So this weekends veiwing of choice was Grave Encounters. Ive wanted to see this for so long after reading good reviews on some of my favourite blogs. I've gotta say, I was really impressed. The acting was awful, granted, but in a way I loved how low budget it was and the awesome mix of comedy and horror. Dont get me wrong though, this is in no way a spoof, i was absolutely terrified throughout. I think the main reason it made me jump so much is because its so drawn out, the jumps arent every 30 seconds like in some films, so your tension has plenty of time inbetween scares to really build up and get your heart racing. definitely worth a watch.
the bad point, as in most hand held camera films, was the ending. sometimes a film should just end, leaving you wanting more, without any clear explanation of what happened (donnie darko and blair witch project being two of my favourite examples) but i dont think this is one of those films - i would have really liked more of a conclusion to the film. However i now hear they are making a second one which makes me think there is a reason they left us hanging...
