Why all the hate? I really liked this!


I thought it was a good movie that kept its intensity up until the last second. As a lover of found footage, I thought it was more than passible, and was somewhat surprised to see so much negative discussion about it.

So, what *didn't* you like of the movie?

I enjoyed this movie,i seriously enjoy these lesser known movies especially the found footage movies. This movie had a somewhat happier ending than Megan is Missing. I think they should have armed themselves with those guns or bat they saw, i know i would have other than that really good film

I actually didm' thought it was that bad either, but the girl at times got on my nerves. Like I was hoping one of them would slap her to get her out of being completely hysterical or close to being hysterical.
All we did was most of the time listen to them argue, and when there was finally some action it was done in the dark so you can't see anything, though that does leave you to use your imagination so I actually didn't really dislike that.

So yeah the thing what I didn't like was the girl. I get the whole saving a child thing, but be responsible about it. She had her younger brother with her too and she didn't think of his safety once throughout the entire movie.

I did as well. I found it to be very entertaining, as it kept me on the edge of my seat.

However, I have to say that Nate was an incredibly annoying character. Samantha should have left him on the side of the road early on, or, at the very least, taken the wheel. Nate has to be the biggest, most spineless wimp ever!

An attractive girl such as Samantha would never hook up with such a loser!

All in all, a very entertaining movie.
