[QUOTE="Darkwolf71, post: 4000166, member: 32433"] Great movie. The shaky-cam was very bad in spots. That was frustrating. But for the most part it works really well. This film manages to quickly draw you [i]into[/i] the action. Almost as if you are Hud. Note that this is [i][u]not[/u][/i] Blair Witch. It is a big budget film. BW didn't show any ghosties for dramatic and expense purposes. This film does. You see the monster several times. More as the film goes along. Including one close-up that is very impressive. I wish you saw the 'parasites' a bit more, but they are in several scenes as well. The acting is actually great. I mean if you think about it, they aren't supposed to feel like actors. They are just regular people who happen to have a camera. Regular people often feel awkward around cameras. Nobody does this better than Hud. You quickly 'get' that he's the socially awkward type. His interactions with Marlayna(sp?) and other people at the party show this very well. The rest of the main characters 'feel' like people I know. They aren't larger than life action heroes with snappy one-liners. They're scared and they want to get out of the city. Again, great movie. I can't wait to own this on disc so I can pause it and get a better look at the beasties. [/QUOTE]
