Why so much hype?

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

With all the stories to be told, all the great actors, writers, and directors who can't get employment, this movie is a shame. Shabby production quality and film editing, bad directing, completely unbelievable acting, bad makeup, etc. The urban legend this story is based on would make more than one great horror film in the right hands. It's a shame this home movie got anywhere I could see it.
