Has anybody else seen this yet?

I was pleasantly surprised, not usually being a big fan of these style movies.

Although the replay value might not be that amazing, I think I might buy this on blu-ray if it gets released, it's a shame two years passed by before it finally came out (Just like Trick R Treat).

I've never liked the whole Blair Witch style, infact I didn't like that movie at all, I was skeptical of Cloverfield and also of this, but if you watch it with an open mind from the start it's not too bad, but I can understand why some might not like it, I don't think the hype over the crowds reaction in the cinema is at all worth it, I guess the subject matter just appeals to me which is why I like almost anything like this, White Noise was one of my favourite movies for a long time, it still is.

I'm all for paranormal... one of my fav TV shows at the mo is supernatural... I enjoyed Blair Witch for what it was... and Plan on seeing the new Mill aJojovich movie "4th Kind"... I just felt absolutely no pull to this... I'll probably end up seeing it by being dragged with friend... :lol:

I like these handheld camera movies... when they're done well. This looks pretty good. Here's a couple of trailers:

I think this was well done, some mention a score for the movie would have been good, but I honestly thought it went well without one, you don't need some kind of eerie music coming everytime something might be about to happen.
