So what is all the buzz about you may ask? For several months the the film media has been talking about this film and how it terrorized its sample audiences. Well, after such hype and great reviews I went to this film expecting for the fright of my life. While during the actual film I was not as scared as I had hoped to be, the film does something worse, it plays with your mind. It is not until you get home and go to bed that the real horror and realism of the film really hits you. Part of the sheer terror of the film is that the subject couple is your typical young couple living in a typical cookie cutter home with what seems to be furniture and home accessories you would find in your local Target, and it is exactly that which makes the viewer relate to these characters and really believe that this too can happen to you. It is when you realize this that the movie really starts to play with your mind, and by this time of course you will probably already be in bed attempting to go to sleep. Interestingly enough, it is the couples bedroom where all the paranormal activity happens, and thanks to their camcorder, we can see all of it.
Sweet Dreams!
