***A Spoiler Lies Within (But do you really care?)*** Y'know, the idea was there... Capitalizing on the reality show wave, this would-be horror had a handful of clever ideas that were absolutely lost in execution.

This movie is supposed to be the 'live' broadcast of the last night of a web cast that goes horribly wrong. A thin storyline, surrounded by weak acting and horribly stereotypical characters, leaves a laughable effort. Even the deaths, which by horror/suspense standards MUST contain some sort of bitter irony, falls short on what is 'just' for these stupid characters. Also, and I feel I spoil nothing in saying this, you find out who the killer is in the first 10 minutes! Even the climactic (?) impact of the girl realizing why nobody is helping is completely lost in a hardly-heard, half-hearted statement. (Here's a hint, read the title again.)

The ONLY salvageable thing in this movie is the fact that there are extremely fleeting moments of style. The static cameras that buzz and whir to try to track the action is unique, and at times offer the only moments close to realism. [Best moment: The single camera shot of the killer taking out the pothead's friend.] The other thing that I was amused at was the killer's 'costume'. Again, very unique but otherwise wasted.

Unfortunately, it's movies like this that give Canadian film a bad name. [Might I suggest you check out 'Ginger Snaps' and its sequel(s)?] Sorry guys, but style CANNOT win out over substance. 2 out of 10

A real piece of poop.

doulike2watch.com is the worst movie ever. it is not scary, it is not funny and it is not entertaining on any level at all. the plot/script is terrible and it has stupid dialogue, and the acting is so bad it goes past being laughably bad to the point where you almost have to cry because it is so sad. daryn jones (from the buzz) sticks out especially bad for his terrible, terrible performance that almost drove me to kill myself. just because you're on t.v. walking around and making fun of people doesn't mean you can act! but then again the buzz sucked too so i guess we shouldn't be surprised at how bad he is in this. anyway that's it. i wish i could give it a zero but i can't go less than one. too bad because that's what it deserves.

Deserves Credit for Originality

In the realm of horror movies, where remakes are the order of the day, sometimes you have to admire a movie if for no other reason than the fact that it is original and reflective of the day. On that note, doulike2watch.com does an admirable job.

The film follows a house where three guys and three gals are staying, using documentary style narration in the beginning, and a variety of alleged camera's around the house to follow each of the house guests. Its premise is of course set around a "Real World" concept, and you get all the tensions between house guests.

And then, one evening, one of the girls picks up a guy, bringing him back to the house. Unwittingly she has helped a would be house guest who had been rejected into the house, and he inflicts his anger and bitterness in a homicidal streak, dispatching the house guests one by one.

There are of course limits to this type of film making- chiefly the camera quality is really weak and the popping in and out do really make it difficult to focus an interest on anything. However this is part of the originality of the film, and so I do have respect for the purpose.

And on a related note, the homicidal guy (Troy Mundle) is absolutely beautiful!

Yikes...

OK this movie is defiantly one of the scariest movies I've seen. I don't know what this guy is talking about. It is a little bit predictable. But really what horror movies aren't even a little bit predictable. There is quite a lot of nudity in this so i wouldn't like watch it if it was your first like date with someone...lol...really awkward but its good and I like how its filmed like it could be real. My friend actually thought it was real...at the end she was like "I hope they caught the guy" and we were like what? It was great. I really enjoyed it but OMG was it ever scary. It has some sort of twisted thought to it though. It really kinda disturbed me. I think it was like the scariest movie I have ever seen. Be prepared to have nightmares.
