I like this movie a lot! and After watching the movie a second time it was still just as good and it held up really well. When I saw all the negative reviews this movie got i just had to write a review defending this movie because I don't understand the hate it gets at all.this movie was very interesting and it held my attention the whole way through!. One of the movies strongest points is it's Characters, the characters are all very likeable!. They were fun and interesting and Easy to relate to and I liked them as soon as the movie started because we see right away that They are just normal people that like having fun not only that but they were nice people too.they acted like real people unlike most characters in horror movies now a days.The characters were Never Annoying either, I was constantly interested in how they acted and what they did and some of them were funny too.They had good chemistry with each other and The scenes where they are joking around by The fireplace is Very Fun to watch.The movie is about five college students that leave new york city and drive out to the country for the weekend to celebrate their Friends 21st Birthday. Right off the bat this movie held my attention because as they are driving up a mountain road there is a Van following them, and there is a creepy and weird scene where the driver keeps hooting his horn at them repeatedly for no reason and they end up slowing down to let him pass them and he doesn't pass right away instead he toys with them for a little while longer by flashing his lights at them and hooting his horn and then he decides to drive past them. That scene alone was chilling and it makes you wonder who the guy is and what his problem is. The college students end up driving to a Dinner to get a bite to eat and they continue to film their trip and everything is going great but a few minutes later they see a Van pull up right next to the Dinner and it looks like the same van that had been behind them when they were driving up the hills but they don't know for sure if it's the same van even though it looks the same.Some of them thought it was the same van and some of them didn't and claimed it was just the same colour as the other van.when one guy goes outside to confront The driver he quickly drives off.what makes The van situation creepy is The fact that they never see who is in The van and The audience never sees whos in The van either because his windows are tinted black.The college students drive to their country house and try to forget about The weirdo in The van but they find out The next day that he followed them to their country house too and for some reason he is watching their every move.(The thought of that happening to me in real life is pretty scary).The movie was definitely suspenseful and it made me think.People say this movie is boring but I totally disagree I feel the complete opposite.The movie had a chilling and mysterious vibe to it and I liked that about the movie, it had a moody atmosphere and it succeeded at being creepy and chilling without showing much and that's what I found impressive about the movie.That just goes to show you, you don't need Blood guts and torture to be scary. This is how a horror film should be done with (suspense and subtlety) and focussing on fear of the unknown to creep out the viewers, that's what I prefer instead of dumb jump scares and The torture stuff.Those movies have no imagination to them whatsoever and that's what makes them boring, this movie on the other hand makes you use your imagination.The movie constantly had me wondering what was going on and who or what was following the college students. i thought The movie was well made with good directing good writing and good acting. The movie also had some very chilling moments like when they were out in the woods and they get lost,then they start hearing very bizarre noises that don't sound human and they try to figure out what's going on.does this have anything to do with the weirdo who followed them to the Dinner or is something else out there?. The movie was a good Mystery as well as a good horror story and I loved the whole isolation idea too,that makes the movie even more chilling knowing that they are in the country isolated miles away from town.The people who don't like this movie obviously have no imagination or are Just too impatient, but if you like a chilling suspenseful film then give it a watch.Overall I feel this is a Very Underrated Found Footage movie and I highly recommend it to people who like movies that make you use your imagination.

I usually don't do reviews. I read reviews and I give scores - but rarely make a review. But for this film, I just had to. The first 57 minutes, absolutely nothing happens.. You see them sit in a car talking while they drive. Then a car drives past them and slows down aaaaand drives past them again. They eat, and they move on - sooo back to driving and talking again. They come to the house - they talk some more and now drink a little - nothing else. And BAM 57 minutes has passed.. And what has happened? Nothing.. Then the narrative changes to the "bad guy's" camera as he films them doing everything we just saw earlier.. Just through a different camera... Some of the cast disappeared. How? No idea. Who took them? No idea. What happened to them? No idea. Really disappointing.. And why the f... does the bad guy make some weird clicking noise? Sounds unnatural, like he is supernatural/alien/mutant of some sort. But we don't know - 'cause we get told nothing.. My advise -> don't waste your time on this. Move along and find another movie instead.

This movie is an exercise in tedium and boredom. For most of it, absolutely nothing happens and given that this is yet another piece of alleged found footage garbage, you know that this is going to be another close encounter of the shaky kind.5 friends decide to spend some time away at a remote house somewhere in the country and they end up disappearing. Early on in the movie, there's some kind of weird run in with a van as they travel along and straight away you know that this is going to be the antagonist throughout the coming ordeal.For a great deal of the movie it's just 5 idiots talking about nothing. At one point they decide to go for a long walk into the woods and lose track of where they are and end up hopelessly lost. As night falls they begin to hear strange noises and it becomes a rehash of the Blair Witch as they run around in circles trying to get away from a "noise". They eventually make it back to the house all shaken up and it's around this time that they hear a "thump" at the front door and on investigation they discover a package which turns out to be a VHS tape. On viewing this they discover that they are the victims of a stalker and that they have been filmed since they left the city and have even been filmed asleep in their beds, so it's clear that whomever this van driver is, they clearly have the upper hand.All the action takes place in the last 10 minutes, so if you feel you need to watch this piece of clap-trap, watch the first 5 minutes and then fast-forward to the end and you'll miss nothing at all as you'll still know everything that went on. Everything in-between can be burned and it won't be missed. There is the obligatory FBI notice at the start and end, so we get a feel that this is supposed to be a real missing persons case. The more movies like this I see, it's hard not to think of the U.S as a country full of whack jobs, and it sends a message to just not travel anywhere to the countryside.This is pure drivel and completely derivative, plain and simple. There are no great acts of filming here, no real scares and it's completely devoid of any horror. Give it a miss and re-watch any other found footage movie.

To give you an idea of how unbelievably brain-rotting this film his, here is an example:There are ten minutes of just footage of the furniture. The effing furniture.Oh, it gets better.(Here come the spoilers)There are ten minutes of cars being filmed with little dialogue and nothing much else. During this film, nothing happens at all, then there is a few minutes of banging and screaming, then the credits roll. Hell, the director even makes them feel pretentious. There is no story, no character study, no explanation, no meaning or purpose, no violence, no nudity, no sex, no blood, no acting- skill. You don't find out what happened to half the cast, they just disappear.You get the impression that the murderer is a stalker but you don't get anything more than that at all. He has no ties to the characters, no explanation as to who it could be and if there is some crazy hidden subtext, I sure as hell didn't get it.Films like this shouldn't just get avoided. They should be sent back to the maker with a effing complaint. Can't believe someone got the opportunity to make a film and made this instead.I can honestly say that this is the first film I have seen that manages to have no closure, no twists, no ending and yet also manages to allow no interpretation at all.
