Just perfect...

Dreadfully Boring

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

My god honest opinion of this show is simple. HOLY CRAP?!? Anyone who had the balls or guts to actually do something like this is a winner in my book. I believe in the paranormal from personal experiences, and i would never put myself out there like that and practically invite them into my life. Let me ask you this, would you play with an ouija board? I would'nt. Sorry not interested wont even come any where close to one. I do love the way this show kinda puts a unique twist by making it like an obstical course. It was kinda confusing at times and a little annoying but all around i did still watch it. I enjoyed the fact that you could feel the fear and the real emotions everyone experienced.

I loved MTVs Fear. I don't care if it was real or not. And I don't care if it ripped off the Blair Witch Project. For some reason after 9-11, my interest in things that had previously scared me began to grow, from roller coasters to scary movies. Sadly the "scary movie" as such is in terrible shape. If I see one more ghost that can't rest until it's murder is solved, I'm going to strangle it myself. But MTVs Fear always gave me the chills. They found atmospheric locations with legitimately creepy vibes and proceed to creep the kids out who played the game. Ostensibly there was no cameraman or crew except the players of the game. (Each participant wore a helmet that filmed both what they were viewing and their reaction to it.) The episode where the girl goes to the children's ward of a hospital and a ball moves across the floor in a "U" shaped path scared the crap out of me. After some episodes I would walk around my place and turn every light on. Soooo creepy.

OK, to everyone who swears it is real, could someone please explain to me why, if these places really ARE haunted and the ghosts really DID get disturbed by these individuals perfroming the dares, that the disturbances would stop IMMEDIATELY upon their arrival back at the 'safe zone'? If it were real, there have been too many episodes for something to not have happened by now. Especially in the places that supposedly have evil spirits. Unless, of course, MTV talked to the spirits' agents beforehand, and got them to agree to only scare the 'contestants' while they were performing the dare, not while they were all together. That has to be it! I just wonder how much MTV is paying the spirits.So I stand corrected. This is brilliant! (Actually, now that I think about it, they ARE paying the spirits. Only those spirits are a lot like stagehands paid to make the noises and chase after the kids on their way back.)

Contestants get paid $5000 to do "dares" like sitting in a room full of crickets, sitting in a dark room alone for 2 hours, or performing an "exorcism" (splashing holy water around and reading a latin phrase). The funny thing is that people actually get so scared by these simple tasks and the ghost stories that MTV and their "psychic experts" cook up, some of them actually abandon the cash and quit. Of course nothing supernatural has ever actually happened on the show, except for the contestants psyching themselves out. Somehow it is entertaining... funny though, not scary.
