Somewhere between THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and CLOVERFIELD lies this movie…
…and that’s not necessarily a bad place to be. Yes, many folk want to tear it down (sorta me too) but rather than unleashing my Schadenfreude let me give you my three simple tips for getting the most out of this movie going experience.
First, if you didn’t go opening night, don’t bother now, unless you go with a tremendously hot yet ridiculously cool girl that loves these kind of flicks (like my friend Karina, whom I saw this with). You need a proper audience, the kind that wants this movie to scare them. Go find a revival house or a second-run theater or wait until it comes out on DVD and find a sorority that’ll let you crash for the night.
Second, stop reading about it. No, really, just stop reading this post. Why not read one of my many other post under tags like The Complex, Last Night, Directing, Music, Dark Tony or Travel?
Third, believe. Buy into it. Like Mulder, you have to want to believe.
Me, I’d only done one of those three so I thought it was an interesting exercise in hype but this flick didn’t blow my mind. Mostly I saw the flaws, of which there are many, but that’s part of its charm.
