    Could be good... most likely will suck. Haven't been any great horror flicks in a while. Maybe it's time?!

    No thanks, looks like a Blair Witch just indoors.

    Nah, camera work looks much more "professional" than blair witch, and not quite as annoying as that last monster movie (forgot the name...where the guy won't put down the camera)

    That's the one I couldn't remember! I didn't like Cloverfield as much as I thought I would, but I wasn't bored to tears like I was by the BWP (Blair Witch Project)

    I heard some DJ's talking about this flick. They produced it for $11k, and as of last weekend, it had grossed $8M+:eek::D

    I'm hearing nothing but good things about this flick. Supposedly, it's genuinely terrifying.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    So, the real question is: Do you believe in Poltergeist?
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    This one is actually suppose to be a demon very similar, I'm not an expert but I believe their is a difference.

    I believe there is a chance of ghosts, demons, but I can't honestly say I'm convinced personally.

    Umm... folks... save your money. Pointless movie, not scary at all. Two freaky sorta scenes, but the rest was boring.

    WAY Over-hyped from the media... as normal. Wish I had saved my money.

    I have to agree...not impressed with Cloverfield (decent soundtrack though), and a friend of mine is a filmmaker...he made Blair Witch Project like films when we were in High School...nothing 'new' there...nothing good either! Handheld camera??? Every first year film student has DONE that...and their films are mostly BAD, BAD, and BAD-er (if that were a word--which it is not).

    As to paranormal phenomena...I think the 'jury' is out. The skeptics have pretty good arguments against it. And the believers are 'too' sloppy with their supposed 'proof' and documentation.

    From 11k to 8M, what a nice profit. I should shoot a video for less than 10K and see if I can turn a profit. Starring all you guys, a mix of zombies, comedy, and some speaker talk in between takes to make it funny.

    I just watched it this morning (kid woke me up)...not a movie I would want to watch at night before going to bed.

    The only part that freaked me out (trying not to spoil anything here) was the 2nd to last scene, depending on which version of the movie you saw.

    I liked it, but I agree that most of the movie was pretty damn boring, but it definately wasn't a "****" movie like some people state.

    I just watched this (blu-ray) and now I'm off to bed. Had several neighbors over, creeped us all out, very well done. I will say, both endings were cheesy. They should have cut about 1 minute off the ending, would have been much better.

    But, much better than that crappy Blair Witch film which was nothing but boring and not the least bit scary.

    Not really scary. Thumps, bumps, staring, almost fell asleep watching.
