Well I just got home from the movie and figured I'd let you guys know what I thought of the movie.

Ticket.

I'm not going to get into the plot , that can be found over at IMDB, but I will give my views on what I saw, please excuse this review, I'm in no way a professional and its 3:35 am. I went in with high expectations after reading reviews online and hearing good things about it. I think that's the mindset you need going into this film, do not expect a Michael Bay action packed movie here (not the best analogy but it's 3:37 a.m.). Go into this movie with an optimistic mind, I won't give any spoilers away but it builds up slow, but that's the great thing about it. I got some sort of an eerie feeling watching it, because it doesn't play like a typical Hollywood film, it plays like a home recorded movie, hell it doesn't even have any credits!(which I'm sure is too change once it makes it nationwide release). I've seen plenty of horror films but this one picks at something different, it gives you a real life setting, there isn't any fake CGI that goes too far it all is sutle giving the movie a more convincing effect. This movie will not interest everyone, for instance the guy next to be kept making snoring noises and saying the movie sucked. I believe he was expecting some over the top rob zombie mutilation of a film. This film is not that, it has a lot of jumpy scenes but amongst all that, in my opinion the scariest part is the fact that it's believable. On my way home after dropping my friend off I was constantly looking behind me at the rear seats, I got home I turned on every light to my room then backtracked and turned them all off. I get in my room and my satellite looses signal and goes crazy. I'm paranoid lol, I recommend this movie to everyone, give it a try at least.

On a lighter note The Fast and the Furious was playing their double feature in the parking lot as seen below

Stick on Air Vents FTL

there are some underlying clues that for some would give some things away...but it's not predictable like most horror movies, just because the setting of the movie.

Entertaining to watch, but really not that scary...just kinda creepy.

good to hear/read. hopefully it will hit the $2.50 movies soon so i can check it out. i refuse to pay $7 for a movie ticket when the movie may **** ***.

imo , one of the most realistic movies to watch - The Strangers. pretty ****ing creepy.

My fiancee and I agreed that strangers is by far the scarier/creepier movie out of the two.

don't know if you can compare the two. one is about paranormal and the other about killing.

This movie got some good viral marketing going on for it. I've even received fwd'ed text messages from multiple people, saying to go vote it so it can go nationwide. The hype reminds me of when everyone was going nuts to find out what was cloverfield (when it didn't have a name yet)

I'll most likely wait and see this on torrentz.

Anyone see Zombieland? It was a pretty good/funny movie. Beats the hell out of "Shaun Of The Dead".
