I don't see how any horror fan could NOT like this movie :dunno:
I've got a collection of probably nearly 150 horror dvds, and I think its the best one thats been released in at least 10 years.

See it. In theaters.
There really is no middle ground. It will either freak you out, or you'll think it's dumb. But if you see it, see it in the theater. Get the full crowd effect. Don't wait for the DVD.
Walking out of the theater, there were girls crying. The person sitting next to me thought it was overhyped. It got to me. I had to sit and collect myself for a little while. Just sitting there like... wow. Wow.
Just don't believe what that person said about the sound. Yeah, the loud, sudden startles contribute, especially to the climax of the picture. But to me, it was just the creepiness of something terrible that you know nothing about, that just escalates as the plot moves on. Even the last few, most terrifying seconds (imo) aren't about the inital startle-fuck, but the creepy cuddling after. lol There are some truly frightening moments that just linger.

Same here.
There was a couple of parts that were o.k.,but it was too much of a Blair Witch wannabe.
The thing about this movie that I found extremely annoying was that you had people making stupid fucking decisions that any normal "real" person wouldn't make,and that fact that *SPOILER*(highlight here) They gave away the ending in the commercial when you see a body flying into the camera that's set up in the bedroom.Subsequently,as you watch the movie,you are waiting for that part,and when you finally realize when it's comming,it's not even scary,because it's not a surprise.Would've been more effective if they left that out of the commercial. (to here)

Your right mate but the end of that movie ruined it for me but up until the end when they come across the big spider & it gets a bit ridiculous , it was absolutly brilliant , when I watch it now I just switch it off near the end :1orglaugh
Just finished watching it for the first time, made the mistake of looking it up on wikipedia midway through and found out the ending. Not a bad film at all although a bit boring at times. Maybe the story needed a bit more depth/explanation although the ending was creepy and enexpected (unless you looked it up on wikipedia midway through 
)

Some truth in that, but I think that the film didnt need more dept/explanation. Boring at times? I dont think so, but boring - or "boring" - parts is needed in a film. Especially in horror films and action films. It is a part of the dynamics of a film.
Anyway: looks like you approve the film, and that makes me happy. It is one of my favorites.
I was dissapointed by P.A. 2, but it had some elements I liked. I'm looking forward to P.A. 3
