That's just false. Fine, you didn't like it. It did not suck.

It was a long bore. It wasn't TERRIBLE but it certainly sucked.

Fuckin' A!

Great flick, scary as shit. Don't let the fact that it's in the 'found footage' category put you off.

Being said, yes, most found footage sucks.

You should watch Chronicle for some grade-A found footage filmmaking.

Been waiting for this, is it out yet? I don't know if you can call me a fan of found footage or not. Hated Blair Witch, but I love love love the Paranormal Activity series, even the 4th one.

Speaking of Sci Fi.....I really wish they'd have done a sequel to District 9.

Oh, yeah. Its been out for awhile. The flying scenes were crazy as shit. P4 - didn't like it as much as the previous 3. The kid really creeped me out, though.

I'm going to have to check out V/H/S.

Like Anthony said, it's been out for a while. Really creative camerawork and decent acting to boot.

And don't get me started on District 9. Christopher said that he'd be back in 3 years.

This was decent. The main characters that frame the stories are just so loathsome you don't feel bad at all when things start happening to them. If you want a good anthology (non-found footage) horror movie I recommend Trick 'r Treat from 2007.

I really enjoyed Chronicle though.

Thanks, I'll look for that one. P4 was good, although I can admit it was the weakest so far. I do hope this ends the series though because I have a feeling every new installment will get a little worse.

Avoid Area 407.....terrible, just terrible.

Yeah, the characters in VHS doesn't exactly make you sympathize....but man, it's refreshing to not have the camera pull away when the shit starts going down.

Episode 2 is brilliant. The chick from Downton is on it. Its extremely well executed, anyone that thrives on post apocalyptic would die for it.

Another series to add is 24. Quite entertaining.

You stopped BB? Whoooa. You must live on an alternate earth. That show is the best thing on TV by miles. Its the 2nd best show ever next to The Wire IMO.

24? That shit is rote.
