This movie is a total delight for fans of handheld camera movies. The ending was very good, no forced shit like other horror films.

I didn't like it when it came out but I tried to watch it again today and it still sucks. I'm usually one of those people who understands people like different things but I honestly can't wrap my head around why people are raving on about this movie. The first 45 minutes is just them fighting about a map. You see some sticks, oooooh. And nothing until the last 4 minutes. Utter shite.

Four and a half stars might seem overly generous, but I believe this film truly deserves them. I still remember watching it for the first time as a young boy, when we somehow got our hands on a VHS copy. Back then, we all believed it was genuine footage of the three missing students. I can vividly recall sitting in front of the TV, eyes wide with fear and dread. Years later, I watched it alone and found that I still loved it just as much. Today,…
