The movie opens great, if a bit haphazard in its pacing. The suspense slowly builds up. The realistic, amateurish style is used to better effect than in Cloverfield where the idea of someone lugging an HD camera around with night vision was slightly absurd. At some point I noticed the movie was over halfway done and I was not yet caught up in the suspense. It was still kind of silly and I would have turned it off if I hadn't paid money for it. When we finally reach the "thrill," it's a predictable letdown. This movie does not excite the imagination, and the ending is satisfying to precisely no-one (maybe the directors were trying too hard to make it realistic by giving it a crappy ending). I won't spoil it here, but if you watch it through, stick around for the Animal House-esquire exposition in the last half-minute, which is laughably bad.
