Blair Witch 2.0?

Way back in 1999 a group of wayward Maryland teens wandering through the woods disappeared with nary a trace save but a camera... and some footage... oh, and a subsequent hit cult movie that raked in well over $200,000,000 worldwide on a $60,000 shoe-string budget. Fast-forward about 10 years later, and apparently the 'creep the hell out of you on an ultra-low budget' genre is still going as strong ever.

Assuming you're willing to replace the woods this time around with an upper middle-class suburban household. And upgrade the wayward teens with a young 20 something couple being traumatized in said upper middle-class house on a nightly basis...

Paramount's marketing is brilliant . I had a chance to catch this fantastic low-budget thriller last night... and my verdict? Well I laughed, I cried (...from laughter), I was startled (for a couple half-a-second intervals), and I loved it. Not necessarily for the fear factor, but just perhaps on entertainment value alone. It's a fun flick that takes a more subtle approach to creeping you out than say your standard gross-out horror flick a la Saw series and Drag Me to Hell (that seems to be all the rage nowadays). This movie was in fact entertaining, and I highly recommend it... Although be forewarned, it can (under certain circumstances) induce mild paranoia if you happen to sleep in an dark room late at night... with your door open .
