I knew the storyline was made up and I knew what was happening wasn't real. But they have it set up like a home camera in a live film shooting, it scares you and gives you the chills. A movie like this hasn't scared me in years and I very much enjoyed it. How scared was I? I still have to sleep with cartoons on just before I go to bed and it's been 3 days now! Great movie! I highly recommend it!
