i can't believe this fuckin movie is #1 at the box office. after Blair Witch, Cloverfield and that other movie Warlord doesn't want mentioned in the same sentence, why are people still duped into paying to see these movies?

I don't think it was crap. I actually liked it. But I wouldn't say it's as scary as folks make it out to be. If anything, it was just amusing. I didn't really get scared at all. But if you're into that paranormal shit, I'd say check it out. It's very eerie and creepy, that's for sure. It's not like you're watching a scary movie, but more of a documentary of being in a haunted house. To enjoy it more, I guess you'd just have to put yourself in their shoes. It's not meant to be one of those gory, scare-tactic movies. It's more along the lines of just watching how a couple deals with paranormal activity.

It was creepy as hell and it certainly had some weird moments, but it's definitely not the scary movie that everyone is making it out to be. It's sorta like Blair Witch (which I actually did not like AT ALL), it's just a documentation of eerie things going on in their environment. If you're looking for crazy violence/gore, shit flying at the camera out of nowhere and creepy music to intensify the mood, this movie isn't for you because it doesn't have any of that.

BTW, I watched the DVD screener that leaked, and I will say that ending was quite anti-climactic. I heard about the theatrical ending, but that one would've been lame to see. There's another alternative ending that I've read about; I really want to see that ending.
