my rating: One instance of getting the horns out of eight attempts at messing with the bull.

what possessed me: I heard through the grapevine that this was the next Blair Witch Project, and we don’t get a lot of American horror movies in the theaters over here. The “grapevine” here is read “Facebook.”

what i learned: If you’re a douche and keep daring the unknown to show you what it’s got, I’m not going to feel sorry for you when you get what you asked for. I am glad that this movie caused such a stir though, because it’s the kind of smart, low-budget, (mostly) effective horror that’s going to spawn a crap ton of copies. Some of these will be better, some of them will have boobies.

you may also enjoy: Open Water, [Rec], The Blair Witch Project, MTV’s Fear and sleeplessness.

tangential thought: Watching the trailers for this movie is like searching YouTube for 2 Girls 1 Cup reaction videos. So, it’s pretty good marketing that makes you feel icky.
