true snuff film. But it's not, and it never seemed like it was.

Summary: alright but not worth seeing twice
Review: It's an ok movie if you have a strong stomach. I don't mean there's lots of blood and guts or scary but the shaking of the camera was about to make me sick. The movie was good and the story was good and it was kind of scary if you weren't throwing up all over the place from the shaky camera. It's almost not worth seeing the movie if you can't stand the camera bouncing up and down for an hour and a half. The movie could have also been a little longer. I mean good horror movies are at least 2 hours long and when your watching this movie the 1 and a half goes by really fast. If you can stand camera bouncing and no special effects what so ever then go for it. Otherwise wait till it comes on video and rent it for $2. That way you can shut it off and go puke then come back and you won't miss any part of the movie.

Summary: why all the hype
Review: This movie would have been okay if they passed out Dramamine before you watch it!!! The "home movie" type footage made me nauseous, it was ridiculous. There was three scary scenes in this entire movie? What was so thrilling-it was a neat idea for a film but was developed badly-and could Heather say **** a few more times, I don't think we caught it the first 100. A total waste of a trip to the theatre.

Summary: One of the scariest films i have ever seen
Review: This is without a doubt one of the scariest films i have ever seen, i am scared even to go walking in the woods at day time, and won't even set foot in them at night, and when it is night time and i think about the ending of this movie i still get shivers

Summary: THE CREEPIEST FILM I HAVE SEEN IN AGES!!!
Review: You will either love this movie or hate it. I can say I am in the first group. Too many movies these days rely heavily on special effects to keep the audience entertained and spend precious little time on character development. This movie is not one of those. All you get are the characters and a direct line into how a weekend in the woods wears down the minds of three young people. Excellently acted, very genuine. Yeah the cameras were shaky...yeah there was lots of cussing....but think about it....If you were out in the woods for days, without food, lost as all get out, and being pursued by some unseen thing/person....how would you be acting? JUST LIKE THEY WERE!!!! Highly recommended!

Summary: Novelty
Review: How Hip! Having seen the movie in its limited run before it went nationwide, before the media latched on, I was neither disappointed or impressed. What leaved a dry taste in my mouth is the "Gee, aren't we clever!" aspect of the whole production. It isn't revolutionary, I could point a video camera into the darkness and shout"OH MY GOD THERE IT IS THERE IT IS!!!!" But then again maybe I would get caught up in plot. I do credit this film for returning its viewers to an age old idea: Your brain is scarier than what your eyes. How cute. I also credit the filmmakers (One of which ran off with about $39,000) for a very savvy marketing effort. The bottom line, while not revolutionary, it was a good ride. I just resent the endless self crongratulation of cleverness. C'MON IT WASN"T THAT ORIGINAL OF AN IDEA. Savvy marketing, Gen-Y Appeal.

Summary: first time a horror movie got to me
Review: I am someone who is never scared by films but this one messed with me for days. As you can probably tell from other people on here, it doesn't have the typical axe wielding maniac which apparently disappointed some so you must know that going in. You have to see the movies with your walls down, if you keep your distance from what's happening as most horror fans do, you may not be scared. I didn't think it bothered me until it was over and I had to go home. That night I didn't sleep, not from fear, but from the feeling of going through a traumatic experience and it kept going over and over in my head. If you haven't seen it yet, don't let others effect you seeing it. You will either love it or hate it but you have to see it to make up your own mind.

Summary: Incredibly Original! Amazing!
Review: I think this is going to be one of the best films for the year, if not the best. To fully understand the end, you have to pay close attention to parts of the beginning. However the thing that made me stop breathing was the climax. I believe the last portion of the film was one of the most well thought up endings I've ever seen.
