forward communism, forward gerbils!
always liked the film. great stuff.
Somewhere in the film it dates itself to the summer of '94 or '95. Of course, - continuity error - the 'soundtrack album' (ie alleged to be the mix tape that is left in the car), includes tracks from 1996.
Broke the fourth wall as much as when I noticed some of the synths in the background of 24 Hour Party People during the New order scenes actually post-dated when it was supposed to take place. Might have been a DX-7.
Unfortunately the film never really got scary for me and wasn't left wanting more, I still left wanting anything that was just a bit scary. The Paranormal Activity films, which are also found footage horror films and descendants if Blair Witch, also mostly work on suggestion, but they do work better for me. And sometimes monsters can work and the scariest thing in any found footage horror film for me is the skeletal possessed girl in REC.Interesting. I'd never thought about it like that before but you might have just nailed down the reason I did like it: it left you wanting more!
How many horror films have you seen which start off scary and then drop off a cliff as soon as you see the monster(s)? Probably more than those which remain scary and leave you wanting more, I'd guess?
I really don't care, especially considering the music never actually appeared in the film. Cash-in merchandise is not part of the canon of a film for me.
I thought the whole film was a bit meh, but the map throwing away thing was, i thought, realistic. People lost in woods behave irrationally and there are (according to Bill Bryson) quite a few documented cases of lost hikers doing just this.Why the fuck would you throw a map away?
Unless the witch had a jamming device!
You tell me mate. Probably some Bulgarian body-horror from 1947.what films do hipster beard cunts claim we should watch instead?
I've had scarier times looking at my arse in the mirror tbh.
Is anyone going to confess to getting motion sickness and hurling?
The abducted children were made to stand like that by the killer dude. Implication being that the spirit or whatever had taken him over.why is he stood in the corner? is the other one being tortured?
yeah that was great to me that bit. it is exactly how people act in psychosis. like you are not quite sure if they're messing around or really crazy.I thought the whole film was a bit meh, but the map throwing away thing was, i thought, realistic.

Good marketing/hype. Also good to see a low/no budget film do well. I enjoyed it once but would not bother again.
