If you watched the extended trailer, it kind of leads you to know certain parts but I was in a packed theatre last Friday with the wife and I think the best part was all of the people freaked out that basically freaked everybody else out. The lady next to us kept saying "I am so nervous, I am so nervous"

It is a theatre of the mind though, nothing visual (for the most part)

The foot steps, those damn foot steps in the movie.

I went to the Showcase Cinemas here in Franklin. I want to say that when I looked last week it was in 6 theatres around here (do not remember where else), probably more by now.

See it in theatres. The collective anxiety is fun! That and when one person screams it has a tendency to set everybody off. See it while it is popular though and the crowds are big.

IDK, it didn't get to me much. I'll admit some goosebumps. To me, it wasn't a "good movie" but more of an "extremely fucked up movie worth seeing because it is so fucked up."

it was the absolute biggest waste of time and money going to see this movie IMO. I damn near got motion sickness. The only thing that kept me in the theater was the HUMOR in the first hour. That dude had me crackin up for sure.
my .02,wait for it to come out on dvd and rent it.

^ That's what some people said about cloverfield and I loved that movie. Love or hate with these new "hand held" camera movies.

The camera is stopped most of the time but there are indeed points where he is lugging the thing around, it is not a small camera.

This is def one of those loved it or hated it movies with little inbetween. You have to like scary movies, you have to understand that it is not a very visual scare move...it is all in your head. Do not go into the movie thinkiing it is going to be some Friday the 13th episode 20, it is very different.

ahh another hand held movie, although I liked Cloverfield and Quarantine so this is still on my list.

It seems interesting, I like watching the TV shows on discovery like Ghost Labs.

I thought it was "eh". The whole time I just kept thinking about how easy it was for them to make money off this. Low budget film, a few special effects, and then a ton of $$ on marketing to get ppl to demand it.

Had a few moments that made it a scary movie, but I went with two girls so they were freaked the whole time. I agree with other posts on here about how it was a film huge on anticipation, not so much with what they actually show.

Paranormal Activity absolutely sucked imho. We went with four other people and nobody liked it. I heard everyone saying it was a dumb movie as they were leaving.

save yourself some money and watch it online instead.Theres plenty of great quality copies floating around the net.I guess you cant really judge a movie that was filmed for around $11k.The movie was just up to par with the cost to produce it :yawn:

Cloverfield blew. So much potential, such a worthless cinema technique. Blair Witch was less jerky, and I actually thought Quarantine wasn't bad. Cloverfield had the biggest budget of any of them and the shittiest camera technique. I wouldn't watch that movie again unless I was paid to.

downloaded it, watched it kindof fast forwarding through it. The download version has different ending than theater version in some cases.

I agree it looked boring, but maybe I missed all the fun stuff?

I liked it, it creeped me and the girl out. I thought the ending could have been better but I'd give it 7 out of 10.

Chris did you find a good copy?

Hitman - To each his own. I did think quarantine was pretty good too. Although I watched in on bootleg so quality wasn't good. I love the part with the old crazy chick in the beggining.

Just like Blair Witch, there has been little middle ground on this one, so many people hating it and an equal number loving it. A co-worker took his wife on Halloween and his wife has jumped out of bed each night hearing their dog walk across their hardwood floors.
