What an freaky thing! Almost like a scary movie in its self. Not saying it's all true, but really interesting. Worth seeing, I find it odd they only showed it once on SciFi must have ticked someone off. The bird in the old farm house scared me so watch out. And who knew he died. The fact he has prewritten lines for the actors to say about his movies. The pond and the ice,said he saw died people as a small child. His movie are about his life, and know one ever knew. Not your normal interview at all, quite an strange twist. Also has information about The Village. One thing I can't seem to find the website that they talk to the teenager about.

Like the hideously confounding and at times chilling stuff urban legends are made of, M Night continues to walk hand in hand with the likes of the Nelly the Lochness and the Blair witch. Once again M Night has pulled something similar to a horrifically ghastly gunny sack over our heads all the while dragging us into the middle of a wooded area in the dead of the witching hour fully intent on leaving us there to fend for ourselves. Although more of a shocumentary, one expects a level of cleared understanding when immersing into a documentary. However, M Night would have none of it. Whether he is a genius in his own right, or just plain insane, M Night has added all the elements of terror and surprise from his films and incorporated it into a world of his own in which he stars. He and very few others can make what can only be described as a work of art that each and every person leaves from feeling as if they were a part of history in the making. Taking with them a piece only as original as each person who viewed it. How one man can make you expect everything, receive nothing, and walk away feeling richer than ever is beyond me, but one would be a fool to pass upon this jewel.

The biggest give away was the bad acting of the pizza guy looking at the photo, and the network meeting at the end, also bad acting. However, in response to an earlier post..they do not have to get permission to broadcast as it is a doco (anyone seen Kurt and Courtney?). But Sci-Fi Channel did have written permission to broadcast at the beginning, that is why they received the letter pulling the plug later on. Also if anyone is still suspicious about whether this is real or not..you'll have to wait and see if this Fakumentary is part of the Special Features on their DVD release, as the director gets to have a say as to what goes on the disc. Did the Blair Witch doco, released before the film end up on the DVD release? Does anyone know? This was a great show, but it does copy the Blair Witch idea.

I wasn't impressed with this film. It was like reading the cover of the Weekly World News in line at the grocery store. And crows? Much of this was filmed in the winter. Crows form large flocks at this time of year, for safety. They are social, intelligent and curious. Study up on their behavior & natural history....they are quite interesting w/o all the supernatural associations. The Sci Fi channel being too strict to do this as a hoax? C'mon! You really need to get out more. It was a pathetic attempt at fame....too bad it had to drag on for 3 hours. I surely hope they don't pull something like this again! Perhaps it'll be right up there with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. With all that can be done with digital media, I don't know why they thought anyone with a brain would believe this, but hey, that's just my opinion.
