I want to see this as it is being billed as the scariest film in what was it 20 years? But it is not playing in any of my theatres on the fandango site....

I saw this tonight and I enjoyed it overall. Quite impressive considering the budget. The movie grinds out and gets creepier and creepier leading up to the end. It's not really a scary movie but it sticks with you. You more than likely won't enjoy this if you didn't enjoy the Blair Witch Project. I thought this film succeeded where the Blair Witch Project failed.

The only negative for me was the ending, which just didn't fit with the movie. The Alternate Ending sounds alot better.

Well, I enjoyed both of the Blair witch movies. I hate scary movies so this will probably scare the stuff out of me....

This.

I was pissed when I read about the alternate ending. It sounded so much better, and I think it fit the tone of the movie so much more.

Assuming they put it on the DVD, I'll probably rent/buy it just to see that ending.

The ending just disappointed me as it seemed like it was aimed at the kiddies, like "here's the action you've been waiting for". It's like they stooped down a level and it just didn't go with the film.

As for the Blair Witch Project, I only saw the first. It was cool, although I found it somewhat boring and it really didn't do much for me. This movie hits harder I think as it shows how vulnerable we are while asleep. Definitely creepy stuff. Hopefully this movie won't get an unnecessary sequel, knowing Hollywood though it likely will.

[OrangeEmpire]

The alternate ending is far better. I guess Steven Speilberg suggested the current ending.

Also, it didn't click with me till I got home but the 3:15 am time is creepy. It hit me putting my boy to bed....... 1+5 =6......... 3 (666).......

Sounds like a good scary movie.


I despise ghost hunters, btw. They try to pretend like they're doing a real "scientific" investigation, yet all their evidence is ridiculously flimsy and flawed.

Them claiming they go into every investigation looking to disprove a haunting is laughable.

I guess I am truly confused. I have seen enough of that show and researched enough of the paranormal to be baffled by what your saying. The show most of time can be pretty lame, but they have at times found things through evidence such as recordings via video and audio that are pretty hard to say are not concrete. These pieces of evidence are analyzed by many other people such as audio/visual experts to prove that they have not been tampered or hoaxed. They continue through trial and error to help develop paranormal science. Their method of investigating is in fact to disprove before anticipating anything. Looks and sounds awfully scientific to me. So I don't get any argument on how that is not their method of operation. There have been many an episode where they have completely disproven paranormal activity and there have been a few where they actually caught people trying to fool them with speakers in the walls, etc. But afterall it is a tv show. It is produced for entertainment.

I get it that you look at everything through a science book, but there are a great deal of people dating back long before modern science that have been claiming much of the same type of experiences. Science has not quite caught up to something that may or may not exist. Narrow mindedness certainly won't help scientific discoveries. T.V. shows aside if you don't believe it and want to walk around in a box, than thats fine but there are a great deal of things that science has yet to explain.

As in another thread we had on ghosts a few months ago I told my experience and there were multiple individuals who were right there with me who experienced precisely the same thing I did. It was not a matter of hearing a creeky noise and the mind playing tricks. Frequent occurences happened for close to an hour and over several days in fact. Just because you have not experienced anything does not mean that it is not happening. Proving paranormal activity through evidence is not as easy as taking a water sample and putting it under a microscope. Sorry for the novel, but I needed to voice that.
