starts slow a couple of people even left but imo it was awesome its hard to watch due to the style of the camera work (anyone with motion sickness dont bother lol) but it works i luv the lack of end theme tune the style and the way it cuts about, the reality.. makes it a great film

Complete load of shit

Actually made me feel sick (motion sick).

Lacked actual plot, and ending was somewhat fucking open!

Almost felt like asking for my money back!

You kinda missed the point here, the movie is supposed to be a viewing of the tape found in "former central park".

I loved the movie, the start was soo slow and i wanted to leave, but when they went to the roof and started to run down the stairs the movie was awesome from there till it ended.
really took the blairwitch idea ten steps further.

this is truly a movie you need to watch at the cinema and not on a crappy downloaded version.

I am not sure that me feeling motion sick was missing the point? Admittedly I felt not brilliant before I went in, but it was actually hard work watching the thing.

A realise that this was deliberate - doesnt make it good.

As far as plot is concerned - It is a monster film plain and simple! And there is no clear answer to what it was - where it came from - and how it was (if it was) solved.

This was the area of plot that I was finding difficult

It was a really good flick made all the better by the awesome sound system in the cinema I was in. Each footstep from the beast shook the floor of the cinema, most bass driven sound system I have heard at a cinema ever.

nono, i qouted a bit wrong.
it was this i was supposed to comment:

the movie is supposed to be open, what caused the liberty head to end up in the street, where the beast came from, and so on is not revealed.
cause its only a tape from a camera.
And if there had been a story of where it came from, how it ended after the tape had ran out and so on would ruin the great idea behind the movie.

Exactly, and I for one hope they don't make a sequel, as that defeats the object of this one.

Anyway, it's made by the same bods that make Lost, so you should of known what to expect!

I take your point, but I still think it lacked plot. I realise that I may be asking a lot, but on analysis - if you put aside the original concept that the film was shot in the first person (via a camcorder), what are you left with?

Is that single idea enough to compensate for the lack of explanation of several of the key points? I guess that this is subjective. It depends on what you look for in a movie. There is a fine line between an unanswered question that remains so to be clever, and those that remain unanswered simply becuase they couldnt think of the answer.
