So, I'm slightly ambivalent about this film. In some moments, I think it's style is brilliant. In others, overbearing. I don't particularly like movies with all-knowing, all-powerful villains, but this one is oddly sympathetic and engaging. Violent? Sure, but in the same way as "Reservoir Dogs", i.e. a few scenes of extreme violence make the overall film seem more bloody than it really is. But, at it's heart, there's something really powerful - I mean, like something Sophocles might write if he were a modern-day Korean screenwriter. And it's that awful, terrible moment that makes this something worthwhile to me.

I can't remember the last time I walked out of a movie and I was smiling WHILE my legs were shaking. Definitely one of the best ghost stories I've seen in a long time. It actually plays like an extended Twilight Zone episode, meaning that, in many ways, it's a kind of morality play. More specifically, I think it finally truly addresses the character issues inherent in these found footage films. After all, what kind of a person would keep filming while things are going bump in the night all around them? Great work on the slimmest of budgets. Definitely deserves a wide release.

This movie changed my life. And that is not an exaggeration. I never looked at the world the same way again after I saw this film. Beforehand, I was very rigid in my understanding of right, wrong, ethics, and morality. This film was the moment when I suddenly understood that there was something.... MORE. And let's not even get into what a technical masterpiece it is at every single level, amid the chaos of its production.

Hitchcock's masterpiece. Hypnotic, and haunting, and beautiful. I saw this when I was 14, and I've had a crush on Kim Novak ever since.
