I hate to truly diss any film but this was just terrible.
If you are going to copy Blair witch 10 years after the fact, at least bring something new to the table.
It had a good location and a game cast who turned in believable performances but the story was utter rubbish.
They cheated on the realism vibe by having huge sound effects for every jump moment and what were those big white lights in the campsite ?
I didn't buy for 1 second that the girl wouldn't have noticed someone standing 5 feet behind her while shes holding a torch nor the fact that when Mr beardy left the camp you could clearly see he had his backpack, so why was his laptop with incriminating evidence left in the tent ?
They didn't even keep to their own half hearted mythology as the hanging bloke was hung by his feet ? You hardly need a hangman's noose for that...
Bottom line, if your going to make me endure loads of horrible wobbly cam in the woods footage, for gods sake deliver with at least 1 genuine scare or creepy moment.
The only reason i can imagine the no review ban is they don't want their "cash in" exposed as there was nothing in the films story to give away or spoil.
