Not to mention things jumping out at you going for cheap scares. This movie was done extremely well, got too popular too fast and then all the doubtfuls in the world showed up the next day deciding that they wouldn't be impressed unless they shit their pants and started crying during the middle of it. If you are unable to lose yourself within a movie like this then you will probably never be able to enjoy anything--stick with action movies with Jason Statham in them.
As for apollo 18? It was dog shit, but dog shit that was inspired by a well done movie.

Good post. If you didn't like Blair Witch Project you can atleast respect the movie...the way they made it was awesome, it brought a new genre to popularity and it was one of the first movies to make use of an internet viral campaign. There was surprisingly a lot of people that thought the movie was real when it came out because of the online viral campaign and TV lore they had going on at the time. They made the movie for peanuts and it ended up making hundreds of millions of dollars. I mean just lookup the history on how the made the movie, it's fantastic the way it was made.
There were a lot of horror movie people that didn't care for it when it first came out but if your browse horror movie forums you'll find that they now regard the movie very highly after watching it a few times and realizing what a good ending it had and just the overall feel for the movie.
Of course you can't expect half the people here to understand considering there was just a thread praising "Thor" as a really good movie lol.
