i just watch this on my own last night and it certainly make me think twice about go to bed . i only find out afterwards that it be make pre blair witch which make it even more appealing in my book although i do not fall for the this be the real film footage line . however a a film i really enjoy it and yes the act isn not brilliant at time and the effect aren not great but the real joy come with the suspense that the film generates . there be moment in the film and especially when they go upstairs for the first time to look for the alien where the suspense be almost unbearable . this be also heighten at time just before a crucial moment when the film halt and a message appear to warn you about the following scene and very effective . on the downside the alien aren not particular scary and remind me of the one in scary movie 3 and and also the so called expert be pretty wooden . however and the premise of the film be excellent and the fact that it have convince so many people that it be genuine be a tribute to the film maker . it a shame that this do not enjoy similar success a blair witch because between the two and alien abduction be certainly more scarier .
