jumei-san I love found footage films so I obviously had to give this one a chance. I really like how it started out, two people moving to the woods to make a nature documentary. I like this movie because it is different. Not a group of teenage friends who rent a cabin in the woods and end up being slashed to death by a creepy figure. Just two adults leaving their hectic life in the city to try something else, but find something entirely different that captures their interest.But then it takes a really bad turn. No more found footage and a really trippy and vague ending. This movie could have been SOOOOO good! But the ending, it ruined it all. Sigh.Even so, I can recommend this movie to anyone who liked found footage movies. Just don't expect a perfect movie. It's not flawless, but different. And that's what I like about it.

Addie Joy I believe the reason a lot of people dislike this movie is because it really isn't a conventional horror. It's nothing like Slenderman or the Blair Witch Project. But it's got themes that I find very enjoyable. It's disturbing more than it is scary, and it's so aesthetically pleasing that I found myself wanting to move into the woods too - at first. The fact that the main characters were nature photographers really sets up the movie to have some wonderful scenery. Penny and Scott were a beautiful couple, and I loved the portions of the movie where they were peaceful and happy together. You expect the movie to start out happy and then fly off the deep end, like most horror movies do, but this one doesn't do that. Rather, it's set on a gradual increase, from peaceful to stressed to scary to insane. That might bother some people, but I found it very pleasing, simply because it wasn't quite like most horror movies. I absolutely love the way the conflict was carried out. For the first half of the movie, you genuinely expect Mr. Jones to be the main antagonist. But as time goes on, and you see the way he interacts with the main characters, it doesn't feel that way anymore. In fact, at some point, we find that the real antagonist is more of a concept than a physical being. The way that was developed was completely unexpected for the viewer. Again, that might bother people - they want a real antagonist, like an alien or a ghost or Mr. Jones himself. But in this movie, the closest thing we have to a physical antagonist is actually the protagonists. It's a complex idea, and I find it to be beautiful. I usually don't like found-footage films. They seem to always have the same concept. However, this one really resonated well with me. The aesthetics are beautiful, the concept is complex, the characters are well-executed, and the scary aspect is psychologically disturbing. If I had to name what kind of movie this even is, I'd call it an Aesthetic Thriller.

sarinabit I'm really not entirely sure why this film has gotten such awful reviews. I personally thought this was beautifully captured and written. It's definitely one of those films that you really have to pay attention to understand it. Because there wasn't much dialogue aside from the dialogue between Penny and Scott, it leaves a lot of the film up to the imagination. The ending of the film ties up everything perfectly and pulls all the information gathered from the rest of the film and makes complete sense. Every single question that you would have about Mr.Jones has already been answered. Where did Mr.Jones come from? From the last "Mr.Jones". What was Mr.Jones doing? Warding off the dream world from the real word. Why didn't Mr.Jones want to talk to Penny/why didn't he talk to her? Because he's literally battling his own reality where the real world and the dream world are colliding and he has probably learnt to ignore anything that talks to him. Everything makes perfect sense, you just have to piece it all together in your head.In terms of the cinematography, it was shot wonderfully. In the beginning, there is a featured "shot montage" just like the series of shots featured in Scott's colliding world's. The way this movie was filmed ties perfectly well with what is happening. It's quite obvious that the choppy and confusing shots were put in there for a reason - because the character's in the film were confused about what was going on and also trying to put everything together. The shots mimic the plot and it is wonderful in all honesty. If you're in search of a film that is terrifying, seemingly realistic and extremely suspenseful, this is the film for you.

Helena Rix Warming This movie is really thought through and the details are to perfection! - but you have to get it just right, and I think I did. Its all filmed by handhold camera and they did a great job! In the beginning we meet Scott and Penny, a happy young couple there just sold their apartment and moved away from family and friends, because Scott wanted to make a documentary about nature. They gambled it all and moved into a forest far away from civilization. Scotts interest is lost fast and this create troubles in their relationship.One day they run into Mr. Jones, a gateway keeper who keeps nightmares out of our world. He do this with these creepy "totems", he places around the woods, they make some sort of force. They will now make a movie about Mr. Jones and his art, because he is known as a mysterious artist and such a movie could bring in a load of money! .... Scott and Penny disturbs Mr. Jones force and now they will fight the consequences.You have to listen carefully when you see the interviews Scott do. This movie is a masterpiece and the "totems" are beautiful!
