This movie has all the makings of this decade's Blair Witch Project. It was made on the cheap ($15,000), shot by the actors themselves,it had a great marketing push behind it, and it's a really decent scary movie when you get down to it.
The movie follows a couple who are being haunted by what they think of as a ghost. Pretty soon they realize that it is a demon...something much more sinister. They carry a camera around during the day and then set it on a tripod at night to see what happens while they sleep.
Without giving anything away, you can guess that the presence of the "entity" gets dramatically stronger as the movie progresses. What is really amazing is to watch this movie and try to figure out how they shot some of the scenes. Most of the movie is shot in long takes where the camera never cuts angles. Events that occur are seen from one point-of-view as the camera doesn't move while things are "happening".
That is the biggest deviation between this movie and the Blair Witch Project. The technology is better than it was in the late 1990's so the filmmakers can do some pretty crazy stuff.
I can't say anymore without really blowing it so I am going to stop now. If you like good scary movies then check this movie out. It is pretty creepy, and will stay with you for days after you watch it.
