Is it gory? Because my stepdad had mixed feelings about it, and he likes the gory stuff.

Someone explodes. But that's really the only gory thing I can remember.

And, JDog, this is really the kind of movie you want to see in theaters if you can. I don't think the small screen would do it justice at all.
yea, well I don't really like watching these kind of movies with other people, its more scary by your self. lol

DarkZelda

I really want to go see it.

I know they used hand-held home video cameras for the home-movie effect and scare tactics.

"Dude... I'm just saying I would be so scared if a Flaming Hobo came out of the darkness right now" :P :P
I really liked Hud.

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

Yes, Hud was awesome.

SPOILAS

What exactly happened to him? Did Clovie bite him in half or something? 'Cause you only get to see his upper body fall on the ground, as far as I recall. Whatever happened, he certainly didn't deserve to go like that. *sadface*

And poor Marlena. Ick.

Also, I think there might have possibly been more than one monster. He seemed to change sizes quite a bit. It also looked like a tentacle destroyed the bridge which I don't remember the later monster having.


END SPOILAS

Yeah, thats exactly what we were saying! It seemed to look different in every scene we saw it! Do you remember when they were saving beth, and they were in her apartment? The  monster came at them, and looked awfully similar to a T-Rex. Everyone thought that, even my cousin and his mom who went to see it. It seemed different all the time.

Now what I think happened to Hud(seeing as how there was no blood upon his death), is that he was lifted off the ground, and then dropped like 40 stories down. I think he dies upon collision with the ground. Oh but look! The Camera survived! XD
Yeah, that really sucked. Right when Hud and that one chick who got bit were finally getting close, she exploded and he got eaten. How much does that suck?! XD Man that really pissed me off.

Huh...The movie must not be very long...I mean, the length of an average movie, but since it's all continous on one camera, only a two hour time period could be portrayed in the movie, unlike other movies where they skip days and weeks and such.

You know that they have a little thing called 'editing' right? So it's probably not one continuous seam.

Yeah, sometimes Hud turns the camera off. Still, the movie was actually only an hour and a half long.

They probably just used more than one camera. Just because a camera's damaged doesn't mean that the information is as well. If it falls, stuff can STILL be retrieved.

Yeah, my dad an I saw an interveiw with the director. Supposedly they are using a camera phone. And about Hud and the monster sizing. I dont know how to make the highlight text thing so just scroll down till you see END SPOILERS!



Spoilers!









Hud was I think bitten in half because the monster bends down and opens his mouth to bite. So I just figure. And I think that there were more than one monster. Because when you see the monster at one point its bigger than the empire state building. And at another point its the size of a house. So yeah. And since two characters did survive, even if they made a sequil it would not have the camera phone effect, nor would it have the same effect since most people have seen what the monster is.









END SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!
Im going to see it again this weekend. I loved it. And I want one of the parasite spider thingies as a pet! Id love to randomly make people explode!

It's a code up above this box, King P-diddy.

Er, I have yet to see the movie. I might, I might not. My head's been hurting all week and I don't want to see a lot of home-video like camera effects on TV. >_> I may see it in my house sometime. I just hate being with people in theatres because everyone in this town tells the characters what to do. >_> or gets up and starts having.... relations in the theatre. o_o

I've heard it's good, and I've heard it sucks. I'm going to watch it and be indifferent.

Takun

Just came back from seeing it again. Thweeeeet!
