I wasn't given the option of leaving 1/4 stars, but let me say that this was time I'll never get back. Movie moves at a glacial pace in the first half. We are subjected to a highly annoying teenager and his misguided friend searching for a demon in the dark night of the woods. Apparently, nobody has given any thought to what to do IF they encounter this ax wielding demon, which right there caused me to lose interest. The lead teenager rambles on and on, desperately trying to make contact with something he is terrified of; makes perfect sense, right? After numerous attempt at contacting this spirit, always preceded by a "I'm feeling really good about this", and getting no response.....by the time something remotely interesting does happen, you'll either be distracted or bored to tears.
I totally get it. Ever since Blair Witch project came to be, the idea of making an interesting and compelling FF horror movie seems very attainable, considering you need no budget whatsoever. However, you must be able to capture the viewer's attention and interest. It's one thing to have character development; but this is like watching paint dry. By the time the action comes, you're either bored to tears or so irritated by the lead actor, you're wishing he would just get knocked off.
The score of 5.8 on here is grossly misleading and obviously cast related. I'm appreciate the effort and at least, they tried. Maybe with enough practice, the producers will come up with something interesting.
