I wouldn't go that far, but it was pretty shite. The "scares" were all predicated; each time we are given a view from the set up camera, the time on the camera speeds through the night until it slows down, and suddenly the viewers focus is on the bedroom. And, surprise surprise, after a few seconds, there's a sound or something moves or the girl starts acting peculiar, and its supposed to be terrifying. The scares are all set up and manufactured, there was very little original about the whole thing. Also, the film's 'found footage' genre implies there should be some degree of realism, especially considering the extent of the characterisation and the nature of the films intent (to be frightening through subtlety). However, the characters actions are consistently absurd (even by horror film standards): their choice to remain in the house, not bothering to expose the footage, the boyfriend was contradiction personified, the demonologist was pointless etc etc I might benefit from a second viewing, but i really struggled with this film the first time round. 4/10 - face-slappingly unspectacular, bordering on ridiculous. Saw, however, (discounting sequels) is an inventive and original horror film, with a delightfully sinister tone. The scene where the photographer navigates his pitch black apartment with the flash on his camera is genuinely menacing.

McGlynn does enjoy a suspect 'early season' signing. Hopefully this boy is more of a Javier Amaya, who I always thought had potential, than a Juan Guerrero, who looked totally out of his depth. Glad we've strengthened in the wide areas, though. I assume a short term deal will be until January?
